Good job on getting your Bissell back in working order! I had the same problem with my Bissell a few years ago. I took that puppy apart, cleaned everything, put it back together and it has worked like a charm since. Since my Bissell rehab, I do one very important thing after every shampoo. I refill the tank with only hot water and a bit of vinegar and take the cleaner out on the sidewalk where I cycle half the water through the base, and the other half through the hand nozzle. My lines stay completely clean and ready to go for the next shampooing project.

Ive got to say Im impressed by your tenacity. In your drive to push yourself to be handy i can honestly say you put even most men to shame who would no doubt have given up and put it out by the curb only to bad mouth the brand and tell everyone wholl listen how much of a piece of shit these bissells are Never even considering that they actually stored it wrong and just need to open it up and clean out their mess, inspiring ME to go on & quit watchin videos bout how to make it spray & just tear the whole thing down & look for all the places it could be clogged dirty & nasty and get it back in service .. thanks

A little more of a project most would like to tackle, now I see why I find them at thrift so often : ) Seeing the same type of issues. This last one had that crystalized/soap residue like you are flushing. The spinning filter on this similar unit was totally clogged. Was hoping rinsing that out would do the trick but I'm thinking its a bit more complex like yours. I'll likely take it back which is a shame as its otherwise quite clean or used a handful of times. Reminds me of clothing steamer residues from hard water as well.

2:08 This is where getting a bunch of distilled water (or at least having a water softener) and using that in lieu of basic tap water in your cleaner is a big benefit. My heater (which BTW they're no longer available for my model) was just as bad as your several years ago when I took it apart and since cleaning it I've stuck with distilled water until installing a water softener) and so far it's made it seven years until it just recently started having flow issues. I'll be checking the heater again (along with all hoses, nozzles and connections) and even if the heater has buildup again, the fact that it's lasted so much longer than previously is definitely a good thing. Also, when I first cleaned my heater I soaked it in some CLR to break apart the buildup without damaging the finish/coating on it, then used a stiff toothbrush to really get all the rest of the gunk out.

Thank you so much Jenny for the EXTREMELY informative video! I just pulled mine out to do some spot cleaning and EXACTLY the same issue as you, nothing happening with the clean water or the soap! 🤯😱 I plopped the clean water top into the sink with hot water 🤷🏼‍♀️ hoping that might fix it LOL and loosen any crud. Then I sat down to google this and my VERY FIRST CLICK was this video and you have the exact model!!! And yours looks just like mine! And I leave the soap jug on and it has soap in it. 🤦🏼‍♀️😬 I'm so glad I'm not alone in doing that BUT I won't be doing that again. LOL I'm not an imph but I am recently single and I like having a man around to do these jobs. I'm going to put on my Jenny Pantaloons 😉 and start to fix this machine because I can! I'll be honest if you had been a man making this video, I 99% would have dropped it off a vacuum repair shop tomorrow. 🤫🫣 But because you did the same fix I'm comfortable doing it too!! 💪🏼🩷💞👍🏼🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Great video and motivational inspiration! You gave me some valuable insight to give it a go again with mine this morning. I literally had to clean out the heater by chiseling out the crud ( it was completely full) with a small screwdriver and thought it would work for sure last night. I couldn’t safely get the hoses off the solenoid (thought they would split/break the inlets) so I used a handheld MightyVac pressure/vacuum to clear the lines separately. Then I was able to push water through the heater to verify everything worked properly, with exception of the attachment handle. I used the MV to back feed from the attachment end, alternating between that and running the Bissell to loosen up the clog. If it needs fixed again, I’ll start with the MV at the attachment end and then on the floor nozzles.

If you really clean your carpet by broom sweeping and vacuuming before shampooing, you will really eliminate most of that gunk. I clean my carpet so well before shampooing that the red filter hardly gets anything trapped in it. Seriously, save yourself from having to go through all that disgusting mess by really deep cleaning your carpet with a broom and vacuum cleaner first. My Bissell Proheat pet turbo has broken the belt that controls the pump for the water dispenser twice now, I've only had it for one year. I'm going to try to find an after-market brand of belt this time. But to save yourself from all that gunk cleanup, just clean the carpet better first. Especially if you have pets.
