The water tank and the solution tank both have red gaskets that attach to the bottoms of the tanks. Make sure they are on properly, I just had the same problem and spent hours taking apart the machine and inspecting lines to find out it was a gasket.

On my machine the red gasket for the solution got stuck in the chasis for the machine. The bissel website alludes to this, but isn't very clear.

Other posters talk about the heaters, or the lines being clogged and I immediatley inspected these areas, turns out it was a gasket that was hiding in the chasis. Both the water tank and the solution tank should have one, and make sure they don't get nestled in the chasis!

    Flipside's solution was spot on for my problem. Needle nose pliers retrieved the red gasket from the chassis. I placed it back on the cleaning soution tank and the unit works like new. Thanks Flipside!!

Water and shampoo is not dispensing

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure.
Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X Clean Shot Upright
This could be that you have a defective water valve assm below the water tank or the trigger assm is not working properly or not connected. You may want to refer to your owner’s manual and check out the trouble shooting guide for no water coming out. You may want to contact the factory or manufacturer to see if they have service tech support or to send out a new owners manual for your current model #. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

I have a Bissell BigGreen carpet cleaner. The spray trigger appears not to be working. The flow indicator is going as soon as I turn it on and it appears as if water just continually comes out.
There is a solenoid that activates when you press the trigger and allows water to flow. If it isn't stopping, you most likely have a bad solenoid. Take it to your local vac shop for repair.

How do I get Bissell Proheat 2X to work. Not dispensing water.
Did you clean the filter on the water tank. It's generally a red screen type device. Additionally, there is a filter under the Flow Indicator, unscrew the cap, lift out the propeller, lift the filter screen and clean it. Reassemble in reverse order. If you occassionally run one and half cups of white vinager through the machine it will clean out the calc buildup. Additionally, the filters should be cleaned after each use.

The wand will dispense water but no water is dispensing through the floor mechanism.
The User Guide gives you steps for reduced spray or no spray. But, I have seen some pinched hoses as the cause that can fixed by simply removing the hose completely and straightening it out. The Guide reminds you that the Bladder may be empty, the Heater tank may be empty, the tanks may not be seated completely, or my favorite the filter may be clogged. If you haven't been cleaning the filter after each use this may be a start. The first is where is it? There are actually two filters: One is located on the tank cap. It looks like a screen. Clean any particles that may have collected on it. The second is under the Flow Indicator: Turn the FLow Indicator cap counter-clockwise to remove it, remove the rotor, then remove the filter. Clean the filter and replace items in reverse order. If after that you still have a problem you can contact Bissell Consumer Care at 1-800-237-7391.

Water will not dispense
I'd clean the small filters. One under the Flow Indicator: Unscrew the Flow Indicator cap to remove it. Lift out the rotor and the filter is directly under it. Lift the filter out and clean. Replace in the reverse order. If that didn't work then call Consumer Care 1-800-237-7691. Hope that Helped.

Hoover troubleshooting
Hi! Try these quick and easy steps to get the water from your hose to spray.

Assemble the hose to the unit.

While holding the hose at an angle towards the ground, pump the trigger about 30 times. Turn the cleaner on then squeeze the trigger for 30 seconds.

If the water is still not dispensing there may be soap residue bulid-up clogging the nozzle/valve. Try soaking the trigger end in warm water for a couple hours, then repeating the steps above.

If the cleaner is still not dispensing from the hose but dispenses from the unit, a replacement hose may be needed. Follow the link below to order a replacement hose for your cleaner. Search Results

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

It turns on, it makes the noises, the brushes are spinning, but the water/cleaner isn't getting to the floor
Hello! Sometimes it is necessary to prime the trigger to get the solution flowing. To prime the trigger, recline the handle and pump the trigger vigorously 60 times. Then, power the unit on and squeeze the trigger for about 60 seconds. The solution should begin to flow. It may be necessary to repeat these steps a few times. To avoid internal damage be sure you are only using the cleaning solution recommended for this unit. If the unit is still not dispensing we recommend taking the cleaner in to a vacuum repair center for repair. Follow the link to locate the nearest authorized service center to you.

Flow Indicator Not Moving, Not Dispensing Anything
Does water squiret out of the hose, if it does, then check the heater inside the handle to see if it is clogged where the 2 water lines hook to it. The other reason, you may ghave a bad pump. But check the back edge to make sure the top isn't coming loose from the base. Check the bottom of the tank to be sure round seal is on the tank on the cap and valve. Sometimes they come off and wind up in the hole.
