Troubleshooting A 5808

My 5808 carpet cleaner blows, and has suction (i.e. it has air blowing out from underneath, and suction holds down the lid of the recovery tank), but doesn't pick up the cleaner it puts down.  It used to, and then suddenly, while using it, it stopped, and I can't figure out why not.  The recovery tank seems seated properly, and is empty.
