Why is my Bissell quicksteamer dirty water not going into tank

What worked for me is - put some water into the dirty water tank before you run it. My experience was, if I ran the machine with an empty dirty water tank, it stayed empty and didn't pull in any dirty water. If I put a little water in it beforehand, it helped seal the suction and get the thing started. Hope this helps!

Why does my shampooer dirty water tank only fill app. 2 inches of dirty water

Not clear about your question... but try and see if you can remove the unit and flush out the water tank and the filters.

Bissell carpet shampooer model 9200-9 that is not dispensing cleaning solution

I had the same problem with my Bissell carpet cleaner. I tried all the recommendations but nothing worked. After reading all the blogs, I discovered that many people had the same problem. Fortunately, I still had the receipt from Costco which they honored and gave me a full refund. I was ready to throw it in the trash.

Shampooer does not distribute foam

It usually means you have no filter or a defective filter in your shampooer hose,or your not using kirby shampoo.

There is no foam in the hose as I run the kirby shampooer. What could the problem be?

Check out the manual HERE.
It may be clogged valve on the solution tank.
Very dirty or clogged sponge (shampooer tank)
Very dirty or clogged screen(shampooer tank where hose is connected)
It is pretty common that that small screen comes out and stays in the hose elbow.

How do i disengage the dirty water tank from the machine to empty dirty water.

There are two colored levers on the left and right side of the tank, simply pull them outward and then lift the tank off of the machine.

-OR-

There is a handle on the top of the tank, lift that handle straight up unlocking the tank.

Best of Luck

Dirty Water drops behind shampooer

You are over sudsing your recovery tank. The machine is made to shut off the air flow if water starts to be pulled into the motor, but bubbles want trigger that. So if there are a lot of bubbles in your recovery tank, the get sucked into the motor (Which will destroy it eventually) and then the moisture gets exhausted onto the floor from the motor.

Solutions
1. Use less soap (Read the directions, you may be using too much)
2. Use a different kind of soap (The concentration might not be right for your machine)
3. Use a defoamer (Rug Doctor has a defoamer)

If your trying to shampoo your carpets but the water flow is to weak and it trickles through the spout to the carpet leaving small puddles

This problem often occurs when the foam filter is not replaced after rinsing or ends up in the shampoo hose at an angle preventing foaming. If you take the small shampoo hose of the shampoo tank the filter should be on the tank, if not, it may have come off and be in the hose. If it’s not there locate it, likely in the area where you last cleaned the shampooer or in the box, and put it back on the tank. While this should be cleaned after each use, care should be taken to replace it and not lose it.

The problem may also occur if you don’t actually add the Kirby Dry Foam Shampoo to the water or if you use some thin else.

Take care to also clean and replace the air filter after rinsing. It is located under the shampoo tank where the tank fits onto the vacuum.

Suggest that you do the following.
Remove the TOP ("Clean water") tank. Fill it 1/2 full of water. Put the top on the clean water tank and place it back on the machine.

Release the machine handle and remove the cover of the "dirty" water tank. Inspect the back of the tank to be sure that the vacuum adapter in located in the rear of the dirty water tank. If not-that is your problem. If yes, restore the top to the dirty water tank.

Power the machine on.
On a kitchen floor, power the machine on. Pull the trigger and hold it for about 30 seconds. You should see water gathering around the brushes. If not, that is a problem.

With water around the brushes, release and lower the handle and and move the machine over the water. It should vacuum the water into the dirty water tank.
Is all of that happening?
