Same Problem

-   My steam vac won't **** up water I've tried everything to make sure everything is on the right way, maybe I'm missing something a seal or something. -   ckwbarkens

-   Motor not performing normally, runs slow and sounds labored. Also puts out an odor that smells like electrical problem. I assume that the motor has burned out. Is it practical for an owner that is "handy" to replace a motor on the Steamvac F5857?-   wada

Is the lid for the tank locked on all the way round? The filter on the underside of this lid should have a 1/4 gap from the lid to the top of the filter. Is the duct in place, front of the tank. Any of these will cause the problem.
