To access the hose on a Vax Platinum PowerMax ECB1SPV1 and check for blockages:
1. Ensure the machine is switched off and unplugged. 2. Locate the hose connector port cover and make sure it is closed properly. 3. Open the hose connector port cover and detach the hose. 4. Visually inspect the hose for blockages and remove any debris. 5. Reattach the hose securely and close the connector port cover. 6. Test the machine to ensure proper suction and water flow.
If the issue persists, check the filter screen in the dirty water tank for dirt or debris and clean it.
