Troubleshooting
Vacuum Issues
The machine is on, but the vacuum motor works intermittently.
Please contact the manufacturer or an authorized service agent. A loose wiring connection
can cause intermittence. An authorized professional must repair the machine.
Solution System Issues
The machine lost water pressure.
Check the level of solution in the lower tank and refill if necessary.
The machine is on and the spray button or hand tool lever is depressed,
but no spray comes out.
Try the following:
• Make sure the ON switch is set to the appropriate setting, either Tool or Carpet, not "0" for off.
• Check the small solution line hose at the back of the machine. Connect the line securely at the quick
coupler if necessary.
• Brush the spray tips with a soft-bristle brush, such as an old toothbrush, to remove any build-up that may
be clogging the tips. Do not brush spray tips with any kind of wire or metal brush. Do not try to unclog the tip
by poking it with a pin or any other object.
• Hand Tool only: Remove the spray tip with a nut driver. Rinse the tip, blow air through it to remove any build-up that may be
clogging the tip. Reattach the tip with the nut driver. Make sure to position the tip opening so that it sprays side to side.
• Check the lower tank sump filter inside the lower tank and clean if necessary. Refer to the Maintaining Your Rug Doctor

Excessive Foaming
Foam in the recovery tank is caused most often by cleaning carpet where spray foams have been
used previously, or by using other brands of cleaning solutions. Rug Doctor cleaning solutions are
specially designed to maximize performance. If foam occurs, turn off the machine and empty the
recovery tank.

• After the carpet is completely dry, clean the area with your Rug Doctor machine making sure to avoid overwetting the
carpet. Stains may continue to appear if the carpet is overwetted.
