6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No suction or weak suction | Dirty water tank full; hose or attachment clogged; tank not properly seated. | Empty and clean dirty water tank; check hose and attachments for blockages; ensure tanks are securely in place. |
| No spray or weak spray | Clean water tank empty; solution tanks not properly seated; spray nozzle clogged. | Refill clean water tank; ensure tanks are securely in place; clean spray nozzle. |
| Unit not turning on | Not plugged in; power outlet not working. | Ensure unit is securely plugged into a working outlet. |
| Stains not fully removed | Insufficient application of solution; not enough scrubbing/suction passes; old/set-in stain. | Apply more solution and allow it to penetrate; make additional scrubbing and suction passes; for very old stains, multiple treatments may be required. |
