Possible Causes

Faulty detergent dosing valve, Incorrect detergent concentration setting, Leaking detergent line, User over-triggering spray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and remove detergent reservoir.

  • Check settings: Ensure the detergent concentration or intensity setting is not set to maximum unnecessarily.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look for detergent residue around hoses and fittings; repair or replace leaking parts.
  • Valve test: With the unit off, observe if detergent continues to drip from the nozzle. If so, the dosing valve is likely stuck open and should be replaced.
  • Usage technique: Use shorter trigger pulls and more suction-only passes to reduce detergent use.
