Good, slow, thorough instruction. Notes and pictures when taking apart a must. Thanks.

I have this exact problem also, August, 2023! Im having trouble even getting the rug dr disassembled. I'm no stranger to repairs and have recently rebuilt a Shark and dyson vacuums and several trimmers and mowers this summer. I think I am being too gentle with my effort. but did break a tang off the spray boost guide while hitting the unit with a rubber hammer. Is is safe to pry on the joints with a stiff putty knife. Even left it 90 degree sun for a while trying to coak it apart! Yes all screws are removed! Thanks from Kentucky!

Yes, I found disassembly a real pain. I used a rubber mallet and a couple size screwdrivers. Sometimes you can separated two seams to see what is holding you up. There may be a tang or pressure point that needs relieved. Then proceed with caution. Good luck

As a side note, it is important to avoid letting the pump "freeze" up between long periods of none-use and also avoid having to disassemble the machine. Stabil makes a product for pressure washers that comes in a can with a garden hose male fitting that adapts to a pressure washer pump intake. You spray a few seconds and it forces the water out, replacing it with a combination of anti-freeze and lubricant. When you are done with rug cleaner, remove water tank, turn on "tool" to remove water to the pump, turn off, decant some Stabil fluid in the hole that the water tank feeds and turn on the pump "tool" until you see the foam lubricant flow in the "tool" hose. You are good to go.

Thanks Joe. See the comment I just applied to the video to learn how to keep the pump from sticking in the future.

Hi thank you for the video this helped but I have another issue, the handheld tool works but I am not getting spray on the main machine, I have checked and the ports are not clogged. I am guessing that the solenoid that switches pressure from the tool to the main body is stuck. The one I have on the machine is black and has 3 ports, one going through the solenoid and exiting out the top. I have seen solenoids on eBay for the dcc1 but they are blue and the 3rd water port goes straight out the bottom vs though the solenoid. Will that solenoid work?

I'm not sure without researching the matter. You could try removing the 3 hoses and loosen the solenoid to soak it some white vinegar for overnight. Then, power the machine the next day and see or feel if the solenoid clicks when you flip the switch. If it does, reattach the hoses and feed some water to verify otherwise, you may need to replace.
