Unplug it from the wall, plug it back after 20 secs. It probably needs filter cleaned. If you found the manual it tells you how to clean filter or lookup brondell.com. Does it work? If not check water intake for blocks.

I had the same problem and got mine working again yesterday after I tried an idea I found in an internet search. I unplugged the unit and cleaned the top of the unit with glass cleaner. Wait for it to completely dry and then plug it back in and give it a try.

Hi Jay,Mine works for as long as it's plugged in- I do sometimes unplug it to move it to another plug to do the next room, but it's never shut off on me. Thanks, REN- I do clean mine after every use so maybe that's why?

just unscrew the mesh and hand wash it. to clean the unit just wipe it down with a damp cloth.

Try scrubbing it with steel wool or a pumice stick. I use them as my final effort for cleaning things. If they don't work, return it or throw it away.

Sorry i can't help with this. Did you take it completely apart when cleaning it?

Mark, if its still within the warranty period return it for a full refund and don't order another one. I used mine very sparingly (10 times max) in my garage and then it suddenly stopped working. The sad thing for me is I have no recourse but to make it into a flower pot or throw it in the trash. Not much help but these are your options.P.O. in San Antonio

I had the same problem with a different unit and replaced it with this. Have you run the cleaning sheets through it? I would suggest that and as the other response suggested, try to get it to reset itself.

I don't know what they meant by disconnected. Mine has never been unplugged in over a year. I occasional gently dust it. It doesn't really get very dusty.

Mine still works fine. Maybe it has dirt in e switch. I would try a good cleaning around the switch and see if you can free it up.

You can clean it with a mild bleach and water solution. Wear gloves when doing so. Once the mildew get's out of control, you will just have to replace the unit.

Unplug unit and allow it to cool to room temperature before very carefully and gently wiping all inner surfaces with a soft cloth (do not use paper towels, as paper residue can cause shorting of heating elements), moistened with hot water and wrung out. Repeat until all food residue is removed. Allow to dry, and wipe carefully with dry cloth to remove any residue.

Does anybody have the instructions on how to clean this unit? I lost the box with the instructions in it... Thanks in advance

I have only used this unit to extract oil and tranny fuel, as far as cleaning I just used the vacuum to clean it. What ever residue that was left in the tube I just left it. My best guess would be to used a dishsoap water solution such as Dawn. Run it thourgh a couple of times, then let it dry. By the way I love this thing.
