How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine before opening tanks.

- Use defoamer: Add a small amount of VAX-approved defoamer to the dirty water tank if recommended by the manual.
- Rinse carpets: Run a rinse-only cycle (water only, no detergent) to remove excess shampoo from the carpet.
