this would be a bad turbine and is fairly simple to replace. first take all the screws from the base of your steam vac. then look toward the top under the dirty water tank there will be a black tube with 4 screws that also need to be removed. i believe after this you should be able to remove the hood assy. if not there may be one more screw on the hood, if so remove. at this point you should see the bad part.take 2 more screws and hoses from it and install the good part. hope this helps, this machine is fairly new to me also.
