It is not an easy project. It could be several issues.
1) Heater clogged up.
2) Solenoid valve(s) not working.
3) Pump not pumping.

Here is one thing you can try. Fill the bladder with hot tap water. Try spraying form the hose only. (Do not attach any of the attachments to it. Just spray directly from the hose.) It may take a minute or so but many times it can prime itself and start working after doing this.

If it is any of the problems above this will not fix it.

Proheat 25a3 sprays at tool handle will not spray at floor

The heater is likely clogged with soap gunk. The water for the upholstery tool does not go through the heater in you model. You can sometimes get it running again by putting vinegar in the tank and trying to flush it through and get it to dissolve or flush out the obstruction. It can take a few days or weeks of leaving the vinegar in the machine. Usually the obstruction must be removed by taking the heater out and cleaning it. The heater is in the handle. You can unscrew the handle and separate the front and back to access the heater.
If you can get the water flowing again you can keep it from happening again by not putting soap in the machine. Some models will not dispense water without something in the soap tank but you can put in water. If you put soap in the machine it is spraying the soap and water on to the carpet and immediately extracting it back out, it will still clean but not as well as if you would allow a few minutes dwell time to soften and loosen the oily sticky soils.
The best way to clean a carpet is by using a pre-conditioner (basically the soap) mixed into hot water and sprayed onto the carpet after it had been thoroughly vacuumed to remove as much dry soil and debris as possible. Allow a few minutes dwell time and flush out with fresh clean water. Your carpet will be cleaner and stay clean longer because you got it cleaner but also you rinsed out the soap.

Don't know how to use with shampoo

Best to not put shampoo in machine. Put traffic lane cleaner in sprayer with hot water, spray onto carpet after thorough vacuuming, allow cleaner to dwell 5 to 10 minutes and clean and rinse with fresh clean water in machine. For best results do NOT put shampoo in he machine even though it was designed for it. Most of the machines brought in for repairs are clogged with soap gunk. Carpets will be cleaner and stay clean longer because the soap has been rinsed out of carpet
