When I turn my clean water tank over, the water shoots out of the tiny hole really fast. If I quickly put it into place, it starts flowing out of the bottom of the machine.
That’s awesome! I did another video about that as well. Without the straw it just continues to leak out of that hole: Bissell Little Green Machine Leaking Water Try This to Fix It ua-cam.com/video/xkA5m7bG6qw/v-deo.html
Thank you, I just bought a new one and straight out of the box started leacking. I was so disappointed. I still am but at least I have a solution. They should do better. Thank you!
Thank you very much ! Your video was the only one I found that showed me where the black went on the collection side, I spent an hour trying to find a video of where it went.. but may I suggest you show us how to put that on, or which way it goes on ...
That clean water leak empties the tank fast and can completely soak the carpet down to the pad and into the subfloor. If it's wall to wall carpet, it's a disaster. The machine doesn't have the suction to pull out all that deep water. Mold and buckling of the subfloor will probably happen. I should have turned it on while on a kitchen counter to make sure the spray happens.
You’ll need to make sure the clean water reservoir is in place correctly and isn’t offset. It needs to be fully in place and upright. If it’s slightly off or sideways it can leak water out the bottom.
Thank you for this. Poor design. Mine leaked so much it got into the motor and created shock risk. Had to throw it out. Poor customer support from Bissel and not the first of their products to give me trouble with leaking and safety. Done with their brand now.
My little green is over 10 yrs old. The ONLY issue I have with it is getting the tool on/off the hose. it's so difficult and I have to use a lot of force to get it on or off. If you look on the hose end while the tool is off, you can see O rings. Can those be replaced and if so which to get? Or maybe it's some other reason? I don't know...
UHH I think I’m missing a part… I don’t have any such lid that says reclose. I just have the loose part with the white plus sign and I was holding it shut with my hand til the last second and releasing it when I put it in. Omfg. Now I don’t know what to do
It’s possible. Does yours still have the straw in the clean water tank? If not that can cause it to leak too. I did an updated video here: Bissell Little Green Machine Leaking Water Try This to Fix It ua-cam.com/video/xkA5m7bG6qw/v-deo.html
Do you know where yours may be leaking from? If the hose is cracked then you may need a replacement. If the water tank isn't on correctly it may need to be adjusted. Also the gasket around the base of the dirty water tank might not be on right and could be the issue. The gasket could also need to be replaced. The first step would be to identify where the leak is.
This helps identify where the leak is coming from (in my case the clean water) but gives no advice on how to fix the problem.
If it is leaking from the clean water the straw might not be attached. Thankfully someone stated this in the comments :)
OMG blessings on y’all and your loved ones who mentioned the straw seriously 🫡🫡
Thank you bro. My parents were freaking out thinking they got a defected cap. That hole was making them want to return it. Much appreciated.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.
I thought the same thing when I first got mine! They should really explain why the hole is there in the directions…

So it’s normal to have that leak?
Everyone, make sure the straw is connected to the cap for the clean water tank.
Thanks… This is the detail I was looking for 🏆
Found the straw in the clean water tank! Yay! There's no mention of it in the booklet that comes with the machine nor on the Bissell website.

I was waiting for the solution of the first issue
Me too
Me too!😢
Yes , is there a solution?
I knew where it was leaking from I need to know how to fix it
Just look for the clear straw inside the clean water tank and attach it, it won't leak anymore from the buttom!!! Hope it helps

How do you fix it?
Always wondered why mine never sucked any water .. it's missing the dirty tank gasket. Thanks
What the solution to the 1st option because by sounds of it it's unavoidable
i just bought mibne and had the same problem
Me too. Brand new and pissing all over the place! Leaking galore!
Make sure the straw is connected to the cap in the clean water tank.
@@v.a.2028 this is the answer! Thank you!
@@v.a.2028What straw? I don't see a straw anywhere

Mine is leaking from that little pin hole on the clean water cap, even while using the machine it still leaking onto the floor.
Why is there no solution to the first problem he mentioned?! He identified the cause but never mentioned the solution. I’m a bit frustrated now.

Not sure how so many people are missing that you did give the solution in the video 🤔

Go to their website and order a new cap.
can the machine leak water without the black gasket because I think that's the problem with mine.

@@MyProjectWeekend Yes! Mine does have the straw in the clean water tank.
I understand what can cause leaks. Do you have a solution?

I'm a house cleaner every household i clean that has this ""little green" version it leaks. Its totally design flaws!
Yes, I wanted to know if there is a solution to not having water come out of that tiny air hole.
There is not, just put the clean water vessel in its place quickly so minimal water comes out of it.
Make sure the tube inside the cylinder is attached to the hole in the cap.
How to fix the leak ?
Attach the small tube inside the cylinder to the cap.
Well that was a waste of time. Guess title says just leaking water and not how to fix.
