Possible Causes

Blocked tool nozzle, Air leak at hose-tool connection, Full or misfitted dirty water tank, Low suction due to dirty filters

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before cleaning tools or filters.

  • Clean tool head: Rinse the tool under warm water and clear any lint from the suction slot.
  • Check hose-tool seal: Ensure the tool is firmly attached to the hose and that any rubber seal is intact.
  • Empty dirty tank and clean filters: Make sure the dirty water tank is not full and that filters are clean and dry.
  • Use slow passes: Move the tool slowly over the fabric or carpet, making multiple dry passes to improve extraction.
