Troubleshooting
Device is not spraying cleaning solution.
Check both the solution and water tanks to ensure they are filled above the minimum line. Verify that the tanks are correctly seated in the device. Inspect the spray nozzle for any blockages and clear if necessary.
Stain is not being fully removed after application.
Ensure you are using the correct Shark cleaning formulas. For tougher stains, allow the solution to sit on the stain for a slightly longer duration before suctioning, as directed in the user manual. Repeat the cleaning process if needed.
Device is not picking up dirty water effectively.
Check the dirty water tank to ensure it's not full. Make sure the suction nozzle is clean and free from any debris that could be blocking the airflow. Ensure a tight seal between the nozzle and the surface being cleaned.
Battery is not charging.
Verify that the charging cable is securely plugged into both the device and a working power outlet. Ensure there is no damage to the charging cable or port. Try using a different power outlet.
