check the belt that drives the brush. Maybe the motor that drives it has quit. Check for power at the head. be careful it's 120 volts

If you are having a leaking problem check your clean and dirty water tanks and the caps. Determine what is leaking. It could be a loose cap which we have here. If the tank itself is cracked you will need to replace that part. You can find parts for the BG10, BG10N2 and 86T3 here. GoodVac.com www.goodvac.com 1-800-775-6586

Hello There, Is your machine use the water from the tank at all? If your machine use too much shampoo, my guess is it use less or no water at all. In this case the pump is sucking very little or nothing from the water tank and it does from the shampoo tank. Please look the attached plumbing diagram. After you opened the unit up, you can follow the tubes and clean the system (solenoid valves but mostly the tubes those involved in the water tank circuit) Good Luck with the repair! Sorry, I wasn't able upload!

Not knowing what needs to be put back together I am giving you this phone #....Bissell Consumer Services !-800-263-2535 Make sure you have the Model Number available. Regards, Dennis.

Can only think of 2 things - pump or clogged spray nozzles. Regards, Dennis

there is two of them, one for each side, two screws hold on a clear plastic cover on both sides, the belts are serpentine, one on the plactic gear, one on the metal drivegear, see shiny parts where the belts have been traveling, good luck, pretty easy

Hello There, There are a number of things that cold cause no water is coming out. -Fill up the clear water bladder, lift up and push the valve underneath to release some water (it should drip) -place the water container on the carpet cleaner and make sure it sits properly. If you lift up the container it should see some water in the deep part of the base plate (where the valve is on the bottom of the container) -turn on the the carpet cleaner (the vacuum motor should spinning) and push the spray button(check if water shows up) -if not, listen to the for the sound of the pump motor (unfortunately the vacuum motor is already running so the noise level is high) -if you can't tell, you need to open the base plate 9disconnect the power first) by removing the tank and unscrew the Phillips screws all around the base plate. When you lift it up carefully you will see a small 12 Volt DC motor, this is the pump. The motor have to receive 12 V to turn on. If the motor is running (checking the sound, measuring the voltage to it) the problem is the tubes are plugged. It can be anywhere from the nozzles, the filter on the base plate, the heater (if the bottom plate is lifted up it is easy to see). The heater is made by two pieces, removing the screws it can be opened up and cleaned. If the motor is not running (no power to it, it can be the bridge rectifier or the 3.15 A fuse (embedded in the cable harness) Good luck!

Helo There! I the cleaner won't spray that is nit necessary mean the heater is clogged. Try to make sure if the pump is running (by listening to it, measure about 12 V on it). The pump has a hidden 3.15 A fuse in the cable harness (in a heatshrink). If that one is blown the pump won't work. The heater is accessible after you opened up the base panel. Remove the tank assembly and look for the screws to the bottom plate. Loose and take out those, lift up the base panel carefully. Underneath, you will see a cell phone size aluminium piece connected to rubber lines. This is the heater. If you unscrew the mounting screws, lift up the heater, disconnect the rubber tubes. Take out the heater and open up by removing the screws around the edges. You can look inside, clean it if it was plugged. Assemble the pieces in reverse order and test the functions. Good luck with your project!

Possible the water pump has gone out. I changed mine out it was not too hard.Also make sure the pump lines are all still attached and not clogged.This will take a little dis-assembly.

Hi There, If your shampooer not very old more likely you have not corrosion issues. To make sure the pluming is clear, flush the pipes and the nozzles. To access these part of the machine you have to open the bottom cover (remove watertank and screws). In the spray system some components are involved: solenoids, trigger switch, rubber piping, heater block and the pump as the heart. If you can you should check the pump running or not. The pump is a small 12 Volt motor (gets power if the vacuum motor (120 Volt!) is running, connected in series through a bridge rectifier). If you can, measure voltage on the pump connections (be aware of line voltage). If no voltage detected, it could be the rectifier or it may has a blown fuse, which is hidden in the cable bundle (120 V/3.15 A). You should follow the wires from the pump, the fuse is insulated with a pice of heatshrink. Open up and measure continuity. If the fuse is broken, try with 12 V (car battery or power supply?) the pump only. If it's running smoodly, replace the fuse (could be tired for some reason and broke). After the pump is running it should spray trough the nozzles. Hopefully this would help and get going your broken Bissell. Good Luck!
