if you got if from supa cheap , they will organize the replacement parts
anywhere else , contact the service agent

The filter will be blocked solid
the lack of airflow may of overheated the motor

go here > http://www.shopvac.com/brochures.asp for manual

You press in the black cap in the middle of the filter while you pull up on the black "handles" around the edge of the filter. It just pops off.

Hello,

I was unable to find the model WD16500 instruction manual anywhere online. In fact I did even find a link to that products owners manual, but when I clicked through the page no longer exists on Ridgid's site. I was able to find the parts diagram for the WD16500, and the instruction manual for the WD16600 which is also a 16 Gallon Detach Wet/Dry Vac, also with a detachable blower, and the model that even replaced the WD16500.

I also left you the number to Ridgid if you'd like to contact them, they may be able to mail you a paper copy of the instruction booklet.

I hope this helps you:

all you have to do is open it up and take the paper filter off and then it's a wet vac. If it has a foam over filter you leave that on

Directly from ridgid

When you use the shop vac for cleaning up water you must remove the filter.

The filter is for dust particles not for water
I would replace your filter and dump the water out from the shop vac, Also after each time you vacuum up water dump it out of shop vac.

I hope this helped you happy new year!
