If your Steamfast Steam Cleaner isn't heating up and the Steam Status Light isn't on, here's what to check: * Ensure the unit is plugged into a working electrical outlet. * Verify the ON/OFF button is pressed to turn the unit on, so the Steam Status Light illuminates. * Check your household circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter and reset it, or replace the fuse if needed. Contact a licensed electrician for assistance. * If none of these steps work, the unit may be damaged and need repair. Stop using it immediately, unplug it, and contact Consumer Service for help.
