Common conclusions

Due to the power outage your carpet cleaner may not be working properly. Call your local utility supplier and inform them about the power outage.

This may be the cause for your malfunctioning carpet cleaner. Plug it in properly and try again.

The flipped switch may why the carpet cleaner isn't working. Flip the switch and restart the carpet cleaner.

The power switch may have malfunctioned. You may change the switch yourself as it is easy to do so, or contact a professional.

Contact a professional as the cause may be a free running motor.

We are unable to determine the cause of the problem. Contact the original manufacturer or take the carpet cleaner to an electrician.

The problem is most likely a faulty belt. Purchase a new belt from your closest manufacturer's shop and replace it yourself and try again.

You should check if there is any thing stuck between the brushes such as toys or any other debris. clear the brush by removing it from the housing.

Order a replacement from the original manufacturer as a faulty brush makes it difficult for the cleaner to work properly.

The problem is most likely with a clogged nozzle. Clean the nozzles and the hose before plugging the cleaner in again.

Fill each tank with the appropriate amount of water and try again as the cleaner requires water to work properly.

Check the rubber rings around the tanks and make sure they are properly placed. If the problem still persists you should contact the original manufacturer and file a request for service as the problem may be with a leak in the tank.

Change the settings as a carpet cleaner has multiple modes and for most rugs and carpets, the mode is to be set for floor cleaning.

First clean the filters as clogged filters stop the cleaner from sucking in the water properly.

Replace the pipe as due to a broken pipe the pump will fail to suck the water at the proper pressure.

Contact the original manufacturer as the problem may be with a faulty latch or door as a not fully closed door allows the air to leak.
