We just replaced our Scrubbing bubbles automatic shower cleaner. We put brand new batteries in the unit. Compartment is dry. When we push the start button, it beeps at us and starts to spay for not even a full second and stops. then it will not "go" again unless we take the batteries out and start all over again....and then at that it runs for less than a second and stops. Our first unit worked for a couple of years (with replacing the batteries) But this new one is giving us fits. Should we return the unit or is there a quick fix?

The battery compartment contacts are probably rusted out.
I got rid of ours. We use the spray can now.

I find vinegar works very well for that.

Use some crazy glue in the button. Try to keep it off the spring when gluing the button back to the metal part of the switch.

Remove the Phillips head screw on the top of the pump unit. Then remove the top. Under that are two more screws. Remove these screws and lift the lid to open the battery compartment.

Hi Barb,
It sounds like you have rust buildup in your iron.

I would try cleaning it inside with a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and baking soda. Put the hot water and vinegar mix in first then add the baking soda. The bubbles do the work (scrubbing bubbles...). Then, rinse thoroughly.

Then, never put your iron away until completely dry inside. Let it heat until you're pretty sure it is dry. If you don't, the rust will come back real quickly.

Hope this helps. If you appreciate my response, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

Plexus is a very good cleaner and polisher of glass.

Try using a pencil eraser on each battery contact. That usually fixes it.

Check the battery terminals for corrosion, and if possible spray the terminals with some switch/contact cleaner spray... the other problem maybe a bad solder connection on the adaptor socket, not allowing connection from the batteries to the unit.

First, try the Lincoln dealer. They have chemicals specific to your material used on your car.

Second, I have used "Scrubbing Bubbles" shower cleaner on a wide variety of autos and plastic handled tools with good success.

I just experienced the same problem for the third time. Call J&J Customer Care 1-800-558-5252. Select option 3.

Explain your problem and they will send you a coupon for a new Scrubbing Bubbles Starter Kit with a full bottle of solution in 7 to 10 business days. I would not waste my time to take the old apart, just call and get a NEW ONE.
