How to repair a steam mop.
In this video we are taking apart a steam mop which refuses to turn on. We will go through how to check the two different fuses - one electrical and one thermal and how to replace them and hopefully bring our steam mop back to life.

    I was able to repair my steam mop after watching your video by replacing the thermal fuse. Very valuable video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    This tutorial fixed my steam mop! Spent $1.50 on a new thermal fuse and we are good to go.

    I loved your video. Thanks for your time and sharing. To respond to a viewer’s question I am providing solutions as follows: If the pump runs, heater works fine but no steam coming from the mop head nozzle, from my experience, here are the solutions: 1) Symptom-1: I assume that you are able to hear the pump running. Do you see any water dripping while the pump is running? If yes, most likely it is building back pressure in the tube that has the blow-off valve on the line that connects the pump to the bottom of the heater due to clogging of the check valve on the inlet to the heater. 2) Symptom-2 If no water is dripping while the pump is running with water in the Reservoir indicates that water is not flowing out of the pump to supply to the heater. This is most probably due to lack is priming in the tube from the reservoir to the pump inlet. That means a portion of the line feeding water to the pump (not the heater) is having air bubbles in it. It happened to my mop model S3601. SOLUTION: Symptom-1 Clogged Inlet to Heater - SOLUTION - Unclog the inlet valve to the heater. This happened to me. People use vinegar to unclog. Vinegar did not work for me because my mop is 5-7 years old and was completely rusted. I had to drill through the inlet check valve, because I could not remove the rusted screws from the heater. Please do not drill, very risky, it must be the last resort. If your mop is not very old, vinegar should work (please see KZread videos on how to use vinegar if you need to. Many viewers replied that it worked for them.) Symptom-2 Lack of Priming SOLUTION - Please do the following: a) Always use DISTILLED WATER not tap water, not RO water, not Spring or mineral water to fill the reservoir. A gallon of distilled water costs about $1.20 which lasts about 10 times; available in grocery stores, Wal-mart, Pharmacy like Walgreens, Target store etc. b) Run the unit in SCRUB mode for 30 to 60 sec so that the pump will try to suck the water from the reservoir. c) Unplug the unit from the power source. Open the reservoir cap and pressurize the water tank/reservoir by blowing air into it the way we fill air into a balloon. I put my mouth on the reservoir filling area and blew air like we blow a trumpet or couch. Just for 3-5 seconds of blowing should push the water in the inlet tube to the pump thereby pushing the air out as in bleeding. d) Close the reservoir cap loosely, connect the unit to the power outlet and turn the unit on and set to SCRUB mode. In a minute or so, if you hear some hissing sound and no water dripping, then you are successful. If you did not hear hissing sound (which is caused when water fills the hot heater) while the pump is running within 1 or 2 minutes, open the cap of the reservoir and blow some more air without letting any air out while blowing. The purpose of blowing air is to pressurize the water inside the reservoir which will push the reservoir water into the inlet tube of the pump. After that there is no need hold the air in the reservoir under pressure. Pressuring was needed just for the initial push of water into the inlet tube of the pump to assist in priming. Then close the cap of the reservoir. You should hear the hissing sound in a minute or so. If you did not hear any hissing sound, hold the mop almost horizontal while the pump is running which should help in priming the pump. I have gone through both the solutions and my mop is running without any problem for last 5 - 7 weekends. NOTE: Empty the water after use before storing. I actually run the pump till the last drop in the reservoir. The purpose of doing this is to remove any water staying stagnant in the inlet line to heater which is the source for chemical reaction to clog the inlet. Please use DISTILLED WATER only to prevent clogging in the first place. This S3601 model is self priming. Only first time I had to help in priming. The second time I just held the mop a bit horizontal as in moping under the bed. There after there was no priming issue for last several weekends. PLEASE DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, if you feel comfortable.

    Have a similar situation with Oreck 100 Steam-it. Replaced the thermal fuse but steam mop only ran for about 4 minutes before it blew again. Must be the thermostat allowing it to overheat. Heating element is good. Package of 5 fuses took about 3 weeks to get here from China via amazon.ca. Hope thermostat is quicker!

    Hey Shaun, I don't remember which fuse I ended up using but I think I mentioned it in the video. You should be able to find them on eBay pretty cheap, you just need to match the temperature rating

    Bonjour le mien le courant passe mais la vapeur ne marche pas j'ai vue votre vidéo, bien expliqué mais moi je ne saurai faire comme vous donc il me faut voir un spécialiste pour ça. Pouvez vous me donner le nom de celui qui saurait réparer ce genre de balais a vapeur et merci

    por que nadie pregunta por que nadie comenta sera que el covid se llevo a todos justo yo veo este video porque quiero usar este sistema para esterilizar superficies de tela es decir ropas, ok ya tengo la idea ahora a producirlo en serie y con capacidades de presion realmente esterilizantes
