Hello, without more data it is complicated. The most normal thing is usually the tank gasket or some deteriorated or badly connected tube. Greetings
My dental irrigator is Oral b Braun Type 4715. It has a part called an air filter. I assume it is a filter. Can it be removed for cleaning? If so, how? And also, how is the valve removed from the bucket for cleaning? Thanks

Hello good morning, my irrigator has stopped working suddenly.
You plug it in and it won't turn on.
Hi Alexia. We can tell you little without knowing the type, model, etc. If it does not start or the engine has failed or the voltage does not reach it due to failure of the switch, adapter or battery. It is advisable to contact the seller if it is less than two years old and with the SAT if it has more. Luck
Hello. I have a waterpik for two months. The button on the handle began to jam until it got stuck. What I can do? Thanks.
Hello, I bought a waterpik ultra p100 irrigator and it seems strange to me that if I do not remove the valve from the tank, no water comes out of the hose to the nozzle to be able to use it. My question is, is it necessary to remove the valve from the water tank for it to work? Because if not, what seems strange to me is that I cannot remove the tank from the device to be able to fill it and place it again because the valve was removed so that later the water comes out and to be able to use it, because the water falls out of the tank when I don't have the valve on and if I put it on, then that's it, then the water doesn't come out through the hose to the nozzle.
Thank you
