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.

You need to replace the pump belt. Here is the belt you need and a manual you can view:

No; the new pump has a metal pulley which is more durable then red plastic pulley. be sure to place a 3/4 thick x 10 inch long (small shelf works) piece of wood under housing before removing top.

HI, I have a very similar Bissell. My problem was that after unscrewing the top plate and looking at the pipes the pipes feeding the front sprays were full of gunge blocking the sprayheads. I managed to flush it through by carefully removing the T connector that feeds the front 2 pipes, placing it back so it stuck out of one of the holes and replacing the water tank and turning on while holding it over a bucket. Black and white bits came out but it did flush through. I am thinking of doing a youtube video - let me know if this will help you!

unplug unit first
take six screws out of housing.
lift of housing.
you can see pump at front of machine.
four screws hold pump in.
make sure all tubes are routed correctly.replace housing,
make sure no tubes are trapped
