Replacement Circlip for Float Switch (Vertical) — Ashbys Enforcer, Ninja & Sensei
The Replacement Circlip for Float Switch (Vertical) is a genuine Ashbys spare part designed for the Enforcer, Ninja and Sensei carpet cleaning machines. It secures the vertical float switch in place and ensures reliable water level detection inside the solution tank.
Why This Part Is Often Needed
This circlip is frequently required when customers find the float from their vertical float switch floating loose inside the solution tank. This usually happens when the float switch has been knocked during emptying.
The most common cause is emptying the machine incorrectly by sucking water out of the clean water tank using the vacuum hose. This method risks damaging both the float switch and the vacuum motors. The correct method is to use the Pump Out Hose, which safely removes water without disturbing internal components.
How to Refit the Float Correctly
If you still have the float, this replacement circlip allows you to refit it securely to the float switch. To confirm the correct orientation of the float:
- Add enough clean water to the solution tank to cover the float switch.
- Turn on the heater.
- Place the float back onto the float switch and fit the circlip.
- Push the float down gently.
If the heater switches off when the float is pushed down, the float is fitted the correct way round. If not, remove the float, reverse its direction and test again.
