Why does the spray become very weak after 3 months? Of course I have changed the batteries. It has become useless. What can I do to fix that?

Perhaps bacteria buildup. Suggest hydrogen peroxide solution to run through it.

I have one. So far it hasn't done that to me. See if you can return or exchange it for something else.

I have not had this experience, but could the battery contacts be corroded? The directions do say to remove the batteries when not using, so that is what I do, since I only use it for traveling.

Mine has not weakened. Do you have a lot of calcium in your water or anything similar? The tip isn't very wide and you may have something built up in the tip or tubing.

Yea, I noticed the same thing. I got a unit in September and a month later in October I had to replace the battery. I thought that perhaps the original unit sat on the shelf for a while and that the battery was bad. Unfortunately the weather turned for the worse since October so I have not used it since and I do not know how this next battery is going to hold up.

I,m having the same problem with the trigger. A lot of time it won't spray and I take the solution tank out and put it back in and then it works. I had a smaller Bissell cleaner and loved it, but I'm not very happy with this one. I don't have the box that it came in. If I did I would send it back. Trying to decide if I want to get a different one.

My spray didn't work at first either. I just unscrewed the top, and then I put the bottom of the spraying component in a glass of water, and then after attempting to spritz the water it ultimately worked. After that I put it back into the bottle and everything worked fine.

The batteries may be worn out and should be replaced. Next, if this doesn't work, take a pin and stick it in the squirt jet to clear up any blockage. Next check the fluid level in the bottle. It may be empty.

join the club! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out and I never did. I cleaned all the hoses and the heater. I even replaced the pump, but it still does not spray. I had only used it twice and cleaned it well before storing.

Are you aure it needs new batteries ? One of our shakers is not working properly, or not at all,sometimes it looks like it needs batteries but my husband looked into it and we are just very unhappy with this Cuisinart appliance. I will not buy it again, I will use it as along as I can make it work sometimes. I wish I could send it back and get a new one, but I ordered it some time ago.

The disc inside the spray tip is probably cracked. And you can only buy the tips in a package of 4. If you still can, return the whole thing and get a refund. I have had mine for 1 year and it doesn't even work.

If the sprayer is not working, there may be a clog. We recommend vigorously shaking the bottle for at least 60 seconds to agitate the liquid inside. It is also recommended to soak the nozzle in hot water to break up any clogs. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242) if the issue persists.

This is a common problem with weak batteries. Replace with fresh batteries.

I've had the very same problem. After three months it has become so congested that the motor labors hard and then the unit stops working altogether. I've twice tried flushing it out with water through the top and bottom. A lot of black debris comes out, but it still doesn't work properly after cleaning. I had to return and get a different unit.

What have you tried? And, don't make yourself crazy. It might have a defect . I love mine. I put in my favorite oil 1/3 way full, pumped it up until I felt resistance and it sprayed just fine.

Try spraying it for a longer period of time. When I first spray it, it does that. Or try a different kind of oil.

I can tell you that this product wont put up any spray pattern for any length of time. When you first turn it on it works fine, but after a few minutes all you get is a light show. Oh and after a while that is non existent. my advice is not to buy it.

My experience is your battery is dead. Due to not keeping perfect fluid levels they defect. It happened twice. Then I threw the whole thing out and went to a perpetual battery system that is well worth the extra money in that there is no worry about maintaining the battery.

I have not had this problem, but I would suspect the batteries are weak and need to be replaced.

I am experiencing the same problem. I thought that the batteries died. I have not replaced them yet.
