How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Red light blinking means the batteries are not installed correctly. Please check with the batteries and make sure the positive and negative anodes of the batteries are with the same direction as the symbols(“+”, “-“) noted in the battery box. “+” means positive anodes, and “-” means negative anodes.
If you are experiencing this issue, the first thing to check is the sensor area. The sensor area might be obstructed by soap or sanitizer residue. Clean the area, removing any visible residue, and test the unit. Pro Tip: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the dispenser or cartridge.
Your unit will have a blinking red light to indicate it needs to be charged.
When the foaming filter is clogged it will prevent foam from producing. Flush your foaming pump (never soak or submerge your pump) with white vinegar. Once you have your pump cleared, it is recommended to flush your pump with a warm water and white vinegar solution with every soap refill.
Clogged Dispenser
Sometimes a soap dispenser becomes clogged with dried or solidified soap and prevents the dispenser from working. First, unscrew the dispenser and remove the trigger and pump section of the soap dispenser. Take this section and put it in hot water to soak for approximately 10-15 minutes.
If you have restarted your device and it still isn`t working, reset your Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser: Press the power button 5 times. You will see a red blinking light. A blue light blinks when reset is complete.
It may be that the soap dispenser only has drained batteries, the sensor may be obstructed, or some of its parts may actually be broken. You may try clearing the obstruction, replacing the batteries, or check if there are any loose, rusted, or broken parts of the sensor mechanism.
In general, these devices utilize a passive infrared sensor that`s activated by waving a hand or object nearby. Once activated, the device dispenses a pre-programmed amount of soap. Automatic dispensers built into sink basins often feature radar-based sensors, which sense disruptions in energy.
How often you clean your pump, what soap or lotion you use, if you have hard water, and how frequently your pump is used are the most common reasons for wear + tear. In our experience, our pumps can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before a replacement may be needed.
Infrared sensors detect infrared energy that is emitted by one`s body heat. When hands are placed in the proximity of the sensor, the infrared energy quickly fluctuates. This fluctuation triggers the pump to activate and dispense the designated amount of soap.
Pour in about a ΒΌ cup of rubbing alcohol (99% is recommended) into the reservoir. Press and hold the (+) button to run the alcohol through the dispenser. This may take about 30-40 seconds. Release (+) button once you see alcohol flowing through the spout.
Provided that the soap itself hasn`t run out, the most common reasons for this may be: If your dispenser has not been used in a long period of time it may become clogged. The sensor may be damaged, the batteries have run out or the wiring is faulty (in the case of automatic soap dispensers).
Unit is not dispensing and motor sounds can be heard. Sensor pump may be clogged. Completely cover the sensor window and tap the power button quickly 3 times (within 2 seconds). Note that this will make the pump run continuously until the sensor window is uncovered.
Battery Troubles:
If your HP laptop has a removable battery, remove it and reinsert it after a few seconds. Sometimes, a faulty connection can cause the power light to blink. If you can access a spare battery, try swapping it to see if the issue persists.
The Power button is blinking. This condition might be caused by an open ink cartridge access door, an empty input tray, a paper jam, or a carriage jam. An error message might display on your computer. If a `paper jam` error message displays on your computer, try the steps to clear the paper jam.
Water can stop flowing from the fridge dispenser when supply lines become frozen, clogged, or kinked. Some water lines run through the freezer, so if the temperature is set too low, the water line will become frozen. If there is ice in the line, allow it to defrost.
Vinegar and salt are both great at reducing the foam caused by detergents for hand washing. Salt reduces the surface tension of the water, inhibiting the production of suds.
The pump is attached to a tube that runs into the chamber where the soap is placed. When the pump is triggered manually by applying pressure, it first forces air out of the tube to set up a suction effect, which draws the liquid soap back up the tube, dispensing it through the pump nozzle for the handwashing.
In most facilities, batteries in soap dispensers last for one to two years. However, some high-volume buildings may have to replace them once or twice a year.
A DC type (use batteries) is more common in the market. It is flexible to install since you don`t need a socket. You can easily put a DC type auto soap dispenser on the wall of washrooms, on the counter with a table stand, or at the entrance of a building with a floor stand.
Most manufactured soap has a two to three-year expiration date, but it may last longer than that. As long as the soap creates a lather, it`s working. If, however, your soap doesn`t seem to be creating a lather, it`s probably not killing germs and cleaning effectively.
Bacteria from fecal matter & other sources can grow inside the dispenser. The sad truth is that soap from bulk soap dispensers is prone to becoming contaminated. According to recent studies, contaminated soap may actually do the opposite of what they`re supposed to do.
Try a soft reset, by pressing power button for 12 seconds and then power on the device. If your soap dispenser isn`t used for a prolonged time, soap can accumulate and clog the nozzle. To troubleshoot, clean the nozzle area with water and remove any stuck soap.

I purchased a brand new P113 Ryobi charger about 2 years ago. It has never worked. If I put a P104 battery in for a charge, it looks like it works correctly. I push the battery tester on the battery itself, and it says full charge, but when I go to use the bateery, it dies right away. I have tried three new P104 batteries. The batteries charge on my charger at work with no problem. The funny thing is, I don't need a battery in the charger and the charger does the same thing, It runs the test
ANSWER : If you have your receipt, check with Ryobi to see if it is still under warranty. It comes with either a 2 or 3 year warranty, depending on when it was purchased. If it is still covered, get it replaced/repaired. If it is not, buy the P117 charger. $30 at Home Depot. It has a 90 day satisfaction guarantee. If it charges your batteries properly, you’re good. If not, bring it back if you don’t like/want it. My P113 won’t get out of test mode now, or charge Lithium batteries anymore. So I bought the P117 yesterday. Works great, and it’s a lot cheaper than new batteries! And it has a 3 year warranty.

I have a 2 fluorescent light fixture in my bathroom. The right side light quit working. I took the starter out of the left side and put it in the right and it worked. Starter, right? I bought a package of 2 Leviton starters FS 2 15w. They didn’t work. Thinking bad, I returned it for another package. Still not working. The original starter is a Sylvania FS 2. Is it possible to have FOUR bad “new” starters? Do I need to replace it with the EXACT same starter? This light fixture is 38 years old. No
ANSWER : It is not likely that you had 4 bad starters.I assume you have more modern lights in it too(not 30 yrs old).Here is a link to Sylvania.It may be just that it requires certain something(who knows what)that only Sylvania has.It seems strange because they are all basically the same and a generic one seems like it would work.I also googled flourescent light starters and under one that talked about operation,it did refer to some older models.But like I said,it probably has newer lights so who knows what the heck.Well,here you go.You may also just want to call Sylvania and ask where you can find a replacement instead of paying $5 to ship $2 worth of parts.

I have the IROBOT discovery that just got a new battery. IT ran great! As the battery was dying, I put it into the home base. The “brick” is green, the home base has two green lights and the on/off pulsates red. It never charges though. Eventually the red light stops pulsating. Customer service said to reset it, clean the metal, and nothing works! They told me to just buy another one. The problem is that I know it was working! Help!
ANSWER : The best thing that you can do is take the charger into somewhere that can test it for the proper output voltage. It should be somewhere very close to 22 volts with no fluctuation. The charger is the easiest thing to test in this case.

I have a Roomba 560 (it’s still in warranty !!) and, after my summer vacation, it has a problem.
When I’m charging Roomba, the orange light blinks (and this is normal!) but this orange blinking continues forever…. the light doesn’t change to green.
If I detach Roomba from the charger, the light become green and it works normally until the light changes to red and I have to charge it again.

WHY, DURING THE CHARGING PHASE, THE LIGHT DOESN’T CHANGE FROM ORANGE-BLINKING TO GREEN?
HAVE I
ANSWER : The problem is not with the charger itself but it is with the battery inside the Roomba. It sunds like one or more of the cells has gone bad so its not holding the same charge as it did. I would recomend sending it in while the warranty is still valid so they will replace it. Your charger and the Roomba itself should be fine.
A few tips to keep the battery working longer:
Only charge the battery when it is drained all the way to zero. It will help keep the battery active.
Only charge the battery until it is full and then disconect it from the power source. It will keep it active longer plus it will help keep your electric bill down.

last a year. Roomba says leave the r Roomba charging all the time so
it’s ready when you need it, and that’s nice but I feel that leaving it
charging like that it will kill the battery faster as it is always warm
to the touch. These battery’s should last at least 5

I have a new Hoover Dual V steam vac that I bought from a neighbor who only used it once. I have only used it once since then and it worked great. This time, because I am pregnant, I bought some non-toxic cleaner that was much thicker than the very watery Hoover soap. This vac has a wash option and a rinse option. The rinse option works (sprays and sucks properly), but the wash cycle doesn’t at all-neither soap nor water comes out. Nothing comes out, but it still sucks. I took everything o
ANSWER : There’s a powerful electric motor attached to a fan that sucks in air.Did you checked and cleaned that motor.If the dirt is got stuck up ion the motor then the motor will not spin as per its regular speed.For rinsing the motor spin on one cycle but for washing it spins on reverse side.Its a dual spin motor.If its getting blocked on other side then that particular function will not work..————————.Empty the recovery tank of the Hoover SteamVac if the cleaner fails to pick up dirt. Once the tank is full, many Hoover models have an automatic shutoff that stops the cleaner. If this does not resolve the pickup issue, check the hoses of the machine and remove any blockages.———-
Examine the water tank if water does not dispense from the SteamVac. It could be empty and in need of a refill, or you may not have locked the dispenser firmly in place. The detergent tank should also be looked at and filled if empty.———-
.Determine if the valve cap is clogged if detergent won’t dispense from the Hoover cleaner. To remove clogs, unscrew the cap and then place it in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Once dry, screw the cap back in.—–
.Clean the filter screen at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner if the brushes fail to rotate while in use. To access the filter screen, place the machine on its side and pull the tab at the base of the unit. Wipe off the debris with a clean cloth.————
