SOURCE: Problems with the Hoover Steam vac Heated carpet cleaner

This happens when the filter on the inside of the lid for the dirty water tank is pushed all of the way up. You need to leave a 1/4 in. gap from the top to the top of the filter.

SOURCE: Bissell ProHeat Carpet Steam Cleaner stopped spraying.

The problem was a clogged heating unit which is located in the lower handle. There are two clear hoses going up the inside of the left leg of the lower handle that go to the heater and to the in-line water switch all within the lower handle. I unplugged the metal heating unit water lines and electrical connections (label the connections as you take them apart if you have a hard time remembering things...there were seven connection in all be it water and/or electrical). Removed the heat unit out and then removed the 6 screws holding the heater cover. Inside was a white powdery pasty debris (lime deposit ?) and the water path was clearly blocked in four different places. I cleansed the water trough with a little water and soft toothbrush and several toothpicks then reassembled. If you need new washers go to Orchard or ACE hardware. Take the old rubber washers(they are red) with you for comparison. I didn't need new washers...I just gently cleansed them. I immediately ran clear water through the machine and actually cleaned the carpet with a water rinse only. Will go back and finish the carpet the right way tomorrow. I had only used my machine three times before this happend over a three year period. A friend told me to always rinse it two maybe three times with clear water after using it and before storage. This took me exactly 42 minutes to disassembly and reassemble. Cost savings is several hundred dollars since I have a 5 bdrm house and would need a professional cleaner to do the small dirty traffic lanes all around the house.

Hoover brush and wash instruction manual

Hi there! To prepare for cleaning, put the solution and water in the top tank. While cleaning, all the dirty water gets sucked into the bottom tank. To clean squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push carpet cleaner forward, this equals one wet stroke. Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke). Release trigger and slowly push carpet cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). To avoid saturating the carpet don't do more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes. Here is a link to view the instruction manual if needed.

No water getting to brushs

Hi! Sometimes it is necessary to prime the trigger under the handle to get the solution flowing. To prime the trigger, recline the handle and pump trigger about 60 times. Then, power the cleaner on and squeeze the trigger for about 60 seconds. The solution should start to dispense. If it is still not dispensing there may be an issue with the pump assembly on the cleaner. We would recommend taking the cleaner in to a Hoover authorized service center for repair. Follow the link to locate one nearest you. Service Center Locator

Hope this helps!

How can I fix my Hoover spin scrub 50 solution trigger? It is not working.

Hey there! Sounds like you have no tension in your trigger. This could mean a problem with the trigger spring or control rod in the handle. Try reassembling the handle. Remove the two handle screws and slide the handle up and off. Inspect the control rods for damages. They should be the same length. Make sure they are pulled down as well. Reassemble the handle. If the trigger still has no tension but the cleaner dispenses from the hose, a replacement handle may be needed. To replace the handle, follow the link below.

Why is thecleaner not coming out of carpet cleaner

You have to continually hold the trigger to release the cleaning solution. If you don't hold the trigger closed then you are running the vacuum in carpet drying mode. http://hoover.com/file/610/

My Hoover Two Tank carpet cleaner still dispenses cleaning fluid...but only if I keep my thumb down on the 'extra solution' trigger. The main (and much easier to use) trigger doesn't work anymore. I'm...

The main trigger might have broken. This is common if the trigger is pulled too hard. You can take the handle apart on most units and replace the trigger. Usually the broken spot is where the trigger pivots.

Hoover steam vac dual v carpet cleaner has stopped dispensing soap. Water is still flowing fine

You probably have a solenoid valve which has failed and will not open. This will require replacement of the valve. For temporary use you can mix a soap solution and put it in the rinse tank. The correct mix is 5 ounces of Hoover shampoo to a gallon of hot water.

I think the trigger on my upholstery hose is broke how can i tell? trigger is loose- water just flows out and i have to shut the machine off. i have a hoover steam vac dual deep cleaner

The most common issue with this is the white nozzle tip broken. sometimes it comes out. it still could be the trigger. take it to a shop and they can tell right away. the trigger is spring loaded, you should feel tension.

Model F5865-900 -water won't dispense

I used a couple of cable zip ties to tighten V at the base of the trigger shaft - this is the shaft directly from the trigger at the top of the steam vac--just remove two screws toward the top of the unit

Hoover steam carpet cleaner

does the trigger feel like it is doing anything? if not you may find that your handle lever guard is broke and needs to be replaced. this is the plastic piece at the top of your handle and can be removed by taking out the screw. if this isnt it let me know.
