Possible Causes

Leaking solution pump check valve, Cracked internal solution hose, Dripping spray nozzle, Faulty tank shut-off valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and remove both tanks. Place the machine on a towel.

  • Check tanks first: Fill the Zanussi clean tank and leave it standing on a sink. If it drips from the outlet, replace the tank valve or tank.
  • Inspect spray nozzles: With tanks removed, check if residual water drips from the floor head. Persistent dripping may indicate a worn internal check valve.
  • Open base and inspect hoses: Remove the base cover and look for damp hoses or fittings. Tighten clamps and replace any cracked hoses.
  • Replace check valve/pump: If the solution pump internal check valve is leaking, replace the pump assembly.
