How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the handle.

  • Open handle housing: Remove screws from the handle to access the trigger mechanism.
  • Inspect trigger parts: Check the spring, pivot, and lever for damage. Replace any broken components with genuine Vileda parts.
  • Reconnect linkage: Ensure the linkage rod or cable from the trigger to the solution valve is properly attached at both ends.
  • Lubricate pivot: Apply a small amount of suitable lubricant to the trigger pivot if it feels stiff (avoid overspray on plastic surfaces).
