After trying all of the other suggestions to get my Swiffer Wet Jet working again, i.e.: change batteries, make sure batteries are in properly with the door closed all the way, clean spray openings, clean off battery acid if batteries were corroded, etc., I watched a YouTube video. It said to take acetone based nail polish remover to the battery connectors inside the casing and let dry completely.

I followed all of the directions and the bottle came with the WetJet kit. I got it to click in, but it immediately pops back out. Is there any way to fix this?
You probably got a bad one. Return it, but also tell Swiffer. 1-866-411-1753
My swiffer Wet jet lights come on but motor will not, batteries are fine!
You could check for build up around the hole of the sprayer nozzle. Often cleaner can dry over the cover , making it not functional to use.
My Swiffer WetJet is not working! I just bought it and it appears the jets don't work! I don't see any solution coming out to clean! What can I do?
The solution is not passing through the nozzle and this means that the nozzle is not open so the solution can pass through it when you hit the button. Try using a pin to check the nozzle to make sure it is open so the liquids can pass through.
I just unboxed and put it together, it won't spray the solution. I changed the batteries and tried it before putting the solution back in and the motor seems to work, however when I put the solution in it doesn't clip and will fall out if I try to make the sweeping motion.
I can't seem to get the solution to click into place. I of course can't find the receipt to return it. Any ideas?You can try this:
Take acetone based nail polish remover to the battery connectors inside the casing and let dry completely. Re-install the batteries.
I believe that i would try returning it even without a receipt. If you bought it on a debit or credit card maybe you can print out the store receipt where it shows payment and date. Even if there were other things on the receipt the stores can look up that date and find your receipt with item listed. I have done this before with Walmart and they honored it.
There is a button at the base of where the water fits. Press on it when you drop the bottle in. Youll hear it go into place. That button also releases the bottle.
I'm trying to open up the battery case because my Swiffer WetJet isn't working, but the battery case won't open. I've taken out the screw and stuff, so I know that that's not the problem.
I'm trying my hardest without being forceful. I don't want to break it. What should I do to open it?I just received my Swifter Wet Jet through Amazon. It was brand new in the box. I put it together & it's not working. We tried everything, but nothing worked.
Now I am wondering if the handle all the way down has to be put in a certain way for it to work? I hate to return it if maybe I can get it to work. Any ideas?If it is new, return it to Amazon and get a new one.
I have put a new bottle of solution in the mop, but nothing will spray out. Suggestions?

You can go to ehow website or youtube for tutorials on troubleshooting swiffer wetjets.
I have had my Swiffer Wet Jet for 2 months and it is not working. I cleaned the nozzles with a toothbrush and used a toothpick inserted into the nozzles, ran vinegar through it to clean the system, changed the batteries and cleaned the contacts on the batteries.
I have done all of the suggestions and it still doesn't work, it is totally dead. Any suggestions?You do not say where you purchased your Swiffer but many stores have a 90 day return policy.
I would suggest you check out the store's return policy (30-60-90 day?) and hopefully it will be 90 days and you can return it to exchange for another or a refund.
Interesting comments..

I have a Swiffer Wet Jet CE. The batteries are fine, but when the switch on the handle is pressed the motor does not run to release the spray. Do you have a solution for this? Thank you.

Wet Jet Motor doesn't run!!! I have cleaned the battery contacts with acetone, rubbed them with sand paper, replaced the batteries, cleaned both sprayer holes with a needle and put on a new bottle of cleaner. Still not working!!!
My machine is new, it is the first time I'm using it and it is only squirting out of one side. I guess it is clogged.

At times new units might be defective. These types of mops have a guarantee and the store should replace this for you. I'd find my sales receipt and take it back to the market. They will give you a new one.
