Peculiarities

Despite the large number of positive reviews about Thomas vacuum cleaners, the device has classic breakdowns associated with the pump, the power button, splashing water and wear of the porous gasket.
Every home craftsman should definitely know what these faults are associated with and how to fix them correctly.
Possible malfunctions and their elimination
Repair of the pump on the Twin TT model
If liquid does not get to the sprayer in the vacuum cleaner, and the pump is turned on, then this indicates that the equipment is faulty. If water leaks under the apparatus, then the malfunction is associated with the water pump.... In this case, it is recommended to check the connection of the button that supplies water and the pump. This is done to check the contact between these parts of the vacuum cleaner.
Power button does not work
If it does not turn on, the main reason for this may be the power button. This is the simplest problem that can be dealt with quickly and easily. It can be repaired on the unit even at home. There are various repair methods, but the simplest and time-tested is only one.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- it is necessary to unscrew all the screws on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner;
- remove the case, you can leave the wires (if you disconnect, then it is better to mark each post in order to understand which and where, for which they are going);
- unscrew the self-tapping screw on one side, which fixes the board under the power button, on the other hand, you need to remove the clip, which is located on the pin;
- it is necessary to find a button that interacts with the toggle switch for turning on the unit;
- with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol, you need to wipe the surface around the black button, and then press it twenty times;
- tighten the screws back;
- it is important to pay attention to such an element as the rubber gaskets that crimp the pump so that they do not move or fall.
After such manipulations, the button should work.
Sprays water
It may happen that during dry cleaning, the unit starts spraying water from the dirty water compartment. In this case, water can be poured at the "rate", the filters remain clean.
There are several ways to get out of the situation.
- Install new seals and gaskets.
- A plug inserted into a container of water is loose or cracked.
- Replace filters. Diagnose the aquafilter in order not to break the motor of the unit, into which, if the filter is faulty, water will enter.
Replacing the porous gasket
The porous filter retains large particles of dust and dirt that have passed through other filters.It is located in the waste water tank under the Aquafilter part. This is a part through which dirty water enters. Replacing it can be done quite easily:
- open the housing cover;
- remove the "Aquafilter" part with a porous filter;
- pull out this filter and replace it with a new one;
- install everything in the device.
Now you can actively use the technique.
In order for "Aquafilter" with all its components to serve for a long time, it must be washed once a month.
Poor dust suction
If during cleaning the vacuum cleaner does not suck in dust or does it badly, then it is necessary to find out the reason. It can be one of the following:
- clogged filter - it must be rinsed under the tap;
- filter replacement required, since the old one has fallen into disrepair (they must be changed once a year);
- check the brush - if it is broken, then the absorption process is also disrupted;
- cracked hose - then the power of the device will also drop, it will be difficult to suck in.
Works loudly
To begin with, all vacuum cleaners are loud enough. This is due to the work of a powerful engine, which, due to its speed, sucks in liquid.
If an abnormal loud sound appears, then it is necessary to carry out diagnostics. The reason for such a breakdown may be the lack of water in a special box, even if you carry out dry cleaning.
The solution to the problem is very simple - you need to pour some water. As a rule, the sound returns to normal.
Dust may have clogged, for example, on the grilles, so an abnormal noise occurs in an enclosed space due to the fact that the fan has difficulty driving air.
Throws dust out
In this case, there can be only one problem - it is necessary to check the suction system for its tightness: check the dust collector, hose. The formation of a gap is possible, which affects the normal operation of the equipment.
