Hoover problems The shampoo does not seem to be coming out. How can I fix this?

Usually, in the course of use, if it not THOROUGHLY sprayed out with pressure (like a good water hose nozzle) each and every time, dirt and grime build up and dry up, caking up the passageways. This is the most common ailment w/most all shampooers.

make sure that you have filled everthing properly and the hoover steam is in a good condition. or check else is there any loose coonections in the bottom of the hoover, which makes the tank empty.
if the problem persists take it to service.

Hi,

Firstly, please ensure that there is shampoo in the tank and the tank is correctly and fully inserted. There are 2 ways to dispense shampoo on to the carpet:

1. Use the solution trigger on the underside of the handle (numbered 2 in the picture below)
2. For tough stains use the "Clean Surge" button to dispense extra shampoo (numbered 3 in the picture below

The Scotchguard is going to be dicey inside the Bissell, yes, as you have learned the hard way.

I think the Bissell and the Hoover shampoos sold for their carpet cleaning machines are reasonably safe to use in the Bissell. My own personal favorite for use with the Bissell is the Hoover Premium Pet Formula, which is pricey but effective even if you don't own pets. I also pre-treat stained areas with Resolve Carpet Cleaner, a few minutes before using the Bissell.

I don't know what will happen with your home brew containing Dove. It may work well.

From your description, you have a problem with your one of the solenoids that may be stuck open. this would require a shop repair.

It is recommended that you use Hoover soap. You can use other soap that states it okay with hoovers.

Check the valve at the bottom of the tank, Check for cracks around where the valev is at the bottom of the tank, if cracked, replace the tank. With the tank off, can you see the rod in the handle move up and down when you squeeze the trigger. The part that the tank sits on is acalled a resevoir asm. it may have gone bad, or the seal is out of place.

if you unscrew a bit on the base that allows you to take off the brush, you will see a black plastic strip with very small holes in it. These are where your shampoo comes out of. Take a needle and re-pierce these holes and it should work again. I have just sorted mine out. good luck .

we found that there was a small slit in the hose assy and had to replace it.

Don't have one yet, but your problem might have solved mine. Bought this cleaner used and now will go to vacuum store to buy spring. Water just pouring out like a faucet.
