This is an old question, but I was struggling with this recently and stumbled here. Most recent versions of socket.io (>2.0) doesn't have the socket.socket property anymore as pointed out here.

I am using socket.io-client 2.2.0 and I was facing a situation where the socket seems to be connected (property socket.connected = true) but it wasn't communicating with the server.

So, to fix that, my solution was call socket.close()and socket.open. These commands force a disconnection and a new connection.
