I have a bissell quickwash 1950-e. I bought it Jan. 2006, and have only used it 8-10 times, I live in a very hard water area, so I though if I put some vinegar in with the cleaning solution it would get rid of any hard water deposits, unfortunatly the solution went lumpy in the tank and stoped spraying out water, I have opened it, hose clean, sprayer not blocked, x at bottom of water container when depresed water trickles out, component that opens the x when water container placed, also ran wate
ANSWER : Hard to say what is causing your problem, replacing the cap and insert on the water tank may help, part #2041111, even tho it may trickle out water when depressed, they can still be bad. The other thing would be the rod not relesing the water like it should. The big draw back to this model is Bissell has obsoleted all of its parts and most are no longer available. Might be wiser to buy new.

Hi my proheat bissell 7901 stopped pumping water to the floor, but it pumps water from the hand hose. I read the manual and followed how to check belt and the flat belt on right side of shampooer is fine and I turned on and it turns and so do the brushes at the bottom of the machine. I was reading online and I guess there’s two belts on this machine? where can I find the other belt to see if it needs replacing. I guess it’s a ribbed belt? that is the water pump belt?
ANSWER : Just taken ours apart with the same problem… found it was caused by the 2 halves of the main casing coming apart in the area where the upright pedal release is. I found this to be due to the upper casing having broken in 2 places – the bottom of the screw wells..This means that the water tank cannot exert sufficient pressure on the valve to release the water..Only solution is a new top cover assembly

I think the pump needs to be replaced in my Bissell little green machine. Some water/solution is being pushed through but not enough to spray only drip, if I hold the machine up high while using it (ie on a table) it will spray a little. Is the pump easy to replace? is there anywhere to get a parts diagram?
ANSWER : I got my Little Green ProHeat when the product was first unveiled.several years ago. Shortly thereafter, the nozzle itself developed a.clog in the spray jet. Remove the nozzle from the end of the hose, and.with the machine running pull the trigger. If a great amount of.solution comes out of the supply hole, then your nozzle is clogged. .You can try clearing it with a very thin pin and then rinsing it out.
.
.In about 6 months, my pump would no longer spray solution at all but I.could hear the tiny pump still running inside the machine when I would.pull the trigger. Remove the tanks, unplug the unit, and look.carefully and you will see the few screws holding the unit together. .Pull it apart carefully and don’t use much force as some of it snaps.together and you don’t want to break those tabs. Once open, you can.find the solution pump, a little fella. The drive shaft on the motor.that spins the pump had rusted away completely! Design flaw. In lieu.of getting it repaired, I simply started using a spray bottle for my.solution application. Several years later and I’m ready to take the.time to replace the pump – a very simple process. From the research.I’ve done, the part number for the solution pump is:
.Manufacturer’s Part Number: 6035029
.If you google search “Bissell 6035029 VacPartsWarehouse” without the quotes, you should find your part there for around $9.
.
.Try this direct link to VacPartsWarehouse’s website:
.VacPartsWarehouse Bissell 1425-2 Little Green ProHeat
.Click item #9. It’s very simple to install. If you can wield a.philips screwdriver, and pay attention to how you’ve disassembled the.unit and then just reverse the steps, you can fix this yourself on the.cheap.
.
.Good luck! 🙂
