Hi, it's Jeremy from Crucial Vacuum.

There are a few potential solutions you should try. One problem might be that the hole the steam comes out of is clogged. To remedy this, take a Q-tip and insert it into the steam hole. Be sure to use a pair of pliers to insert the Q-tip just incase steam does come out. You do not want to get burned to the ensuing steam. If clearing the steam hole does not work try creating a solution of water and vinegar to flush through your steam mop. The vinegar should be able to break-down any substances preventing your mop from building steam.

Attached is a video showing you how to try each of these solutions:

Your heater in the cleaner is either plugged or has quit working, make sure you are getting a good ground for the cleaner. you may want to check the ground pin on the cord and make sure it is not loose or broken.

SOURCE: Shark S3101 Steam Mop won't produce steam

You have to use distilled water in the steam mop. regular water clogs it up and causes it not to work.
