I can not find foam stop to buy

Clean and check the vacuum motor for accumulated jam objects, dirt and dust. Use a small paint brush and if necessary apply some oil or grease in mechanical part. Be sure that the filter bag is clean also.Regularly clean it and you'll assure the vacuum will performed well.
Thanks for asking.

Most likely the hose pipe has nothing to do with the problem. Most likely is a loose connection and as time goes by the connection gets looser, which causes failure rate to increase. Once until is on, the power flowing through the loose connection helps keeps it connected. Open the unit and wiggle this and that until to can isolate the actual cause of the problem. Try not to shock yourself.

why dont you go too a hardware shop and ask if they have a water proof mastic filler may be able too repair it

how long have you had it? when did it just start having problems?

If you have not yet found a solution, then here are some steps to take.
1. The soap dispenser only works on low pressure!!!!!!! So you have to REMOVE the high pressure Sprayer so that all you use is the Trigger Gun without the Extender.
2. Pull out the thin Plastic Hose with the filter attached in the end, and insert into your container of detergent.
It will only splatter the detergent over the area you want to clean, so you will then need to REATTACH the SPRAYER into the hand gun to work with the soap to lather, clean and spray of till clean.
This seems to be the way the system works on this model......also known as K2.36M (AU) in Australia or (EU) in Europe on the Karcher.com.au site then Service then Manuals. or on the link below.
Hope this helps any of you who has misplaced their Owners Manual just like I did and had a great problem trying to find a link as Karcher doesn't recognize the Model No: as Winner 10 or 11.

Cheers, Luke

Owners Manual For Karcher DE4002 Steam Cleaner

check your vacuum at the pickup all the way thru the hose to the bag, you might be stopped up somewhere.

It might be a simple switch issue. I would take it to a vacuum repair shop, one with free estimates. This way you will know for sure. and it should not cost you much?
