Questions and answers
why won't it spray after being stored
The Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub 500 may not spray after being stored due to several possible reasons:
1. Clogged Nozzle or Tubing – Cleaning solution residue may have dried and blocked the spray nozzle or internal tubing.
2. Air in the Pump or Lines – Air trapped in the system can prevent proper spraying. Running the cleaner for a few seconds may help prime the pump.
3. Empty or Improperly Seated Solution Tank – Ensure the solution tank has liquid and is correctly attached.
4. Faulty or Stuck Pump Mechanism – The internal pump may be stuck or malfunctioning due to long-term storage.
5. Blocked Filter or Valve – The filter or valve inside the tank may be blocked, preventing solution flow.
Cleaning the nozzle, checking for blockages, and ensuring proper assembly can help resolve the issue.
