Thanks to many others who have posted on similar problems -- water and/or solution sprays through the handheld tools, but not through the main machine.

As others have suggested, I removed the water reservoir, which exposes the 2 main water sprays mounted above the rollers. Using, pliers, I carefully slid the clips back. Gently but firmly removed the two red nozzles.

Elsewhere I have read suggestions to just do one nozzle at a time. However, I found out that if you remove both red nozzles, you can then blow through one side and it will come out the other. In my case, that dislodged a nice collection of crystal-like chunks (guessing it may be crystallized residue from the cleaning solution).

There was also a bit of blockage in one of the red nozzles, which I cleaned out. Make sure you can blow through both of them with little resistance.

Reassemble: Push red nozzles back into hoses. Using pliers, reposition sprung clip back over the red nozzle. Snap nozzles back into place. Refill tanks and power it up.

In my case, that resolved the problem of no sprays from the main machine. Sprays like new now. Hope yours does too!!

p.s. Make sure you do give it about a minute after you turn it on before you try spraying. If the pump is not allowed sufficient time to prime, you may not get proper flow.

Remove the bottom in order to access the innards and clean out all teh gunk you will no doubt find gathered there. Unhook one end of each clear plastic hose. Obtain a very small test-tube brush (only slightly smaller than the opening in the plastic tubes, approx. 3mm) and carefull scrub out each tube, then use the crevice tool from a vacuum cleaner (Bissell, of course), tape closed all but a small operening with ubiquitous duck tape, **** out the dirty water and any debris. Then reassemble the unit (good luck on that deal if you do not first secure an exploded diagram. Do not fail to do this or your wonderful Bissell will be laid to rest in your garage or landfill!) Before using, run several cups of clear water and a strong detergent like TSP to be sure all the "pipes" are clear and you see spray.  Good luck, Bill
