Why is my Nilfisk-Advance Scrubber floor not drying properly?
- D
  Daniel AlexanderAug 16, 2025
  If your Nilfisk-Advance Scrubber isn't drying the floor sufficiently, several factors could be at play. Ensure the recovery tank isn't full; if it is, empty it. Check the drain hose and squeegee connection, ensuring they are correctly connected. A blocked float ball filter can also cause this issue, so clean it and check its position. Inspect the squeegee for dirt or wear. Also, verify that the recovery tank cover is properly closed and the gasket isn't damaged, and that the bend tube is free from clogs. Finally, a dirty recovery tank can reduce suction, so clean it thoroughly.

Other potential causes include a brush motor contactor fault or worn carbon brushes, in which case you should contact after-sales service.
