How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and remove both tanks before inspection.
- Inspect clean water tank: Fill the tank and hold it over a sink. Check for drips from seams or the base valve. Replace the tank if cracked.
- Check tank base seal: Examine the rubber seal around the tank outlet. If flattened, split, or missing, replace the seal or tank.
- Inspect base connectors: Look at the solution inlet on the machine base. Ensure the O-rings are intact and not perished. Replace O-rings if worn.
- Check internal hoses: Remove the base cover and inspect solution hoses for splits or loose clamps. Refit or replace as necessary.
