Vax Carpet shampooer leaking

Question edited for clarity.

No Gary
It's not the carpet. The brush bar bearing ends are clogged up with hair and stuff. The brush wasn't turning properly and burnt the belt out. You put another one in and because the brush bar was still clogged and not turning freely, it burned out the new belt. Turn the machine over and try to turn the brush bar with your fingers. It is tight isn't it? Remove it and clean it. It should spin freely. I do my Dyson every 6 months. Video in the link.

If tank itself is leaking nothing you can do but replace it. Check it for cracks or leaks at sink. Make sure the round rubber seal it sets on is ok an not bent over or broken, also check the leaver to make sure it is not hing up an is working properly.

that's your problem the trigger stuck on all the time replace trigger.

Clean pressure spring with a toothbrush to remove dried shampoo that is not allowing valve to seat properly.

This is a common problem known by repairers. What happens is residue gets stuck in the seals. The next time you use the machine and press the trigger the seals stay open and water leaks continually. It was suggested that maybe after you finish using the machine you do a whole tank of plain water to rinse it out but I haven't had any luck with that. I am stuck with a machine that doesn't work.

instructions for vax carpet shampooer /vax 25-040

i have been using a vax v26 carpet cleaner and the washing water is leaking from the bottom then the solution will not come out has the pump given up?

if you unscrew a bit on the base that allows you to take off the brush, you will see a black plastic strip with very small holes in it. These are where your shampoo comes out of. Take a needle and re-pierce these holes and it should work again. I have just sorted mine out. good luck .
