You can't beat a george the best carpet cleaner I've ever had..

Sometimes when the pump still works, but no water is sprayed. This is almost certainly the brass end nozzle is crusted up and blocked.

I have never seen a george so clean! honestly my eyes got indigestion, i couldn't comprehend it, lol.

them pumps work in very cool ways, using the diode to create a half sine wave pulsing the electromagnet on with DC at half the duty cycle of the AC.

Lovely looking George love these early 2000's and late 90s George's with that style handle

Awesome job Sam 👍👍👍

Your diagnosis was amazing! This was such a pristine machine, looked like it had just been unboxed.

Nice work Sam! Saved him from a date worse than death!

That’s one beautiful George

Had a similar issue on my Karcher Puzzi (Same / similar Gotec pump) but it also fried the coil. The single diode doesn't do a full rectification of the AC so you get half wave (pulsed) DC going to the pump. A pulse of DC pulls the piston back to force the water out and draw another charge in behind it then when the pulse stops, the spring resets the piston to go again. This also runs the coil at 50% duty cycle so when the diode dies you sometimes end up with full AC going to the pump which runs the coil at 100% duty cycle and eventually burns it out. That's what happened to mine. Seems George's diode failed in a manner that didn't give the pump any power after an initial spike, saving the pump. To my untrained eye, the single diode seems like a designed failure point and it's a lot of voltage as current to be handle by a single, small, non-heatsinked diode. I reckon two in parallel would drastically increase the life of the diodes. Also the pitting on the piston could explain why it wouldn't self prime - it wouldn't have had a good enough seal on the cylinder bore to pump a vacuum to draw the water.

I have an old George but font that the 3 screws that hold the motor hosing on are seized... do you know how to fix this?

i got a brand new one from argos used it for the firsrt time and it cutted out and was very hot to touch, i've noticee there is a peice of foam on the air intake is that blocking the hoover?

hi there i bought my george a few years ago its an 04 model the blue bucket one. its never let me down until last week i got it out of the container and it made hell of a sound but worked then when i shut it off to refill and pressed the button it didn't work ( the pump works fine). i do have another george i bought for the hose which doesn't come on at all thats an 08 gve 2 model. (the owner said its the cable). should i just swap them out or is there a way i can trouble shoot the motor. thanks!

Hi I bought one about 5 years ago and took it apart to clean under the lid. Now I’ve put it back together there’s not much suction? The suction gets better when I loosen the screws around the lid! Please help!!

Actually from week 3 (January) 2000. The number after the year is the week.

Where can i buy the solution tube?

Question does the green thread section for the hose on the front come off and replaceable?

My one as well don't pump the water

I've got one but it's only 1000w yet it doesn't look like the really old ones new ones have 1250w I think.

I got one from the factory with that issue I believe, so I sent it back. What’s that part number? My current one just died an I think this may be the issue. When you flipped it on, was the pump barely audible? That’s what mine is doing now.

Do you know or have any ideas how to unblock the jets ?

which diode is that?

Isn't that from 3rd week of 2000?
