FC5

I have sent my Karcher FC5 hard floor cleaner back to the manufacturer twice now but it still doesn't work. No fluid is coming through though I have wet the rollers as advised then run it for 20 mins but nothing, the clean water remains full the dirty tank empty.
I have used this machine maybe 5 times and am furious. A huge waste of money and effort for no results. I can't believe a firm with such an excellent reputation would fob you off with such a load of expensive trash. I am in my 70s and the machine is heavy but did a good job maybe 3 times so I persevered but am at my wits end now. What can I do?

Why is water not coming through?

The water flow is fine but the rollers don’t turn so the bearings are stuck

The rollers are turning perfectly, but they are NOT getting any of the cleaning solution, there must be a blockage in the tube from the bottle but I can’t work out
how to unblock the tube. The water gets out of the bottle without problem.

Just tried this for the first time and using on laminate floors (grey). It appears to clean but leaves roller streak lines. We have followed the manufactures recommendations about moistening the roller and using the correct product for our flooring and to no avail. Any advice?

Hi Nat
The vacuum part of this product only relates to it sucking up the water as it mops.

If you want to do that, you're best going for the Bissell Crosswave

Hi, I dont have laminated floors so I’m not sure, but cant see why not. Polished floor boards scratch more easily than laminate and I use it on those. It has two rollers which are soft and it leaves very little water behind, which is important on floor boards or they swell. So I’d say it should be fine on laminate.

Recently purchased karcher fc5 and happy with performance, problem though that the handle doesn't lock firmly into place and have to keep pushing back in. Could this be a fault with my product or is this a normal thing?

Hi! If you have the little sample solution bottle that came with it, just use 1-2 capfuls. Put water in first then solution (to stop it foaming up) Avoid going over the MAX line.
