First, check to make sure the clean tank has water and/or the water & formula mixture in the tank. If your tank is empty, this could be the reason your machine is not spraying. You will need to fill your clean tank again. Reseat the tank and ensure it sits snug on the machine.
Spray issues
Check the machine is set to carpet cleaning mode. Make sure you are holding down the red spray button on top of the handle. Check the red base tank has enough water, and refill if necessary. Check the braided hose on the rear of the machine is securely fastened.
There could be several factors as to why your BISSELL PowerFresh steam mop is not producing steam. First, check to make sure the unit is plugged in and is in a working outlet. Next, check to make sure there is water in the tank. It is very important to make sure you are ONLY using water to fill the tank.

My Bissell ProHeat Pro-Clean upright cleaner won’t spray either water or solution onto the floor, however it does spray when using the attachments on the hose. The belt is fine, I’ve actually tried all of the troubleshooting steps indicated in the User Manual. I’m not even certain where it is supposed to be spraying out from! Any ideas where/what to check for?
My little green machine won’t spray the solution but it will pick
ANSWER : We had the same problem. After dissassembling the whole machine we could not find a clog or any other obvious problem. The manual suggests priming the pump by putting the solution reservoir in and out a few times. This did not help much. What did work was to raise the unit up a few feet above the trigger while depressing the holding the spray trigger. (That is, use gravity to fill the tube.) After solution was flowing freely, we turned the machine on and it seems to spray fine again..
.Hope this helps
My Bissell ProHeat steam cleaner won’t spray water. The accessory
ANSWER : Under the plastic under the water tank (its a pain to pull apart to get to it) there is a solenoid that actuates the water between the floor and the tools. This is toast if its not spraying the floor, its simply not reacting to the signal to let it go through to the water side. .
.Seems to be a common problem with the Bissell Proheats. You can order a new one online for about $12 and try to get to it to replace it yourself (if you can open up the base its obvious which part it is if you just follow the hoses).
My Kirby G3 paint attachment isn’t spraying the paint. I have everything hooked up according to the manual, and it sprays a continuous stream of air, but isn’t sucking up the paint to spray. Sometimes I can get short spurt when I point the unit directly down, but i can’t get a continuous spray.
ANSWER : Mcdevito75 here, Sounds like it”s cogged with paint, the paint is not being sucked up into the Spray gun itself, the air flows thru thr spray gun thru the trigger assembly. Follow the makers cleaning of the spray section of the spray gun. Try running paint thinner thru the spray system. Hpope this helps.
Bissell won’t spray water out of bottom and upholstery cleaner won’t **** or spray
ANSWER : Check the pump belt, just take that small door of and you can see the belt. If it looks ok, then probably need a new pump.
Why won’t my machine spray water and why won’t the cleaning fluid spray with the water?
ANSWER : Good to know that it worked.but keep updated with further queries if any.Disassembling and reassembling made the difference.As it can be some loose part or any component internally got stuck causing the no spray problem and when you Disassembled and reassembled the block got released and the unit started working again.Thanks for the updated..
Bissell will spray water when set to water rinse, but as soon as it is set to light, normal, or heavy cleaning, there is no spray. I have tried priming but to no avail. I put plain water in the solution tank to test without ay success. It is like it loses it’s prime whenever you try to use a solution mix. Once you set it back to water rinse only and go through the priming steps, it is OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
ANSWER : Please check the following with liquid in both tanks.
.
.
– Check to see if the machine will spray through the hose with the setting on tools. If it does, the pump is fine. Continue troubleshooting.
.
– Check for debris on spray tips. Clean them with a soft brush (on old tooth brush works well). The spray tips may be lifted out for easier access.
.
– Ensure the tank lid is properly attached to the bottom of the tank. To attach this properly, remove the Water Tank from the machine. Hook the front window onto the lip of the bottom container and then allow the window with lid to cover the complete tank. Secure the latch on the back of the bottom tank to the back of the tank lid. THE TANK LID CANNOT BE ATTACHED PROPERLY IF THE BOTTOM TANK IS ALREADY INSTALLED IN THE MACHINE.
– Check the bottom of the Water Tank and the Formula Tank to make sure each has a red auto-load gasket attached. Make sure the Water Tank and the Formula Tank are seated properly. Depress the x on this gasket to ensure this depresses and release back out. Liquid from the tank should dispense.
.
– Remove the handle completely and re-attach. Once the handle is re-attached, re-attempt to spray.
.
.
If the machine continues to not spray, check the following:
.
REMOVE THE COLLECTION TANK:
• Make sure the unit is set to water rinse
• Remove the smart mix bottle and fill it with water only
• Place the smart mix bottle into the collection tank reservoir
• Run the unit and try to spray. If the machine sprays, you will be able to see the water level decreasing in the smart mix bottle and you will need to replace the bottom tank. It is possibly warped.

The tool attachment for the hose on my Bissell ProHeat 2X CleanShot won’t spray soap or water. The bristles on the tool rotate without a problem and the suction is working fine, it just won’t spray water when I pull the little gray trigger on the tool.
