To remove the dirty water tank on a Regina Steam 7.0, follow these general steps:

1. Turn off the steam cleaner and unplug it from the power source for safety.
2. Locate the dirty water tank, which is usually at the back or bottom of the steam cleaner.
3. Check for any locking mechanisms or latches that secure the tank in place.
4. Release the locking mechanism or unlatch the tank to remove it from the steam cleaner.
5. Gently pull the tank out of its slot or compartment, being careful not to spill any dirty water.
6. Empty the dirty water from the tank into a sink or drain.
7. Rinse the tank with clean water to remove any remaining dirt or debris.
8. Once the tank is clean and dry, place it back into its slot or compartment in the steam cleaner.
9. Ensure the tank is securely locked or latched in place before using the steam cleaner again.

replace the switch that is more than likely the problem

Be sure to that the latches are connected to the water pan. The eSERIES and up will not turn on without the water pan latched. If that is not the issue, please call us and speak to a Rainbow Specialist.

Check the power button switch, it is often cause vacuum to shut off. Thus cutting current flow into the vacuum circuit. Also check the cord for intermittent connection. The cord is subjected to bent, twist and other abuse action while vacuum is in use.
Good luck.

It could also be due to the brush assembly channels being clogged. Remove the brush assembly and clean channels by running under warm tap water.
To clean the brush assembly/nozzle, turn cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet. Slide the two nozzle release latches outward. Remove the nozzle by pulling straight out. Rinse nozzle under running water. Remove debris from squeegee and wipe with a damp cloth. Using finger grips on the brush assembly, pull straight out. The brush assembly can be washed with a mild detergent and rinsed. Do not use pine or solvent-based detergents.
To replace nozzle, make sure latches are out. Align middle section of nozzle with opening on cleaner. While holding nozzle in place, slide latches inward to lock in place.

Make sure your solution tank is full and securely locked in position.

Lastly, if this fails, you can contact the Hoover Service Center by calling 1-800-944-9200 for an automated referral of authorized service outlet locations (U.S. only).

Take the head off the vacuum, look at back. You will see two metal latches, the latches hold the bottom of the head on. If the latches are stiff, you can use a small hammer to tap the in the right direction, don't go crazy. The bottom will swing away towards the front. The beater bar can then be pulled out and a new belt slipped on. Replace the beater bar, be sure to get the black ring at one end installed so it is line with the little light that tells you the bar is turning. Replace the metal bottom, if you have trouble getting it to seat check that you have the front side seated properly over the 'bumps' on the front of the head. Lock the clips back in. Turn the finger to catch & pick up the belt so you may place it back on the vacuum.

you have to be more spicific on the model but: if you take off the front nozzle by loosen the nozzle lock, make sure the name kirby is horizontal, loosen the latches at the back of the nozzle un hook the rugplate located at the bottom of the nozzle...take out the brush..... slip out the old belt...in with the new one. put back the rugplate, lock the latches. NOW turn the nozzleknob anticlockwise until it stops at where the 2 arrows align, put the nozzle back on the main machine and lock the nozzle lock underneath the light.then turn the knob ALL the way clockwise until arrows allign again....switch on machine ..make sure green lihgt on nozzle comes on....

it wouldnt be worth the trouble being so old..

Starting withh the brushroll,slip belt over brushroll.The brushroll will only go on one way.The caps on the ends of the brushroll are different sizes so it will only go on one way.Make sure the adjustment screws face outward toward the floor.Install the brush roll into the bracket.Install the bracket onto brushead,making sure the tabs on the bracket fit onto the tabs in the brushead.Turn brushead around,and latch the two latches on either side.Then turn the belt lifter to pick up the belt,looking thru the back opening.Raise the Kirby to it's highest setting.Re-install the brushead,and lock it down tight,but not too tight.Then,turn the belt lifter knob all the way clockwise to drop the belt onto shaft.

Sounds like a bad power switch or a broken wire in the line cord.
