Very little on this little known appliance. It make be the thermal overload fuse. Take it to a local repair shop or you could strip it down, identify the fuse and test it with a Digital Test Meter. https://www.google.com/search?q=Amy+HAAN+FS-20+steamer+will+not+turn+on ..

If your Haan steamer is not turning on, there could be various reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting procedures to assist you in identifying and maybe resolving the issue: Check the Power Source: Make sure the steamer is plugged into a working power source. Check if the outlet is operational by using another device or appliance. Inspect the Power Cord: Look for any visible damage, such as frayed or exposed wires, on the power cord. If there is any damage to the cord, do not use the steamer until it has been fixed or replaced. Safety Locks and Buttons: Some steamers feature safety locks or buttons that must be engaged before the unit will turn on. Check the user handbook for any special instructions regarding these safety measures. Water Reservoir: Ensure that the water reservoir is appropriately filled. Many steamers require water to generate steam, therefore they may not operate if the reservoir is empty or the water level is too low. Safety systems: Some steamers have safety systems that prohibit them from starting if specific requirements are not satisfied. For example, the steamer may need to reach a certain temperature before it can be used. Allow the steamer some time to attain the required temperature. Overheating Protection: If the steamer includes overheating protection, it will stop down briefly if it becomes too hot. Allow the steamer to cool before using it again. A malfunctioning power switch or electrical circuitry could be the source of the problem. If you've examined all of the external causes and the steamer still won't switch on, it may need to be inspected and repaired by an expert. I hope you can solve your problem.

1. Sweep, dust or dry mop daily.
2. Vacuum weekly.
3. Clean heavy-traffic areas with a damp mop twice a month.
4. Clean with recommended hardwood floor cleaner once a month.
5. Apply a fresh coat of finish every three to five years

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.

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.
