check for the tank being too full or full of froth and suds
there should be a ball valve that floats up to stop the water getting into the motor
if this happens the suction is stopped or considerably reduced
if you have not put de-frothing agent in the receiver then it is a possibility that that is your problem
you should be able to get the shampoo at wal-mart and any place else they sell the steam cleaners. You do not have to use the eureka shampoo for this unit, however, it is more recommended.
I mean you can use the hoover, and dirt devil shampoo if you can find that, or something generic. Because the machine is mixing the soap for you with the water, anything will work.
i have a vacuum shop in albuq, n.m. and i have a used atlantis release handle if you are close or you would like me to ship it to you , thanks Don the Vacuum Doctor
I got the machine working. I think because it hadn't been used for awhile that the seals were dried out. I wet them and let it sit for awhile and then I could push the containers all the way in and seated them properly. Then it started working no problem and I got to clean my carpets.
if it drips out while the tank is off the machine it couldbe the spring load mechanism in the cap. try soaking it in hot water for a few minutes to swell the rubber then with a pen push the spring plate up and down to lubricate the rubber. then try and see if that works. usually they are gravity fed systems but only works when the tank is in the unit.
I have contacted Eureka and they have suggested I send back the serial number label, and describe the problems I am having with it. They have offered/suggested in my phone call to them, that they would likely replace the unit. I'll see how it turns out. Just sent the letter away (Sep 2, 2008).
I have an Eureka Atlantis Deep Steam Extractor and it does the same thing. It's not new but it hasn't been used much. The only thing the booksays
is to put the tank in until it snaps into place. (Like we didn'ttry
that.) Apparently it's a bad design. The seal on mine looks fine.
If I was doing the floor I'd just keep going but I'm trying to do my couches and I don't need a huge puddle on the floor.
