Why is the Windsor SCH172 not picking up water?
- M
  Mathew RileyAug 8, 2025
  The Windsor Floor Machine may not be picking up water due to several reasons. Debris might be caught on the squeegee, or the squeegee blades could be worn. The vacuum hose could be clogged, disconnected from the squeegee or recovery tank, or damaged. The vacuum motor inlet screen might be dirty, or the recovery tank isn't sealed properly. Also, excessive foam in the recovery tank can cause this issue. Check these components and conditions to restore proper water pick-up.

What to do if there is little or no solution flow on my Windsor SCH172 Floor Machine?

  If your Windsor Floor Machine has little or no solution flow, the solution tank might be empty, so you should fill it. The solution flow may be turned off or set too low, so you should turn it on or increase the flow setting. The solution strainer could be plugged, so you should clean it. The solution hoses might be obstructed, so you should clear any obstructions from the hose. Finally, the solution solenoid valve may be obstructed or stuck, so you should clean or replace it.

  If the vacuum motor on your Windsor Floor Machine isn't running or is running slowly, the recovery tank might be full, so you should drain it. Also, the circuit breaker might have tripped, so you should reset it. There could be a loose connection, so you should check the motor wires and connections. A faulty vacuum contractor could also be the cause, so you should replace the contactor. Lastly, the vacuum motor brushes might be worn, so you should replace the brushes and check the commutator.

  To improve the scrubbing performance of your Windsor Floor Machine, start by checking for debris caught in the scrub brush and remove it. If the brush or pad is worn, replace it. Ensure you are using the proper detergent, brush, or pad for your application. Increase the scrub brush down pressure if it's set too low. Finally, make sure the batteries are fully charged.

  If your Windsor Floor Machine has no power, first check all battery cable connections to ensure the battery isn't disconnected. Then, verify that the emergency shut-off is not activated and reset it if necessary. Clean any corrosion from the battery connections. A faulty main contactor or power switch could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the contactor or switch.

Why does my Windsor Floor Machine have little or no propel?
- B
  Betty FordSep 3, 2025
  If your Windsor Floor Machine has little or no propel, it could be due to a low battery charge, so you should charge the batteries. If the machine was turned on with the directional control button(s) not in neutral, allow the control button to return to neutral and then restart. The controller might have overheated, so allow a cool down period. Also, check for a loose connection in the motor wires and connection.
