Here we show how to replace a rug doctor pump. This is applicable for to all Rug doctor might pro, X3, and wide track.
Here we have a Rug doctor Machine which has a symptom of no spray. The machine turns and the motor runs. Suction appears to function. However, the machine does not spray. There are two things that commonly cause this. The first which is very easy fix is that inside this water reservoir container there is a metal screen that goes over the water intake.
The most common reason these do not spray is that the pump has failed. This is pretty normal. There's some other electrical issues up in the handle with switches that can cause that as well. But that is pretty rare and it is also a royal pain to fix. So we're going to do a pump replacement on this right now because that's the most likely issue if you have not spray.
Parts Required: Rug Doctor Pump - P4XXA, 12158, 12139

There are a couple different part numbers these pumps are known under including p4xxa, 12158, 12139. There is a theoretical difference in wattage and pressure between the different part numbers. I have not been able to perceive an actual difference in spray volume or velocity between the 50 and 60 watt pumps spray however so I've never really cared which one I use.

Excellent description. Everything he said was helpful, with no unnecessary filler. I appreciate the content! If I hadn't already purchased my pump I'd buy from you. Thanks!

@garymoody6415

Thanks for the video. I checked the metal screen before ordering a new pump. I cleaned the screen and it is working great!

Those are called OETIKER clips, and they are largely used for BEVERAGE systems. Possible Correction: Where you point and state "this is one of the pumps that has the diode inside the pump, that may be a klixon sensor it is a thermal fuse that will open if the pump gets too hot.

Thanks again Aiden! Great video. The replacement pump from Vacuums R Us works great. You weren’t kidding about the factory clamps being hard to get to and remove.

The pump is like a shaker siphon hose. There's a 1 way valve that is in a piston inside the coil - aka pump. The water stays trapped in this and the piston freezes from rust and corrosion. You can disassemble this, making note of what goes where and this piston can be pushed out, cleaned up with fine steel wool and so can the barrel inside. You can reassemble it and reconnect everything. I just did this and I found getting axel out of the way and get at everything. There is a Y/T Video of fixing a pump. No need to spend $90-$110 on a new pump!

Which direction does the pump flow?!

@craigrice3798

Appreciate the video. With no experience I was able to replace my pump and we are up and running as good as new. Great video and instruction. Anyone with this problem following this video WILL NOT be sorry!

@noobgamer754

Question is is there enough room in there to install a 135psi prochem pump from the prochem 5 star would be a doctor on steroids at that point.....

@joserodriguez724

I just wanted to say the water pump for my mighty pro fixed the problem, and your utube video instructions did help alot.

This shop is awesome. The pump failed on my Rug Doctor. This video explains exactly how to replace it, and I was able to order the replacement pump from VacuumsR-Us which was delivered in three days.👍

I wish I could just drive to you but I’m in AZ. Do you have a video on how to repair my rug doctor back hose. Not the ones on top, but the big thick hose (I think it’s a suction hose) that runs in the back?

@davidnunez2075

Is that pump for the carpet cleaning mode or for the Upholstery? I have a Wide Track and it has 2 pumps

@omarferraez8591

I have a rug doctor that trips the circuit breaker after it has run for about 15-20 min. I let it cool off, reset it after 10 min or so and then it runs again for another 15-20 min until circuit breaker trips again. Do you have any ideas? It’s a personal use machine. Don’t use it often. I am thinking that the vacuum motor may be pulling to many amps.

I wonder if you could help me I’ve an older rug doctor it’s about 30 years old I’ve got a problem that when in hand tool mode the pump is constantly running even though main switch for vacuum and pump is turned off, I’m in the UK I’ve tried to get a wiring diagram for it but can only find the USA and Canada one, I’ve contacted RugDoctor UK and they refuse to provide me with one when it works like it’s new out of the box except for that issue.
