Could have blocked pipe work from the tank to the delivery nozzles underneath. Limescale and old detergent residue are favorites. If this model has a pump (if not it will use gravity to get the solution onto the carpet) make sure it has not failled, I have seen more than one Vax with a seized pump.
Please un-plug if stripping down!:plug:

Is there any web site where I can find details of stripping it down,,, I dont think this one has a pump..
thanksCan you please tell me if this is the right forum for carpet washers or should I be posting elsewhere thanks
Re: Vax Rapid water/shampoo does not come out when leaver pr
Yes, correct forum!
They are usually fairly obvious how to strip down, there should be screws underneath, or around the motor/tank housing (if Torx screws an old electrical screwdriver can sometimes work). Remove them and follow the clean water pipework back to the tank. The delivery nozzles underneath may be full of congealled detergent, a poke about with a tooth pick may help. All with the plug pulled of course! 8)
Failling that, taking it to your local vacuum repair shop may be the best idea I’m afraid, they shouldn’t be too expensive either! 😕
HTH,
