I have a living solutions steam vac model#zq012-a and the cap won't stay down so the pressure won't build up c
If the cap on your Living Solutions steam vac won't stay down, it could be due to a couple of reasons:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

How do you restore the slip ring contacts at the canister end of the Miele SES 125-3 hose?
The slip ring contacts at the canister end of the Miele SES 125-3 hose are responsible for transmitting electrical power to the motorized brush head. Over time, the slip ring contacts can become dirty or corroded, which can cause the brush head to stop working properly. Here are the steps you can follow to restore the slip ring contacts:
Unplug the hose from the vacuum cleaner and remove the brush head.
Look for the slip ring contacts inside the canister end of the hose. You may need to use a flashlight to get a good view.
Use a small brush or a cotton swab to gently clean the slip ring contacts. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can damage the contacts.
If the slip ring contacts are heavily corroded, you may need to use a mild abrasive to remove the corrosion. Be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for electrical contacts.
Once the contacts are clean, use a dry cloth to remove any excess cleaner or debris.
Reattach the brush head and plug the hose back into the vacuum cleaner
If the slip ring contacts are damaged beyond repair, you may need to replace the hose or take it to a professional for repair.

I have a DC19 and the head will not release from the wand. The release button seems stuck?
A completely white screen with white vertical lines on your Mitsubishi WD 77731 TV can be an indication of several possible issues. Here are some potential causes:
- Faulty T-Con board: The T-Con board is responsible for processing the image signal and distributing it to the screen. If the T-Con board is faulty, it can cause the white screen and vertical lines issue.
- Loose or damaged cable connections: Loose or damaged cable connections can interfere with the transmission of the image signal, causing the white screen and vertical lines issue.
- Failed backlight: The backlight of the TV illuminates the screen from behind. If the backlight has failed, it can cause the screen to appear white.
- Damaged LCD panel: The LCD panel is the display screen of the TV. If the panel is damaged, it can cause the white screen and vertical lines issue.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check the cable connections: Make sure that all cables connecting the TV to the source device (such as a cable box or gaming console) are properly connected and undamaged.
- Power cycle the TV: Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
- Check the T-Con board: If the T-Con board is faulty, it may need to be replaced. You can check for any visible signs of damage or contact a professional to diagnose and replace the board if needed.
- Check the backlight: If the backlight has failed, it may need to be replaced. You can shine a flashlight on the screen to see if there is any image visible, which would indicate a failed backlight.
- Contact a professional: If none of the above steps resolves the issue, you may need to contact a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

My wet dry vac model # L250 don't have suction. What do I do?
If the loss of suction occurred during wet vac,the float has blocked the discharge vent , and this can be cleared by unplugging vac and emptying tank. if you tip the unit over while running it will close exhaust vent and can be cleared by turning unit off and wait 1 minute and restart unit.The most common causes of loss of suction are dirty filters or a clog in the hose. To troubleshoot, remove the hose from the vacuum, place your hand at the opening of the tank inlet and turn the vac on.
If you feel suction at the inlet, the issue is with your hose or accessories. Check your hose and accessories for a clog. If no clogs are found, check the hose for a hole or crack - even a small crack can cause a loss of suction. If a crack or hole is found, replace the hose.
If you do not feel suction at the inlet, turn the vacuum off and unplug from the outlet. Follow the steps in the user manual that came with the vac to clean the filter. Check the filter for rips or tears; replace with a new filter if any are found. Empty the tank or if you are using a collection bag replace it if it's full. Make sure the filters are properly installed then secure the housing to the tank. Plug the cord into the outlet, turn the unit on and place your hand at the tank inlet to check for suction. If you still do not feel suction at the inlet, turn the vacuum off and unplug from the outlet. Check the tank for any cracks and make sure the drain cap, if applicable, is secured to the tank.

I have the candery hot dog roller and it turns on and heats up fine but when its gets hot the rollers stop they will not spin
If your Candery hot dog roller is heating up correctly but the rollers are not spinning, there may be a few different causes.
- Check to make sure that the rollers are properly lubricated. If they are dry or dirty, they may not be able to spin.
- Make sure that the rollers are not jammed with any food particles or debris. Clean the rollers thoroughly if necessary.
- Verify if the belt that connects the motor to the rollers is not broken or lose, if the belt is damaged or not properly adjusted, the rollers will not spin.
- Check that the gear that connects the motor to the rollers is not stripped. If the gear is stripped, the rollers will not be able to spin even if the motor is working.
- If none of the above steps work, the problem may be with the motor or control board, and the machine may need to be serviced by a professional technician.
I would recommend checking the user manual or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance, as they may have specific troubleshooting steps or solutions for your model.

I replaced the red canister latch on my DC41, but now it doesn't properly secure to the handle.
If the red canister latch on your DC41 is not properly securing to the handle after replacement, there may be a few possible causes.
- Misalignment of the latch: Make sure that the latch is properly aligned with the corresponding grooves or hooks on the handle. The latch may not securely lock into place if it is not properly aligned.
- Damaged or worn latch components: The latch components may be damaged or worn, preventing the latch from properly securing to the handle. Check the latch for any signs of damage or wear, and replace any damaged components as needed.
- Incorrect installation of the latch: It is possible that the latch was not properly installed. Double-check the installation instructions and make sure that all components were installed in the correct order and orientation.
If you have checked these possible causes and the issue still persists, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician for further assistance.
