Rainbow shotting water out (by 2 users)

Is there a way I can get into this vacuum so I can see why it is shooting water out? I cannot remove the aerator peice inside that says it should be cleaner after each use. The screw seems frozen, I removed the 3 screws from the bottom and can't seem to see what is holding it together- can't get the bottom off. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem.

I just replaced the hepa filter in my eSeries and pretty sure I have all back together correctly, but now have water blowing out the back of the vacuum. (Other than dirty filter it has been working fine.)
Any suggestions?

Are you filling the water pan too full? Check that the separater spins on the shaft freely too.

My 4 year old tipped my e series on its side while it was turned off and had water in it, and now it is shooting water from the back filter. I bought a new filter, but it hasn't gotten here yet. I am affraid to turn it on even when I get the filter because there might be water in the motor. The seperater is not cracked and seems to be fine, so is it possible for the water to get to the motor by tipping it over? If so is there a way to remove the water.
