Where do i attach the hose
The hose should be fixed beside the canister that collects the debrie, you may have to open a door/plastic cover to access it.
Steamer has quit steaming. I
Any device that actually makes steam should use distilled water. You are boiling away the water to make steam. Everything in the water that is not water will remain in your 'boiler'. So, what to do now ... treat it with vinegar. Vinegar should disolve the minerals left in your boiler.
Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com
I have a Dirt Devil
I'm not sure what the other expert has told you but the only way to test for a short circuit would be using a multimeter and measuring the resistance of the motor, but to do this you would need to know what the reistance of a good motor is.
The other way would be to use a Megger Tester and inject a voltage into the motor.
Either way I don't think you'll gain anything by carrying out any test as there can only be a short in the switch, cable or motor.
Looking at the cable for any damage should tell you if this is where the short is.
If you disconnect the motor and make the ends you've disconnected safe (cover with insulation tape) then plug the unit in and switch on. If the circuit breaker still trips then the fault is with the switch or cable, if it doesn't then the fault is with the motor.
If you try this and let me know what happens we can move on from their.
