I can't believe it, after trying everything I saw here and other videos, opening it back up and tapping the motor worked! 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you!!!

[@StevesRealWorld]

How long did that help for? I feel it's a very temporary fix. Maybe long enough to buy a replacement? Definitely get the warranty on these. Thank you for the comment!

[@LouieShowers]

Worked for me! This should be a recall. These aren't cheap. Most importantly, Thanks for sharing this!

[@StevesRealWorld]

Agree, I feel they obviously make them cheap to save money and so we have to repeat buy them as they break. Thank you for the comment!

[@janetteherrin]

Thanks for your video! My less than 1 year old Swiffer quit working. As a 73 YO female who has more time than money, I thought I'd give it a try. I disassembled it as you explained, and seeing no obvious problems, gave the motor a few whacks. Nothing. Gave it a few more from different angles, and got a slight whirling sound, then nothing. More whacks, more brief whirls. Finally, I sprayed a couple shots of WD40, gave it another couple whacks, and voila! It worked! I don't expect much from this cheap POS, but, for now, it's working. So, thank you for encouraging me by your video!

[@StevesRealWorld]

WOW, a year. I wish our would last 1/2 a year, but never seem to. But they are so convenient if you have dogs. Thank you for the comment!

[@runlikeachick]

Oh my gosh, if there’s one thing that’s great about KZbin and Internet and all that is these videos. It worked! Unfortunately, mine was so rusted but it’s not super old. Sprayed it with WD-40. Knocked off a little bit of rust. Tapped the motor with like you said and it worked. I can at least get my floor mopped before I have to get another one. Thank you so much.

[@StevesRealWorld]

I feel it's only a temp fix, is yours still working? I've seen our with rush in it also - what a sad design for sure!! Thank you for the comment!

[@MikeHobsonSOHC]

Hey man, I really appreciate this. I will continue to buy these because my wife likes them and, when working, saves our weekends. Now I know when to give up and replace.

[@StevesRealWorld]

SAME HERE, these are cheap as ...., But we have four dogs and these are good for cleaning up after them. If we get 6 months out of one, we are doing good - Thank you for the comment!

[@Cee-Dub]

After checking the batteries, the switch, and verifying with a multimeter that the motor contacts were receiving 3.22V whenever the switch was depressed, I’d all but given up on repairing this POS. Lo and behold, the third or fourth 2:49 walloping from my screwdriver handle, and the patient was revived! 😂 Thanks for the housing disassembly tips.

[@StevesRealWorld]

You got the POS part right, these are totally a disposable mop and not much more. BUT very handy with our 4 dogs sadly - Thank you for the comment!

[@Bradenwardle]

Had to wack the crap out of the motor on mine with a screw driver about 20 times but then it started working. Thanks!

[@krystal0115]

Thank you for sharing this! Mine is a newer model bought May 2024 (with a plastic cap on the motor). Tapping on the motor several times fixed the spraying issue

[@StevesRealWorld]

Glad it helped, but sadly it sometimes is only a temporary fix. I love these for cleaning up after our dogs, but HATE their cheap quality - Thank you for the comment!

[@williamwilson2624]

I agree. The best bet would be to just get the protection plan and take it back to Wal-Mart. Great video.

[@StevesRealWorld]

Yes! Thank you!

[@costineacsu9580]

Thanks for the tips!

[@StevesRealWorld]

No problem! Thank you for the comment!

[@dwandrawilliams6410]

Will try this. Will get the warranty next time

[@StevesRealWorld]

You and me both. I will always get the warranty for these, since they only last 1-6 months for us. Thank you for the comment!

[@kimberlywarren7422]

Omg I watched several videos and yours was the one that worked. You are the bomb!

[@StevesRealWorld]

Very glad this helped, but these are so frustrating in how cheap they are made! Thank you for the comment!

[@bg9419]

I have the same newer motor that's missing the slot the older ones had. On the bottom of this motor there are two slots where I was able to get some deoxit in there. After spraying, I knocked on the motor till it turned using the switch on the handle. I waited a second or two and sprayed again. Motor runs great now!

[@StevesRealWorld]

Oh did I use Deoxit in this video? I use it alot in my electronic repair, it's GREAT Stuff - Thank you for the tip! Thank you for the comment!

[@maryboham5069]

Good illustration! Thanks I will try it

[@StevesRealWorld]

Good Luck, these are built CHEAP, not made to last. If you get another , buy the warranty, I think we are on our 4th one now??? Thank you for the comment!

[@tonyfrank8918]

mine stopped pumping, would not come on. Some investigating found one of the 2 prongs that hold the cleaner solution bottle had poked a hole in the bottle and solution had everything drenched in cleaning liquid . let it dry out and filed down the prongs, because they continued to punch holes in 3 more bottles. Emailed the Proctor&Gamble explained the issue and they mailed me a $30.00 coupon.

[@StevesRealWorld]

We seem to go through alot of these, and once time those two prongs had RUSTED off, crazy!! It's a "WET" jet, Hmmm. Great advice you have here, the next time we will email them also!! Thank you for the comment!

[@olalaolala6146]

It worrrrkeeeeedddddd thank youuuuu 💚💚💚

[@StevesRealWorld]

You are welcomed, hope it last for a bit longer before needing replaced - Thank you for the comment!

[@Tinylatin30]

So where in the video you out the batteries back in??? Becuz when u tapped the motor. It worked! Never saw u out back the batter! 🤔

[@StevesRealWorld]

I'll have to re-watch, Batteries out at 0:36, there is more than one version of the battery pack just to confuse things. I didn't show putting the battery back in place - Thank you for the comment!

[@garyw7234]

Mines leaking cleaning solution and motor stopped working

[@Iamjawaynab]

Thank you, I gotta take mines apart now 😩

[@StevesRealWorld]

Good Luck, The next one I buy gets a warranty since they don't seem to last very long - Thank you for the comment!

[@MarkAlmightyTV]

Tapping on the motor with my scraper didn't get it done. It finally rose from the dead when I had the multimeter touching the motor contacts to see if it was getting juice, which, apparently, it was.

[@StevesRealWorld]

I actually had this happen to me once also, I was trying to figure out WHY did the multimeter get the wetjet working again? Sadly it was only a temporary fix for us. Thank you for the comment!

[@deniscarroll1936]

👍

[@StevesRealWorld]

Thank you for the comment!

[@jmomlive3566]

Mine also has a crack, its only 8 months old.

[@israelblaylock5527]

Taking it apart was not intuitive. Thanks for the help!

[@StevesRealWorld]

So TRUE, I had to use a pry tool to open this easier. I don't know why they made it so hard to open. Thank you for the comment!

[@pameladorsey2381]

Have bought four. First one lasted for years. Have purchased three in the last year - first one never worked. Last two lasted less than two weeks each. Tried every suggestion out there - they are junk!

[@StevesRealWorld]

They true are disposable junk. Somehow I imagine Swiffer makes thems so cheap so they can sell more as they break. Sadly with our four days they are great when they work - Thank you for the comment!

[@CrockpotQueen57]

What needs to happen is we stop buying them till swiffer comes up with a version that does rust out. I absolutely won't be buying another one. Nope ypu just throwing good money after bad makin the ceo richer.

[@StevesRealWorld]

YES, these are such a disposable item and the newer version seems to make even cheaper. Thank you for the comment!

[@pameladorsey2381]

Bought my last Swiffer - will try another brand. May not work any better but at least somebody different will get my money. Don't buy one of the off-brands from Amazon. Didn't last a few days.

[@ursulagreen8374]

Yes they are garbage. I had 2 for over 5 years, i thought they had a goid life and the motor was worn out. Bought a new one a month ago, and its already stopped working. I dis everything, took it apart, used it one time, and it stopoed again. I give up. Next time, buy the warranty.

[@gregtarris9057]

call swiffer they gave me a new one

[@StevesRealWorld]

Good tip - we will try that next time - which is probably soon sadly...

[@StevesRealWorld]

Sorry to hear that, BUT it's about the same as our experience. I feel they make them cheap so they break and then you will buy another one.. Thank you for the comment!

[@user-xc3wj5mz7l]

How thoughtful about the environment they are 🤬 at least the old one you can access the motor through that hole the new one is completely enclosed … I have washed floors Cinderella style my whole life amd thought I’d give myself break to use this piece … I’m beyond pissed lol thank you for your video
