How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine and remove the dirty water tank.

  • Empty and clean tank: Empty the tank and rinse thoroughly. Remove any debris from the sealing surfaces.
  • Inspect gasket: Check the rubber gasket around the tank lid or base. If torn, flattened, or missing, replace the gasket or the entire tank assembly.
  • Check for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the tank body or lid. Replace the tank if any are found.
  • Do not overfill: Ensure you empty the tank before it reaches the maximum fill line to prevent overflow leaks.
