Common Bissell carpet cleaner parts that may need to be replaced
Your Bissell carpet cleaner is one of the many cleaning products you rely on, and it relies on key components to deliver effective deep cleaning. Here are some of the most commonly replaced parts:
- Suction motor. This motor removes dirt and cleaning solution from the carpet during cleaning. Replace the suction motor if it doesn’t run or if it fails to produce suction when running.
- Solution tank. The solution tank holds cleaning solution for distribution onto the carpet. Replace the tank if it’s cracked or damaged.
- Power cord. The power cord supplies electrical power to the cleaner. Replace the cord if it’s cut, frayed, or otherwise damaged.
- Cleaning solution pump. The pump sends cleaning solution to the spray nozzle. If the pump doesn’t operate or fails to spray solution, it may need replacement.
- Recovery tank. This tank collects the dirty cleaning solution extracted from the carpet. Replace it if it’s cracked or broken.
- Beater bar (brush roller). The beater bar agitates carpet fibers to loosen and remove dirt. Replace the bar if it’s worn or damaged.
Troubleshooting your Bissell carpet cleaner when it won’t spray cleaning solution
If your carpet cleaner isn’t spraying cleaning solution, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:
- Check the solution tank. Ensure the tank is filled with the correct mix of water and detergent.
- Inspect the tank cap. A clogged lint screen in the tank cap can block solution flow. Soak the cap in warm water and rinse it under running water to clear the clog.
- Clean the spray nozzle. Rinse the nozzle under water to remove any buildup or debris that may be obstructing spray flow.
- Verify handle position. Make sure the upper handle is securely locked in the upright position. Rotate the retractable handle lock and ensure it’s properly engaged.
