Blue overheat light

Unless you\'ve been using distilled water in this unit, it will be collecting a sort of scale layer of calcium, lime, etc, on the interior walls of the steam chamber. When you clean the unit, with a cleaner of your choice, you will get a lot of this stuff off and out when you drain, but frequently there will be a few small chips that will decide to break loose after the main loosening and draining. Sometimes one or more of these errant chips of scale will find it\'s way to the heat channel of the unit and won\'t let the heat out, even though you just cleaned it. If you have or can find, one of the large paper clips, bend one of the tangs out straight and use it to sort of bore out the holes in the bottom, this will sometimes help tremendously. Occasionally, a second dousing of the same treatment is in order, to pick up those last little left over pieces.

Take it back. It's defective. Buy local !!!!!

Blue light comes on top of penguin gets hot but the water tank stays cold no steam

some motors have a reset button that has to be pushed to get power back to motor after over heat. it is ussually located near the rear of the motor

Try taking the twin filters outside - also take a dustpan brush and tap the filters gently on the bottom, then brush the dust away as it comes out. This can take quite some time, and you will find that LOTS of compacted dust will come out!

Water won't come outunit heats light stays blue not green

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop and why it maynot be getting steam to the head...

Here also is a link to get any of the Shark Manuals that you need.

it has a cutoff switch two stop it from over heating check it isent blocked up sumwhere in the fillters or the pipes

most vacuums have a heat resister in when they overheat they cut out, this is normally because they are full up, got a blockage or the filters need cleaning, suggestions are, clean filters, empty and check for blockage.

there is an overheat stat which turns motor off. possible cause is filters blocked or a blockage elsewhere - no air flow and the motor overheats
