For all you DIY'rs out there, if you do not use your carpet cleaner ofter or flush the cleaner side afetr use, it will clog. If you experience a problem after sitting up a while getting the cleaning solution to flow try flishing several times with "hot" water. To flush, fill the solution side of your dispenser with hot water and run the unit in the "wash" position with the dispense button pushed. If no flow is observed, cycle the button several times. Keep trying. It took me several tries but slow flow eventually changed to good flow. Final advise is to flush the cleaning solution side of the dispensor by running clean water through the unit if you plan to store the carpet cleaner for several months before the next use.
