Bissell proheat used does not put out water

Question edited for clarity and what I think you meant to say.
Question moved from Washing Machines to Bissell ProHeat.

When you drop the hose into a bucket of plain water the force on the hoses is like dropping 2 gallons of water in a pail on you head from 3 feet high. You have either had a hose connection disconnect, or a hose that has split.

Bissell ProHeat come in about 12 different models, so it is not possible to help you further. All questions need 'make model (what it is)'.

Yes. Under the front handle yoke. The “no spray” is caused by a build up of soap from the wire. You might have to clean out the spray tubes on the bottom. Try running warm water with no soap after cleaning.

Is this the carpet cleaner Proheat?

I have a Proheat 2X and it wouldn't disperse water unless I used the Water Rinse setting. I found water came out and was suctioned properly, but on the Light Clean, Normal Clean, and Heavy Traffic settings, the unit failed to do anything. Problem may be with leaving the soap dispenser in-place, which might scum up the tubing.

SO, an alternative to throwing out my unit and buying somethign else was to put one capful of the Bissell soap in the water resevoir and keep the unit on Water Rinse. IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY NOW. Don't know if this will help, but at least I didn't have to buy a new unit. Rinse everything after using and there's been no problem.

My Bissell ProHeat is not dispensing water thru the floor cleaning position. I get water flow thru the tool application. Any ideas???

I have a Proheat 2X and had the same problem. I don't know if this will work with your unit... but I tried the Water Rinse setting and found water came out and was suctioned properly, but on the Light Clean, Normal Clean, and Heavy Traffic settings, the unit failed to do anything. Problem may be with leaving the soap dispenser in-place, which might scum up the tubing.

Hi There,

It sounds like to me that this may be your pump. The newer ProHeat 2X models actually have a Silinoid problem right now which is more common then the pump going bad, but if you have the original ProHeat series, then it sounds lik you have a bad pump.

Here's a link to a very, very helpful repair guide directly from Bissell that will explain to you step by step how to trouble shoot, and replace the pump if needed. I would be lost on the ProHeat series without this handy repair guide.

I'm pretty knowledgable now on these machines, if you need some help or some clarification on how to repair this, please feel free to reply to this repair by using the Clarification request form. If you found this helpful, please be so kind and rate my repair, and give feedback.

The valve at the bottom of the soap tank may have gone bad, Also try running a mix of water and vinegar(not on carpet) to see if it will clean the system out. The system may just need cleaning out.

Check to see if water will squirt out of the hose, if it does, then take the handle apart, the heater may be clogged. Once you get to the heater, take off the 2 water lines, dig out the clog, try to blow thru the heater to make sure it is open, then put back together. Otherwise it could be the belt, pump, seal not in place on the bottom of the tank or a clogged water line.

Check the belts first, if ok, does water squirt out of the hose nozzzle, if it does then the heate in the handle asm. is clogged where the tubes hook up to it. If no water squirts out, the the pump isn't working. Pull the top cover off, check all tubes to make sure there is no clog. Make sure the tubes are routed right so as not pinch one, also make sure the piston is mounted on the smart mix knob. and the knob is in the water setting before putting the cover back on. The cap for the flow indictor is leaking are or screwed on too tight. The seal at the bottom of the tank is not on the tank and is missing or sitting in the hole where the water goes.

Does water squirt out of the hose nozzle, if it does, then check the
heater inside the handle asm. Make sure that where the tubes hook up
to it are not clogged. If water doesn't squirt, check for the seal at
the bottom of the tank, it needs to be on the tank, not in the hole.
The flow indictor cap is leaking air or maybe is too tight. If you had
the top cover off, make sure that the tubes are routed right so as not
to get pinched when the cover is put back on, the smart mix knob should
be in the water setting and that the piston is on the bottom of the
smart mix know. Pump is bad.
