I have a rug doctor but i am having a problem with it every time i try to use it the power reset button pops up there are no visible faults anyone have an idea why this is happening

[Ian Gourlay]

You could try by passing reset button obviously this removes a safety feature, then you will find out if everything still runs ok .

I have the perfect solution for you mate:










If you're a domestic user, look somewhere like ncca.co.uk or tacca.co.uk and find a decent cleaner in your area

If you're a "professional" (in the loose sense of the word), shame on you and get some proper gear

[AshWhite]

oh dear it has started

 

[Garyj]

Some good advice though.

So far we have "Bypass the reset button" thus risking death, skip it as they are crap, look for a professional cleaner and some advice on rewiring.

I would  take it to a local electrician and get the wiring looked at and get a safety certificate for it while you are at it.

Then put it in the skip.

oh good it has started

Why not go to your local supermarket hire one of their machines, then swap them over, give them the duff one back, sure they won't notice

Please don't tell us you use it to supposedly professionally clean carpets.  
If so, press the reset button and buy some professional equipment.

[Carlos Gatewood]

no i don't use it to professionally clean carpets its just sat in shed so thought i might as well fix it and sell it.

[PaulKing]

probably the coil on the solenoid that controls the water valve they are the prime suspect, disconnect it and see if the button doesn't pop out.

[TN Cleaning Services Ltd]

Would cost you more to fix it than its worth.
Chuck it away and make some room in the shed.

Probably the only sensible post in this thread so far

That skip is more mobile than my van at the moment, it has no transmission

[Ian Gourlay]

Bring it inside for a few days , could be damp. Disregard my first advise if you are still alive? Your local repair man could tell you what is wrong. Like all things you have to pay unless you have a mate.

What with the machine and now the van you must be pulling your hair out.

Cheers

[Jim_77]

No point stressing Doug, although I have lost a couple of jobs that were urgent and lost a couple of quotes because I couldn't get to them in time.

I should have all my paperwork bang up to date and a tidy desk but you know what, it's been nice weather here to go for long walks with the dogs instead

What need Jim is a RD and a car - problem solved
