Removing Mold From Vinyl
1
Mix 1 gallon of warm water with 1 or 2 tablespoons of dish detergent in a bucket.
2
Dip a soft-bristled brush into the bucket and scrub away any mold from the vinyl surface, rinsing the brush in the bucket as needed.
3
Wipe the vinyl surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
4
Dry the vinyl with a towel. If possible, move the vinyl item to a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold growth in the future.
I suggest filling abucket with warm water and letting the decorations soak for about 15 minutes oruntil all of the hardened soap is softened. Then run them under warm water, individually, to get all of the soap outof the little nooks and crannies. If yoususpect there might still be some soap clinging to the decorations, leave themovernight in a bucket of warm water with some salt and rinse them individually againin the morning.
Apparently "LE" can mean a million different things - everything from "your drain motor is burned out" to "your drain filter is clogged" to "you used too much soap". I have found that usually it is the latter. I gather that what "LE" really means is that the drain flow rate is not high enough. Here's the quick fix that you hope will work, and that has always worked for me (knock on wood):
1. Get a 5-gallon bucket (or a little less)
2. Open the little door on the bottom left of the front (pry it open with a quarter, like it says in the owner's manual)
3. There is a drain hose with a plug in it. Pull out the plug and let the water drain into the bucket
4. There is a gross trap/filter in that same door. After draining, unscrew that filter, remove and clean out, then screw it back in place.
5. Replace the plug in the drain hose, and close the door back.
6. Try running the washer again, but don't add any soap. If it was the filter that was clogged, the washer will run to completion, everything is fixed, and you can start your free happy dance.
7. If it stops again and gives the "LE" again (likely), then drain the water into the bucket again, replace the plug, and start the washer at the beginning again without adding any soap. Usually by the third time I do this, the washer will run to completion and I can commence the free happy dance, followed by the gentle reminder to my lovely spouse not to use too much soap, that the washer actually cleans better with the right amount of soap, even on those extra dirty clothes.
Hope this helps!
Remove the hose and the fitting and clean with a toothpick or paperclip. The soap has a tendency to dry up in the fitting and prevent soap from being sucked into the tube. Be very careful when removing the fitting. On some units there is a small spring and ball bearing that are needed (Troybilt 2200)
Put the tube into a bucket with detergent that is recommended for your machine then put the wand into low pressure mode and if it has a valve where the hose connects turn the valve to the on position and pull trigger and watch to see if soap starts being drawn out of the soap bottle if it starts pulling the soap up continue to allow it to flow till you get your part soaked with soap, then let it set for 10 minutes then hit it with high pressure hose to wash off, when it is clean then put it on low pressure and pull hose out of bucket with soap and then allow the soap to be pulled out of tube and until there is no longer any soap coming out then store the hose for use later. some machines have a control valve at the end of the wand by turning the tip or pushing tip in or pulling it out some models requires you to use quick disconnect fan tips to lower pressure to use soap.
I believe this unit has built in chemical pumps, I cannot tell your installation without more information, but the tubing from the chemical buckets would probably go into, or connect to fittings in or on the control box, go to www.jacksonmsc.com , go to products tab, brochures, door type machines, and conserver xl, the picture shows pumps on the side of it. Let me know, thank you and Happy New Year
Brand new out of the box and the bucket didnt fit flush and the shampoo or water not spraying?
Mine was the same lift up the bucket and look at the rubber washer / seal take it off turn it inside out and put it back on.
Wahoo the busket fits the was washes , you have your carpet cleaner back
I assume you've changed the flat belt and it's working o.k. So, the next thing to check is the bucket seat. When the bucket is set down into the machine, the bucket valve is opened by the center pin on the receiver in the floor of the machine. You should put clean water into the bucket and install it. Wait a couple of seconds and remove it. Inspect the receiver and see if there is any water in it. If not, check the valve in the bucket and make sure that the rubber seal is in place. Sometimes they come off and stay stuck in the receiver. This will not allow the valve to open. If the seal is stuck in the receiver, remove it and re-install it on the bucket valve and test again.
By the way, if there is no shampoo in the shampoo tank, and the mixture dial is set anywhere but off, the machine will not spray. The pump will suck air through the empty tank and will not pick up water from the main tank.
If there is water in the receiver after you remove the bucket, then the problem is likely in the heater. The heater is located in the center of the handle and you must open the handle by removing the hose storage rack and then the top of the handle. There are two screws behind the hose holder that are at the back/bottom of the handle and are recessed into the handle. Once the handle is open, the heater is obvious. You will find two clear hoses attached and they often become plugged at the connections, just inside the heater. You can clear this with a 1/8" drill bit. Remove the hoses and take the bit in you hand and gently insert and rotate. Once cleared, replace the hoses and reassemble. I hope this helps. Be careful. These machines are a maze of hoses and valves and can be difficult to reassemble. Be very observant whenever taking one apart.
One more thing. I have seen instances where the screws that hold down the hood in the area of the tank have broken through the plastic and will lift enough that the tank will not sit down far enough to allow the valve to open. Check here, too.
I hope this helps.
