Title: Extraction machine is making a fog horn sound
Post by: Paul Dunkley on August 27, 2014, 08:48:39 pm

My Extraction machine is making a fog horn sound checked both motors seem fine, works for a bit and noise happens. Any ideas what it could be?

Have you checked the wand for blockage? also vac pipe?

also the waste tank lid and inside of the machine i.e. check for any loose gaskets. Mines was doing that before I glued it down.

Sounds like the vacuum seal isn't perfect.  Mine does the same occasionally, but I find that a British Standard clout works well, along with a bit of quiet swearing and finger wagging.   :P
