VAX carpet washer problem
Our VAX V-024 carpet washer now refuses to dispense water when the
trigger is pulled. I have dismantled it and found nothing obviously wrong. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix it? -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |

Most likely fault is a build up of detergent residue. Does that model have a pump or does the liquid flow by gravity? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Good idea to flush the machine with plain water after every use to stop this happening. |

This happened to our machine, no blockages, the trigger mechanism needs a 5p piece putting underneath the trigger - pull out the orange securing clip from the base of the handle, lift off the handle and place a 5p piece on top of the release button (you might want to put a bit of blue tack under to hold secure), re assemble the handle and no more problems!!
