I have had one of these for the last 4 years, and it has never worked properly, it has been to Service 2000 (repairers) a minimum of 6 times, and has never been fixed properly. It has, yet again stopped squirting water out, so before I threw it in the skip, I decided to have a go at repairing it myself, what I found was a kink in one of the water pipes, the pipe goes inside the main body of the machine, very close to where the heater is, it seems, that when the heater gets hot, it softens the rubber pipe, allowing it to bend over on itself, starving the pump of water. I have removed the heater as I believe it offers little in the way the machine operates, and have cut the kink out of the damaged pipe, joined it together with a connector removed from the heater, and re-routed the pipe to avoid any sharp bends, hey presto, it squirts water out!!! Now why couldn't Bissell have worked that one out?

Thanks Bob. After taking all the hoses off the heater and cleaning them, I still couldn't get a spray except from the tool attachment. I then checked the spray nozzles, as suggested. Both nozzles were clogged. Now it runs fine. Thanks again.

This morning my Bissell carpet cleaner started and worked for about a minute then it just shut off. It just stopped working. The heater light is not on. Is there a reset button? I borrowed this machine and feel responsible for it. I didn't abuse it in anyway. It is a refurbished machine from Olldie's. It was used three times on medium size rooms. What could be the problem? I feel horrible. This always seems to happen to me. Why couldn't it break when she using her machine? I used only Bissell cleaner in machine. Help!

I have a brand new Bissell ProHeat Premiere 2x. I used it once and now the brushes are not moving. When you press the power button, the brushes turn for about 2 seconds and then stop.

What could be causing this?

Since you just purchased the cleaner, you should contact the store or the manufacturer for help. There could be many problems but a new cleaner should work perfectly for you.

My Bissell ProHeat 2X, 9400-4 07260c, does not spray onto the carpet, but water is going into the bottom tank like it sucked it up off the floor. However, the floor is dry. Any suggestions?

Bissell has an excellent troubleshooting guide. It is difficult to understand what part of the carpet cleaner isn't working properly.

There are several reasons why the machine won't spray on the floor, but the second tank fills up. Please go here and use the troubleshooting guide to help you determine what is wrong with the carpet cleaners.

When the shampooer is turned on, if the handle is moved, it turns off. Then if you move the handle up or down a little, it will come back on. It is very frustrating when I'm trying to shampoo my carpet!

Contact switch in the handle. Open handle and check the contact switch is attached properly

I just used my Bissell and I plugged it in again and it won't start. The outlets are fine and so is the filter. Why won't it start? Please help.

The contact switch sounds like it's not making contact. It could also be a problem with the motor. Here are a few things to check.

  1. Check the cleaner and make sure the brushes are free from all hair, thread or other object that can get wrapped around the rollers.
  2. Advertisement

  3. If you just finished using the cleaner, check to see if the motor is extremely hot. This can have a safety switch so you don't burn up your cleaner. If it is hot, just wait about 30 minutes before trying to start it again.
  4. Check your contact switch if you are handy with tools. You can open the handle and make sure the switch is making contact.
  5. You can also check the switch with a volt meter to make sure your contact switch is working correctly or not.
  6. Visist this website and download some of the PDF files to help you further troubleshoot the problem with your cleaner. www.fixya.com/.../r5862264-bissell_proheat_upright_wet_dry_vacuum

The handle sprays, won't suck. The bottom sucks, but won't spray. What gives?

If the handle doesn't spray, the tension at the trigger may be off.
If the cleaner doesn't spray, there may be a clog somewhere.

Bissel's website gives a great tutorial with pictures here: www.bissell.com/.../faq-detail-page?id=351b340d-bf2f...
