How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Your iron may leak or drip if the temperature is set too low. Your iron needs to get hot enough to turn water into steam. Give your iron a few minutes to heat up before using it. Check your user manual and make sure that you`re using your iron at a temperature setting that is hot enough for the steam function.
To avoid any water dripping, set the steam control to « dry » mode while filling the iron water tank and while iron is not being used. To avoid any water dripping, do not push the “Turbo Boost” steam trigger more than 3 times in a row. Wait a few seconds before starting again.
Over time, lime or gunk may form on your iron`s soleplate, causing your iron to drip water. For milder cases, try wiping the soleplate with a wet rag dipped in water or vinegar and wring out the excess water. You may add a few drops of dish soap to the water. Set your iron to the lowest temperature and let it warm up.
If the temperature of your iron is too low, it may dribble or leak. At a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, the water turns into steam. Without proper reaching this temperature, steam cannot form, and water will leak through the soleplate as you try to iron.
If your garment steamers hose is forming a U shape, condensation may not be able to flow into the water tank. This will cause the base to leak. If this is the case, please re-position the hose, making sure it is straight, and lift up the head so condensation can flow back into the tank.
Storing the iron with water in it.
Always empty the iron`s water tank before putting the iron away, especially if you store it on its soleplate. This keeps excess water from damaging the internal parts and leaking through and discoloring the soleplate.
If the iron is leaving brown water spots on clothes when using steam, that means it`s time to clean the reservoir. Empty the reservoir completely and refill with 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar and 3/4 cup distilled water.
To do so, unplug the iron and let it cool for 45 minutes. Then, empty it and remove the anti-calc valve. Soak it in a cup of white vinegar or lemon juice for 4 hours then rinse it and place it back in your iron.
Similar to how iron in a metal pail turns to rust when exposed to water and oxygen, iron minerals in the water turn to rust and stain plumbing fixtures and laundry.
Best overall clothing iron: Maytag M400 Steam Iron
As with most of the irons tested, this Maytag model features a self-cleaning setting with an anti-calcium system to keep its steam vents wide open and working well and doesn`t leak.
Water has condensed into steam in the hose
When you use steam for the first time or if you have not used it for a long time, steam may condense into water in the hose. To solve this, hold your Philips Iron away from the garment and press the steam trigger until steam comes out of the soleplate instead of water.
If you have a steam iron that sputters and leaves mineral-filled or rusty water spots on your clothes, it means the steam vents are clogged and the iron needs a good cleaning.
Silicone Repair Tape
Silicone tape has the ability to withstand temperatures up to 200 °C, so it is generally used on pipes that operate at lower temperatures and pressure outputs. The tape works like a rubber band. It molds to the area that has a leak or holes and is able to provide a strong plug.
If you are steaming food in a basket over boiling water in a pot, the food should never come in contact with the actual water, but rather just the vapor of the steam coming off it. So you never want to add too much water, but you also don`t want to add too little that it evaporates before properly steaming your food.
It is recommended that you replace your steam iron every 3-5 years, depending on how often it is used. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the soleplate should also be done to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, replacing any worn or damaged parts can help prolong the life of your steam iron.
Never overfill. Never use water left overnight in steamer.
The water should not touch the slats—you don`t want to boil the food.
Unplug the iron then hold your iron horizontally above the sink. Remove the anti-scale valve (or set the control to self-clean/autoclean depending on the model). Steam, water and scale deposits will leave the steam chamber through the steam holes and the iron will be clean.
When the red «water tank empty» light is flashing, there is no more steam. The water tank is empty. Switch off and unplug the product. Using a jug of water, fill to a maximum of 1.2 litre with untreated tap water and fill the tank, making sure not to exceed the «Max» level of the tank.
Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in hardware stores.
Repairability is easy
On a simple visit from your approved repairer, the faulty part of your Tefal product can be quickly replaced. This ensures that the product can be repaired after the Guarantee period and can be used for many years.
The water level in the tank is too low ==> Unplug the appliance and fill the tank. The pump is unprimed ==>Press and hold the steam button for a few seconds to prime the pump. The removable tank is not installed correctly ==> Check the correct positioning of the tank on the product.
Water containing ferrous iron is clear and colorless because the iron is completely dissolved. When exposed to air in the pressure tank or atmosphere, the water turns cloudy and a reddish brown substance begins to form. This sediment is the oxidized or ferric form of iron that will not dissolve in water.

We have a dyson dc 07 animal the machine was working fine then switched off after returning to the machine minutes later it wouldnt switch on, i removed on off switch cover and used a short piece of wire across the brown wires flicked the wall switch and it worked, aha i thought faulty switch aquired a new one to no avail and now even the short piece of wire trick doesnt work, has the motor died do you think, it wasnt over heating or making strange noises prior to refusing to work
ANSWER : It could be the motor. I’m having to replace the brushes on my DC 05. It appears that you can only get brushes for the YDK motors in the DYSON, not the Panasonic motor. Which might be saying something about the YDK motors. What happens is that the carbon brushes wear down which is normal. However, the contact wire from the brush to its connector is set so that when the brush wears down, the wire is short enough to stop the spring etc from damaging the commutator. The end result is that you get an intermittent operation of the motor before it finally dies.
.I believe all the DYSONs come with the option of both motors and you cannot really tell which motor you have until you take the thing to bits. You also cannot change motors without changing various other parts on the hoover. On my DC 05 the writing on the YDK motor tells you which one it is.
.This website www. tasweb.org ,select the DC 05 option and scroll down tells you how to take the thing to bits. A search on google etc for your DC 07 may give similar results. Best of luck!

I have a Bissell Pro 2x carpet cleaner. The water heats properly as well as spraying the cleaning product. However, when I go to suction the water from the carpets, the 2 in 1 water tank bladder works properly but there is no dirty water outside the bladder. I have only used this carpet cleaner ~ 5 times and in the beginning I had to empty the suctioned water quite frequently as it was dirty and it could not not hold any more water. So I have done 1 room and all the dirt remains in the carpet
ANSWER : Check that the suction cone is not blocked. Check that the filter or hose to the bladder isn’t blocked as well.

While using, steam stopped coming out in force at the port levels in the head. Suddenly started high pitch whining, pressed button just above connection site and end flew off with great force pouring water onto floor and carpet. Unplugged immediately for safety and unable to get it to deliver steam force again. Less than one year old and used only 8-10 times only in walk areas where there is no carpet with distilled water. Please, advise, cannot find booklet. Thanks So Much, Beverly Crumme

I have a Sunbeam Model Number 4065-000 and there is white particles comming out of the holes in the bottom. I think it is because we used tap water and there is a lot of deposits in the water. I read on the box that it was ok to use tap water and not distilled water. Is ther any way to clean the inside out to get the deposits cleaned out without affecting the possibility of doing something to the cloths that I will iron after cleaning the iron?
ANSWER : If the deposits are recent and still fairly soft, running a tank of vinegar through the machine should remove the deposits (obviously not using on any clothes, hold it over a sink). if the deposits are more stubborn, you can use a cleaning agent like CLR. rinse the tank out thoroughly after and run through a tank of clean water. good luck!

Water is not being discharged. I have filled the reservoir that holds the carpet cleaner fluid And I have filled the water container. I know how to use the cleaner, it has always worked, But now, no water is being discharged to the carpet. I turn it on, squeeze the trigger, but nothing comes out. The wheel that is suppose to spin (to indicate that water is being discharged) is not spinning. Everything else works. I.e. the suction works, and the hand held accessories work.
ANSWER : That means that the pump belt is worn and it needs to be replaced. You can get a replacement belt and view the manual here:

I have only had my shark steam mop for about a month and only used it twice. I tried to use it yesterday and it would not work. The green light came on and it worked for maybe ten seconds, then it completely shut off. I tried switching outlets and draining the water but nothing worked. It still doesn’t work today either. What do you think is wrong? Does this product have a warranty?
ANSWER : Yes has warranty call Shark/europro.

My Bissell Pro Heat Select 2X does not pull up the dirt from the carpet into the water. The water just slowly disappears. The first time I used it the water got really dirty. The very next time I used it it worked differently and the water just disappeared until it was all gone. I’ve only used it a couple times and I don’t see where it is working. Has anyone else had this problem?
ANSWER : Inside the plastic suction lid is a little red plastic filter that has to be cleaned out every time you use it because it sounds like your vaccum is not picking up all the hair and debri before you clean the carpet causing the water to be injected into the carpet and disappearing and not filling the tank with dirty water.

The steam mop was only used 3 times.stopped working. It has now stopped working altogether. I have only had it for a month. I did not save the receipt because after the third time working I thought it was okay. I am very disappointed and have a hand shop vac of Sharks which has been working for a year. I have been discouraged from buying another one of your products now that the steam mop has quit working after 3 times. I followed the exact instructions how to use it. Model S3101/ 120V 60HZ
