Carpet Cleaner: Lavex Dual 2-Stage Cold Water Carpet Extractor - water not coming out

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 07:41:29 -0700

Hello! I am the Board president of a large condo building that boguht a Lavex Dual 2-Stage Cold Water Carpet Extractor (12 gallon, 100 PSI) about a year ago.

We just finally unpacked it (our old cleaner finally broke down) and set it up. Everything seemed to be in order, but the when I pull the handle to release water, a little bit of water dripped out and then nothing.

I'm worried we may be out of warranty since it's been over a year since purchase, though I'm trying to get in touch with manufacturer. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Or, is there any advice on where I could find someone locally that might be able to look at and diagnose this?

Thank you!

Carpet Cleaner: I need a special tool to get my shark vacuum apart

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:55:19 -0700

The fasteners look like an allen head with a pin in the middle. Looks like you would need an allen wrench with a tiny hole drilled in the middle of it. Any ideas what/where I could get a tool like this?

Simple bottom Question: How many average hours does it take for a Rug Doctor Unit to burn up or become not worth repairing. Anyone? Anyone?

I am a Home Depot Rental Associate. We have over 15+ units that we rent out. To give our customers the best possible unit after they are returned, checked and re-rented, I keep very close eye on the unit time of use for even rotation. Is there an average time line of hours for a RugDr unit from zero hours to end of use.
