How to clean out nozzles

Hi Julie! If the cleaner is not picking up the dirty water this usually means something is not sealed off properly. Try these steps below to restore suction to your cleaner.

1. Remove the clean water tank. Recline the handle & let the handle lie down on the floor.
2. Remove the dirty water tank. Check that the dirty water tank cap is on the dirty water tank and tightened closed.
3. Clear the filter screen of any hair or debris.
4. Remove the nozzle. Clean the nozzle of any hair or debris.
5. Located on the machine behind the nozzle is a 2nd filter screen. Clean it of any hair or debris.
6. Replace the nozzle.
7. Replace the dirty water tank. Press down on all sides so that it is flush to the cleaner base.

Give it a try! The suction should be restored to your cleaner. If not I have included a video link where you may view these instructions. Hope this helps! Loss of Suction Won pick up Hoover Max Extract 77 FH50230 FH50222...

You must replace the print head., as long as printer detecting that nozzles are not firing properly., it keep on cleaning the head, result it will drains the inks from the ink tanks...once you replaced both print head & tanks, take print outs at least twice in a week., perform nozzle cleaning once in a month to avoid this type of nonsense..

I have today purchased a Miele 3985 machine with a know F50 Fault code appearing

Before I went to the expense of calling a Miele technician, I explored the blocked / clogged drain path

I removed the drain pipe and noticed there was a lot of 'residue' / gunk in there

I cleaned what I could, and blew through the pipe back into the machine

Then I did a cotton wash cycle at 90degrees, with a 1litre of bleach to clean the drain path

The wash looked extremely dirty during the cycle

It appears that this resolved the F50 fault code issue with my Miele 3985 Navitronic

The drain is clogged on the freezer defrost line. They put a little rubber pinched nozzle on the end of the line which causes the problem. I removed mine and cleaned it but decided to leave it off. Unplug the freezer. You will need to completely defrost the freezer to get the ice completely cleared from the drain hole. Then remove the lower back panel and reach up under the center of the freezer, following the drain trough up from the drip pan. When you feel the rubber nozzle you can easily pull it off. Clean the gunk out of it and decide what you want to do with it. I'm hanging on to mine in case I see a need to replace it. Just did this today. Took about 3 hours including defrosting slowly with a hair dryer on low. Also took a short nap in between.

It could be due to a dirty or clogged cartridge nozzles. Please follow the steps below to clean the nozzles:

1. On the control panel, press Copy.

2. Press Options until Maintenance appears on the display.

3. Press the right arrow until Clean appears on the display.

4. Press Select. A nozzle page prints, forcing ink through the clogged nozzles to clean them.

5. Print your document again to verify that your print quality has improved.

No fuel!! Several things can cause this, empty fuel tank, dirty fuel filter, plugged screen in the nozzle assembly,or plugged nozzle. So lets clean up the fuel system by first removing the top section of the heater and exposing the burner tray. Remove the tray and locate the fuel nozzle, remove the nozzle, now they say you can not clean them, I say with a q-tip, tooth pick and carb cleaner you can just be careful not to damage the nozzle. Behind the nozzle is a screen assembly these corrode at times so clean it up too. Below the nozzle assembly is the flame sensor, clean this with windex and a soft terry cloth rag, make sure it will have a clear unobstructed view of the flame.Put the nozzle assembly back together, and now inspect the fuel line for cracks, holes,and dry rot replace if necessary. Trace the lines down to the side where they come thru the case. Remove the side cover and locate the fuel line and in line filter, remove the filter. Cleaning this is easy you need a compressor and blow gun, all you do is blow air backwards thru the filter and instantly its clean. Inspect fuel lines and reassemble. Now make sure that you have clean fuel in your tank, and there is no water in it as well.Plug it in and you should now be heating like new. If not it could be your fuel pump!

This dishwasher has a circular filter path under the bottom plate - 6 screws - that can become filled inside with debris - you can remove it and wash it out with a garden hose.. Paul

The drain line between the faucet and the sink drain pipe is probably clogged.

1. First turn off the water to the RO system and close the valve from the storage tank.
2. The hardest part is figuring out how to detach the tubes and couplings The link below shows how to do this. You do not need tools.
3. http://www.freshwatersystems.com/support/103seriesmanual.pdf
4. Remove the connector from the sink drain. Then remove the connector from the tube,
5. I used a small skewer to clean out the gunk from the connector and then rinsed it out.
6. I used a long skewer to loosen the gunk in the tube, then turned on the water to the system to force the gunk out.
7. Then I just put it back together and it worked.

Read carefully this document from HP it will help you.
Solution
When the directions below ask you to remove the cartridges for a procedure, make sure to complete the procedure and reinstall the cartridges within 30 minutes. The ink in the cartridges can dry in the nozzles if the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long.

1. Remove both cartridges (even if the message indicates only one cartridge). See your printer's manual or help files for specific information on removing and inserting cartridges. Most HP printers must be turned on to remove the cartridges.
2. Unplug the printer.
3. Inspect the cartridges:
   • If the cartridges are new, make sure the protective tape has been removed completely.
   • Make sure the cartridges are not damaged. If the copper-colored electrical strip is torn or punctured, the cartridge must be replaced.
   • Make sure the cartridges are compatible with the printer. See the manual for a list of compatible cartridges.
4. Reinstall the cartridges.
   • Make sure each cartridge is in the correct slot.
   • Make sure the cartridge is snapped into place and the latch is closed.
   • Close the front cover and plug the printer back in.
5. If the steps above have not solved the problem, follow the procedure below to wipe the cartridge contacts.
   1. Remove both cartridges. See your printer's manual or help files for specific information on removing and inserting cartridges. Most HP printers must be turned on to remove the cartridges..
   2. Unplug the printer.
   3. Wipe the copper-colored electrical contacts with a clean, dry, lint-free cotton cloth. WARNING: Be careful not to touch the nozzle area. The illustrations below show nozzle and contact locations for some representative cartridges. Figure 1: Cartridge nozzles and contacts 1 - Nozzles 2 - Contacts Figure 2: Cartridge nozzles and contacts 1 - Nozzles 2 - Contacts If your cartridge doesn't look exactly like one of the illustrations above, locate the contacts by looking for an area with a number of small copper squares. The illustration below shows some representative cartridge contacts. Figure 3: Cartridge contacts
   4. Reinstall the cartridges, close the front cover, and plug the printer back in.
6. If the steps above do not fix the problem, follow the procedure below to clean the electrical contacts more thoroughly:
   1. Gather cleaning supplies:
      • Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available.
      • Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
   2. Remove both cartridges.
   3. Unplug the printer.
   4. Lightly moisten the lint-free cleaning material with clean water.
   5. Clean the cartridge contacts. Avoid touching the nozzles. Replace the cleaning material if it gets dirty.
   6. Using a new swab, clean the electrical contacts inside the printer, in the carriage. The illustrations below show contact locations for some representative carriages. If your carriage does not look like either of the pictures below, try to locate copper contacts inside of the printer that would touch the contacts on the cartridge when the cartridge is installed. Figure 4: Carriage contacts Figure 5: Carriage contacts
   7. Allow all the contacts to dry for at least five minutes, or dry them with a clean swab, then reinstall the cartridges.
   8. Close the front cover and plug the printer back in.
7. If the steps above have not solved the problem, repeat them.
8. If the error still occurs after repeating all the steps, replace the cartridges. If you have already replaced the cartridges once without solving the problem, click the link below to contact HP. The printer may need to be serviced.

Depending on what that 'gunk' is, will determine your best course of action. If it is food byproducts from the wash process and you've not cleaned out the filter, you should remove as much of that gunk with a dishtowel and warm water, then use white vinegar to break down any other leftover material. Rinse with clean warm water. Check the filter and clean it after each wash process to make sure you aren't restricting drain water from being pumped out. Once you've removed th emajority of that material, you could run a dishless wash cycle on the sanitary setting to clean out anything that remained... Hope this helps...
