Once you have verified your tank is properly filled, make sure it is sitting correctly in the unit. 2. If your unit continues not dispensing, add hot water to your clean water and solution tank. Run your unit with hot water for a couple of minutes to help remove any build-up gunk inside the nozzle distributor bar. 3. Lastly, remove the nozzle by pulling the latch to unlock it and check for any debris or clogs on the distributor bar.![nozzle-Jun-03-2024-03-13-56-7725-PM](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nozzle-Jun-03-2024-03-13-56-7725-PM.png?width=334&height=262&name=nozzle-Jun-03-2024-03-13-56-7725-PM.png) ---   - [Troubleshooting](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#5-gallon-wet-dry-vacuum) - [6 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#6-gallon-wet-dry-vacuum) - [8 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#8-gallon-wet-dry-vacuum) - [Air Purifier](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#air-purifier) - [Bagless Canister](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#bagless-canister) - [Broom Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#broom-vac) - [Cordless Stick Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#cordless-stick-vac) - [Dash Cyclonic](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#dash-cyclonic) - [Deep Clean Hand Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#deep-clean-hand-vacuum) - [Dog Walker Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#dog-walker-vacuum) - [Dynamite Bagged Canister](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#dynamite-bagged-canister) - [Endura Express](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#endura-express) - [Featherlite Bagged Upright](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#featherlite-bagged-upright) - [Full Size Carpet Cleaner](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#full-size-carpet-cleaner) - [Grab & Go Hand Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#grab-go-hand-vac) - [Handheld Steamer](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#handheld-steamer) - [Lidar Smart Vacuum](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#lidar-smart-vacuum) - [Lift & Go](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#lift-go) - [Multi Surface](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#multi-surface) - [Multi Surface Extended Reach](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#multi-surface-extended-reach) - [Multi Surface Rewind+](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#multi-surface-rewind) - [Multi Surface Total Pet](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#multi-surface-total-pet) - [Power Max Pet/ Endura Max](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#power-max-pet-endura-max) - [Power Swerve Pet](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#power-swerve-pet) - [Portable Spot Cleaner](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#portable-spot-cleaner) - [Power Express](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#power-express) - [Power Stick Lite](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#power-stick-lite) - [Scorpion/ Scorpion Plus](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#scorpion-scorpion-plus) - [Steam Mop](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#steam-mop) - [Swerve Upright](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#swerve-upright) - [Ultra Bagged Hand Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#ultra-bagged-hand-vac) - [Wet/Dry Hand Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#wet-dry-hand-vac) - [Whole Home Hand Vac](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/dirtdevil-library/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#whole-home-hand-vac) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledgelibrary.ttifloorcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dirt_Devil_Logo_Tail-RGB-Lo.jpg?width=49&height=41&name=Dirt_Devil_Logo_Tail-RGB-Lo.jpg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://dirtdevil.com/) Dirt Devil Help Center Copyright © 2026, TTI Floor Care North America
