Steam buggy water reservoir cap

You need to completely annihilate the plastic cap by cutting it off and destroying the remaining plastic to expose the stainless steel insert/plug. You can use either a pipe wrench or 11mm wrench to turn the insert counter-clockwise to unscrew. You will need to use some force to get the plug out since it's basically glued shut by lime deposits in your tap water. Do not move the slotted cap or else this will need to be adjusted so that all your water doesn't squirt out before turning to steam. Next time only use distilled water. Store with the cap off. Grease the inner and outer threads after every use and wipe it off completely before use so it doesn't mix with the steam and turn to vapor.

I emptied my Tristar A101 vacucum cleaner now the canister goes on but the power head won't turn on.

Check the connections of the wires going to the power nozzle and where it plugs into the canister

Tristar vacumm gets hot when using

Replace the motor filter and the exhaust filter if you have one. The cloth bag may also need replaced. Overheating usually meAn something is restricting the airflow.

I just replaced the cord in my Tristar vacuum. Power head spins but motor not running?

Seems you may have wired it to send power to the power head but not the motor.
