Carpet cleaner leaves carpets very wet and does not pick up much dirty water

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting the nozzle and tank.

• Empty dirty water tank: Remove and empty the dirty water tank. Rinse and ensure the float moves freely up and down.
• Inspect nozzle gasket: Check the rubber gasket where the nozzle meets the body. If torn, flattened, or missing, replace it to restore a good seal.
• Clean suction path: Remove the nozzle and clear any buildup in the suction channel. Rinse the nozzle under warm water and dry thoroughly.
• Use more dry passes: After spraying, make several passes with the trigger released to extract as much water as possible.
• Motor check: If suction feels weak at all points and other causes are ruled out, the suction motor may be worn and require replacement.
