How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before removing tanks.

  • Reseat dirty tank: Remove and reinstall the dirty water tank, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
  • Inspect inlet: Check the opening where dirty water enters the tank for blockages and clear them.
  • Check float: Ensure the float inside the tank is not stuck in the closed position. Clean and free it if necessary.
  • Look for cracks: Inspect the recovery channel and tank for cracks that could cause leaks before water reaches the tank.
