If your Hoover FH401061 carpet cleaner is not dispensing solvent or water, there are a few potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can take to address the issue. Here's what you can try:
Check the tank: Ensure that the solution or water tank is properly filled and securely attached to the machine. If the tank is not properly inserted or if it's empty, the cleaner will not dispense the solution or water. Also, check for any clogs or blockages in the tank's opening or tubes.
Check the solution/water level indicator: Some carpet cleaners have a solution or water level indicator to show when it's time to refill the tank. Make sure the indicator is not signaling that the tank is empty or needs refilling.
Check the settings: Ensure that the machine's settings are correctly adjusted. Depending on the model, there may be separate controls for solution dispensing and water extraction. Make sure these settings are appropriately configured for the desired operation.
Clean the spray nozzles: If the spray nozzles are clogged, they may prevent the solution or water from being dispensed. Remove the spray nozzles or attachments according to the manufacturer's instructions and clean them thoroughly. Use a pin or a small brush to clear any debris or build-up that may be obstructing the flow.
Check the pump and tubing: The pump and tubing system is responsible for drawing the solution or water from the tank and dispensing it. If the pump is not functioning correctly or if the tubing is kinked or blocked, it can affect the dispensing process. Carefully inspect the pump and tubing for any issues and ensure they are clear and in working condition.
Unclog or replace the solution valve: There may be a clog or blockage in the solution valve, preventing the solvent from being dispensed. Consult the user manual for instructions on how to access and clean the valve. If cleaning doesn't work, you may need to replace the valve.
