    After spending the morning trying to get my Bissell pro heat to work, I was ready to toss this one, even though I had only used it about 4 times previously. It seemed like I had both problems, water not being sucked up and the red spin dial not spinning when I pressed the trigger. I had already checked the belt, which was working, but I did another check around the belt as you suggested to see if there was any carpet fiber around the belt pulley and that was clear, with only a bit of dirt and hair around the casing. I also checked to see if the pump was working by pouring a bit of water down in the hole where the bladder connects, and when I turned the machine on, it sucked it right up. The only other thing I did was taking the clear cover off and cleaning it really well, all around where it seats. I put it back together and now it works perfectly! I don't know if I fixed anything, but it is working now! Thank you for putting together this video, I wouldn't have known how to check the other pulley or if there was suction. You did a great job in explaining how the shampooer works and what to look for.

    you know what's crazy? the newer model - atleast the dual pro newer model I just got has this feature. I had the old one and they certainly made it longer. so well done. whether they saw this or not, they noticed it too and fixed that little quirk which I bet is the problem for many

    Hi in the UK here I have basically the same model mine was not working at all tried loads of tricks and fixes after watching many videos fixed to a point where one side of machine is spraying but it does not seem to be suckin water very well. I am going to try your fixes. I would like to give you kudos on your video you explain the mechanics of the machine in a way that is easy for a layman to understand.

  • @corasmath1420
    @corasmath1420 2 роки тому +3

    Yes ! This totally fixed my problem of water not releasing thus not sucking up! Thank you! I was concerned about the screw and that it could break the machine but I used a small screw and gently screwed down making sure not to get side ways.

    Another problem with carpet shampooers is if you have cat litter dust in your carpet...it will clog up your machine pretty quickly and you have to clean out the compartments.

    I'm guessing the water pump actually went out on this 1697-1. Same kind of pump. It pumps water out from the fresh tank as long as the cover is off and no vacuum on the combination tank. As soon as I attach the cover with this red machine running and spraying, it stops spraying. Everything else works good.

    The red ball is what turns your pump to move the water. Run a few cups of white vinegar thru the machine to remove any calcium build up you your not clogged up the next time you use your machine.
