VAX dual power carpet cleaner: (Innsworth GL3)

VAX dual power carpet cleaner: Bought this from eBay seller as reconditioned last October, Used on our carpets before Christmas and it worked well. About 3rd attempted use we didn’t fix the water container back properly. When turned on, it leaked and water got into the electrics and it tripped the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Decided to get a different model, anyway, so stored the old one in the garage and now being disposed of in garage clear-out for spares or repair. It might have dried out by now and work OK or need a gasket tightened or taking apart and cleaned – who knows!
