Troubleshooting

There is no power.
• Plug the machine into proper outlets.
• Check the circuit breaker. Other devices should not run on the same circuit as the
extractor. Use a 20 amp outlet.
Pump does not work properly.
• Make sure solution line quick disconnects are properly connected.
• Check Solution tank. May be empty.
• Jets may be clogged. Remove jet and flush clean.
• Filters clogged. Remove filters, clean and flush with water.
• Heater may be partially blocked. Flush system with System Maintainer.
• Inspect the heater check valve. Replace if necessary.
• Check pump wire(s). Reconnect or replace when necessary.
• Check panel actuation switch. Replace if faulty.
• Worn pump motor brushes (if equipped). Replace pump motor.
• Refer to relevant in-depth troubleshooting information in "Technical Support" section
of Mytee website for specific pump type. http://www.mytee.com/support/.
Heater does not function.
• Check manual sensor on heater (reset by pressing button on sensor). Replace if
non-functional.
• Check automatic sensor. Check for continuity when cool. Replace if found faulty.
• Heating element may have failed. Replace. Check using ammeter when heater is
engaged independently.
• Reconnect heater wire, if disconnected.
• Refer to relevant in-depth troubleshooting information in "Technical Support" section
of Mytee website. http://www.mytee.com/support/.
Vacuum motor does not function properly.
• Check that all vacuum hoses are tightly connected.
• Close recovery tank drain valve completely.
• Hose/tool blockage or leakage. Repair or unblock the tool or hose.
• Secure the vacuum tank lid tightly.
• Grinding noise from blower indicates impeller failure from debris, dry vacuuming,
and over filling/foaming. Replace vacuum motor.
• Worn motor brushes. Replace vacuum motor.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO BRAND NEW MACHINES:
Pump system will not flow water.
• The system could be vapor locked, which results from activating the heater before
the pump. Release pent-up pressure by removing extractor outlet disconnect, or by
depressing the disconnect inner poppet valve using a dull plastic object (such as a
pen). Resume operation, using proper technique outlined beginning on page 6.
• Check outlet disconnect. Remove to test. Replace if necessary.
• Hanging heater check valve. Remove hose to heater check valve, and manually
manipulate the internal valve poppet ball with straightened paper clip. Replace hose
to test. Replace faulty check valve (B108).
Unit is tripping circuit breaker(s).
• Ensure that only a 20 amp circuit is being used.
• Use only a cord approved for the machine.
• Do not add any extension cords to those cords supplied for use with extractor.
• Faulty component may be drawing excessive amperage. Check each component
separately.
Faulty circuit breaker at site. Use another outlet.
