Sounds like an unwanted ingress of water into the motor assembly. Not a lot can be done without stripping the machine down and taking a look at any damage.

Question edited for clarity. No Gary It's not the carpet. The brush bar bearing ends are clogged up with hair and stuff. The brush wasn't turning properly and burnt the belt out. You put another one in and because the brush bar was still clogged and not turning freely, it burned out the new belt. Turn the machine over and try to turn the brush bar with your fingers. It is tight isn't it? Remove it and clean it. It should spin freely. I do my Dyson every 6 months. Video in the link. https://www.google.com/search?q=vax+carpet+cleaner+cleaning+brushes ..

Hi Len, it's Jack at Dyson. The cyclone pack on your DC14 should never be washed, flushed with water or submerged. Any residual water left within the assembly could cause permanent damage to your vacuum not covered under warranty. It could also contribute to an unpleasant odour from your machine in use. To clean the clear bin and shroud, you can remove the clear bin from the cyclone pack using the catch on the rear of the cyclone pack, as shown below. A soft brush or dry cloth can then be used to remove any clinging fluff or debris from the shroud. Gently tapping the cyclone pack will also help remove any clinging dust particles. You can also rinse or wipe the inside of the clear bin with a damp cloth to remove any dust particles, but make sure it's completely dry before reassembling. I hope this helps, but if you'd like any further guidance on maintaining your vacuum, please give our experts a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

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.

1. Check the drain system: Make sure that the drain valve or plug is fully closed and not leaking. If there is any water present, drain it completely before proceeding.
2. Reset the unit: Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again. This can sometimes reset any error messages and resolve the issue.
3. Check the water detection sensor: The unit may have a sensor that detects the presence of water in the tank. Look for the sensor and make sure it is clean and free of any obstructions. If there is any dirt or debris on the sensor, clean it gently with a soft cloth.
4. Contact customer support: If none of the above steps work, it's best to reach out to the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps for your particular unit and guide you through the process of resolving the issue.

Remember to refer to the user manual that came with your unit for specific instructions and recommendations.

No fix. You can order a replacement bag from your local oreck dealer.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks. They make about 12 models of 'Spot Scrubbers'. The problem will be that the nozzle is blocked with dried cleaning solution. You will need to remove it and soak it in hot water.

If the cap on your Living Solutions steam vac won't stay down, it could be due to a couple of reasons:

1. Incorrect positioning: Make sure the cap is properly aligned and seated on the unit. Check if there are any obstructions or debris preventing it from fitting securely. Clean the cap and the sealing surface if necessary.
2. Damaged or worn-out seal: The cap may not stay down if the seal inside is damaged or worn out. Inspect the seal for any signs of cracks, tears, or deterioration. If it's damaged, you may need to replace it. Contact the manufacturer or refer to the user manual for guidance on obtaining a replacement seal.
3. Defective cap or pressure release mechanism: It's possible that the cap or the pressure release mechanism itself is defective. If you've ruled out other causes and the issue persists, you might need to contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide troubleshooting steps or offer a replacement part if needed.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when working with steam cleaning devices.
