The pump won't go down or up. What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Follow the directions for cleaning that came with the pump, and go through the process twice. Good Luck! I've had the same problem after several years of use at which point the pump just seems to wear out.

Maybe over filled it? If there is too much pressure or oil in the sprayer, you won't be able to push the lid down. Hope that helps.

Same issue here... In the process of cleaning it out, I saw that the small plastic ring had fallen off and was at the bottom of the bottle. I reattached it and Viola! It started working again!

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

Be heartened - you are doing absolutely nothing wrong. The mechanism is not working. This happened to me, also. I returned it to Amazon using the prepaid postage label they sent me to print off and they replaced it. The second unit worked just as it was supposed to. Sorry I couldn' t give you a magic fix. But once you get one that DOES work correctly, it IS fabulous!

Hi Lorena,You may need a new pump. HHow long have you had it? A new pump can easily be attached to the bottom where it pulls out. Contact me at crizbooth@gmail.comThanks

Did you try adjusting the switch shut-off screw on the end of the pump. This adjusts the pressure the pump will maintain. My guess is it needs to be turned clockwise if this is the problem. There should be a manual with the unit that has troubleshooting guide.

I was just going to ask this question too because mine sticks so much now that it gets stuck in down position and sits there and it's hard to get it back up at all.I have found the other brand, Cuispro to have a better working pump, it's much smoother. I am going to try to see if some coconut oil will help this brand of pump but most likely I'll have to replace it.

Just lift the pump out and pour it from the top. A small funnel might help.

Yes, you press down and twist - sounds like you might have a non functioning pump which happens more then we like.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

My suggestion is to fill the pump pit with water, and see if it kicks on and off. Run a hose to the well and see it go thru the cycle about 3 times.

Make sure the water reservoir is pushed down ALL THE WAY. I had mine pushed down and the steamer worked, but the pump wasn't getting any water. When my boyfriend tried to push down the water reservoir harder, the machine started working! Good luck!

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

I assume your hydraulic drive pump is running out or low on fluid. Its needs to be checked for blockade.

If its hard to pump from the beginning, its not working properly. As pressure goes up it gets a little harder to pump.

I never bought it with the pump. When I do buy a product with a pump, sometimes I would have the same problem. Did you try pushing it down while turning it to the direction to open? I hope this helps. If you tried everything, then it could be the pump that is defective. I've had that happen too.

Apparently the valve (lever) is working correctly. The way the mechanism is designed it will not raise when you are sitting on it with all your weight when you operate the lever. Conversely it will not go down UNLESS you are sitting on it when you operate the lever. This may be your problem.

Try lowering the pump; if the pump is too close to the drain, it will not pump. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me further questions.

The gauge will not move until you get near he end. Keep pumping...takes 100-200 pumps if I remember right.
