H20 Mop Is Tripping the Breaker?

I have had a H2O mop x5 for just over a year and used it successfully several times. Today, however, I filled it with water and switched it on and it tripped the electric. I tried it later and the same thing happened. Is it a quick fix or should I buy a new one?

I am not familiar with this type of mop. Does it heat the water? I'm not sure why it should trip your breaker. Have you tried plugging it in to a different outlet? My first guess is that it is the breaker that is faulty, and that you have a heavier load on that breaker today than you have had in the past. Have you something else plugged in on that circuit that you haven't had previously -- a microwave, a coffee maker, for instance? If the mop works on another outlet, then there is nothing the matter with the mop. If it trips every breaker, then it likely is defective.

I have had exactly the same fault (must be built into the design!). I have tried it on several different sockets and it trips the breaker each time. It doesn't come on so I suspect the motor is shorting somewhere. The appliance is not cheap and I haven't used it that much over the year and suspect it's just out of warranty.

Conversely, I have a wallpaper steamer I've used for years without trouble, I think I'll switch to using that!

I had the same machine when it first came out lasted me 5/6 years then the tank got burnt. Brought the red one lasted me a year or so, so I brought this lasted me 2 years. You are right they are not cheap to purchase costs a lot

Same here. Took it apart & found water tank in very bad shape & leaking onto electrics. Edge seal of cover not a good design & cracked in places where the clear plastic lip seal had disintegrated

same thing happens to me. Trips the circuit breaker every time I plug this appliance into the wall. No other appliance does this.

From what ive found out online so many people have had the same exact problem with the Haan fs20 mops, obviously Haan fs 20 steamer mops are defective made junk. I bought mine new , they are not cheap, only used it twice and it's now tripping the breaker every time.
