Why Is My Carpet Cleaner Not Spraying Water? Here’s How to Fix It

If your carpet cleaner has suddenly stopped spraying water, it can be a frustrating problem. However, the solution is often quite simple. The most common reason for a carpet cleaner to stop spraying water is a clogged filter.

Unclogging the Filter

The filter in your carpet cleaner is designed to prevent debris and dirt from entering the machine and potentially causing damage. Over time, this filter can become clogged, preventing water from flowing through properly.

To fix this issue, you’ll need to locate the flow indicator filter, which is typically found on the front right side of the machine’s foot. Unscrew the cap and remove the filter. Rinse it under clean water to remove any debris or buildup, then replace it and screw the cap back on.

Once the filter is clean, turn the machine on and check if the water is now spraying properly. If the issue persists, you may need to check for any other blockages in the water lines or nozzles.
