I want to thank you Wayne for explaining the filter (small red box) fixture inside the tank! The door is now OPEN and we have suction😅. The pro heat 2x pet machine my boyfriend purchased from my landlord was almost brand new. It is in pristine condition, but my landlord no longer uses the machine. My boyfriend had a great news as his rental house needed a good cleaning. We were perplexed when the ma nine first started working and then quit suctioning! Talk about frustration! We started researching TH-cam and your helpful video tremendously helped! THANK YOU! MANY BLESSINGS to you!
OMG!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! I almost went out and bought a new Bissell. I am generally not to bad with fixing my own stuff if I run into a problem. I had the first unit that you were demonstrating and I knew about the filter in the water container getting clogged but I did not realize it was also the the pro2x because it is somewhat hidden compared to the other unit. Well that did the trick. Now going back to suck up 4 ci=ontainers of water that did not get sucked up! Thank you again so much!!!! I am definitely a subscriber now!!!
Thankyou sir! I had not even seen that filter on that flap! Mine looked like it had a pad over the mesh…it was totally packed. I cleaned that and it now is as good as new. Thank you very much for the video!!
You helped so much! Thank you, my carpet cleaner is working much, much better. The one thing I did notice, the red filter turn nob on the stationary part of the cleaner, underneath the tank, that was turned to unlock. So, I went through everything you said and cleaned out the liter read filter in the tank, turned the big red button to lock, and voila! Working like it should. You a fabulous trainer! Thank you again!
I had looked through the manual, went to the Bissell support page, went through the forums… I couldn’t quite figure out what they were referring to. Your video was so helpful! You had some really great tips in addition to fixing my problem as well. I drew a line on my tank lol Thanks for this video, it saved my sanity!
I'm tellin ya Wayne you make good videos...Thanks ... love the way you express yourself... I can tell you are a very likeable person ...Hell I don't even know you and I like you.
Thank you thank you thank you! My husband was ready to throw this out because it was not suctioning. Your video showed him he didn't have the front clipped properly and the seal was not tight. Quick and easy fix. Again, thank you thank you thank you!!!
You were more helpful that the customer service rep for Bissell!! I’m still having the suction issue with my Pro heat Select 2x; however you have put me on the best path to identifying the problem. Thank you!
Thanks for the suggestions to both test the suction right at the source and remove the check valve. I've now eliminated those as the potential problem. Onward in my diagnosis!
Thank you so much for creating this troubleshooting video! It helped me fix the suction problem on my Bissell 2x. The filters needed cleaning! Take care!
Thank you Thank you! I have the powerlifter powerbrush, i thought i was gonna have to put it in the shop, followed your tips and yes all it was, was the filter. thank you again.
Hi Wayne… I’m having another issue with my Bissell Pro Heat 2x. No suction on floor mode. I did check the black square and theres plenty of suction. I also remove the red lint saver. Still nothing. I did open the piece where the water jets are bc I was not getting any water. Not sure if its possible that I disconnected a hose bc the top suction is great So I thought I would ask for help again before the shampooer meets the curb Thank You Donna. .
@wutUthinkinBro check the nozzle on the front- if you have suction at the duct ( closest to the motor) then work your way to the front check for gaps and clogs along the way
Thank you for the video. My pro Heat 2x tank was cracked. I never considered that as a possibility until I saw this video. Also I did not know that hot water could damage the tank over time.
Is there anyway to disassemble the head to actually clean where the water goes up the face? there are 2 screws and a clip on the bottom but I’m afraid to pry on it lol
Ah man, how sneaky of these companies to keep using the same name to a vacuum that looks totally different. Looking for the Bissell Deep Clean Pro Heat 2X professional pet similar issue loss of suction. It was just working and then nothing, I checked the basics and don't see any debris or flap issues but am having issues identifying the suction flow from under the tank, I feel a pull of air only under the small red screen but not really anywhere else, there is some air/heat blowing out up closer to the roller bars (heat dry feature maybe) Do you happen to have this unit by you to help walk me thru this or maybe already have a video with it? Thanks in advance : )
Thanks so much for your videos. I have a Bissell 66e12 carpet cleaner. The base suction is fine but there is no suction from the tools hose. Bissell sent me instructions that simple said to take it to an authorized dealer. I am a very handy DYI guy. Cab you give us a tutorial on this issue?
This is a very helpful video.In my orange pet revolution there is a gasket in nozzle and similar oval gasket below .The gasket which was below came out .Can you tell me how to fix that without opening the whole part?
Excellent video thank you very much! I used the troubleshooting suggestions and partly resolved my problem. After cleaning the little filter (close to the float) in the collection tank I thought it would resolve the second part of my problem... which is no suction at the floor piece. When I move the selector dial to the hand attachment - suction is strong suction. When I switch back to floor I am getting no suction from the floor piece. I tested the selector dial to make sure it was working (making sure it was diverting correctly) and it does work as expected. Gaskets between collector and floor seems good - I did the tissue test you suggested and didn't get any results for a leak. Simply = when its on the floor setting I have no suction - any suggestions on what else to check?
Update since I posted - hairline crack right along vertical side of the floor nozzle. Because I was testing at the bottom where you would expect suction I didn't notice the crack immediately. Going to replace the part and check again!
Hi Diane I have a playlist “Bissell Tips” Bissell Pro heat and 2x spraying tips th-cam.com/video/aSNoI5ByLdk/w-d-xo.html and you should find one of the Bissell spraying videos to help solve the problem. If you’re still stuck please reach out
Great tips, But I had another question about the same unit the pro heat/ pet. It leaks out of the bottom when using and while setting? Running or not it leaks. It is an older unit just wondering if it would be a easy fix or get a new one.
Its most likely the autoloader receiver...the black circle that sit below the tank.. part number 2036758...sounds like the bottom seal broke and causing the water to leak out
Hi. I bought a second hand Bissell ready clean. I used it today for the first time. The dirty water tank did not fill up and the carpet was soaking wet after cleaning it
I know I am a little late on this video but I just want to say, Awesome Video! I did everything you said here and I cleaned everything out and even used an air duster on the bottom of the Bissell Pro Heat 2x (Model 9200) and when I turn it on without the tank the suction is VERY STRONG and the hose works fine but when I turn the dial to "Floor Cleaning" it has some suction on the bottom so I am thinking it's probably the trigger on the handle. Do you think I should open up the top part of the vacuum to check the trigger part? Please any info you can give me I will appreciate and I am in no rush.
If the problem is suction you won’t need to focus on the trigger. The tank, the lid and the window nozzle is where your focus should be. Check those for either leakage or clog
Thanks for the help Which pro heat 2x pet pro is the best one to buy. I am getting ready to buy.The one with the spray for stain s or with out spray. Thank you. God Bless. Please let me know ASAP.
If the machine is making suction but it's not sucking up the water properly, do you think it could be from the plastic piece on the front having the corner broken off? I'm talking about where the plastic piece curves up, maybe to make a Tight Seal to the carpet?
If its the front lip the curve up....no.. that won't stop the suction at least it shouldn't. I would have to see it to be absolutely certain. But you are right in thinking that the problem lies in that area. Check the source of the suction. There is a screen..make sure its clear of lint and try reconnecting the nozzle.
Hey thanks for these videos much appreciated! My brand new bissel “turbo clean powerbrushPet” shampooer, which I have only used for about a half an hour, starting to give a high pitch squeal and then I could smell smoke/burning smell coming from the unit. Very strange that a brand new unit would possibly burn the brushes(motor brushes not vacuum brushes) so quickly and cause it to squeal and burn up. The unit works but I can feel if I push it much more I’m going to fry it completely... any thoughts sir? Many thanks, -Bobby
Hi Robert, sound like a motor/electrical issue. I recommend calling bissell. They will first troubleshoot over the phone, then recommend a local authorized shop. If none is in your area then they will work something out with you. Possibly send out a replacement,.that is if its still under warranty. Hope thats helps
Get a screw driver and remove the clear plastic nozzles from the front and side of the unit. Specifically the front and left side( the left if you are standing behind the Shampooer) your belt may be broken
I'm still having issues with my bissel proheat 2x I've cleaned and checked everything in your video but it still has no suction, the tool option works still wonderfully but the floor cleaner option still doesn't work
If the motor has suction the the next step is the tank. Try taking the nozzle off. Remove the screw that hold the main nozzle to the base and remove the nozzle. Then put the tank back on the unit. Turn the machine on to check if the suction is reaching the section where the nozzle should connect. Use a paper or plastic to test suction. If good suction then the problem is the nozzle if not then look to the tank. Keep me posted
Can you tell me how to clean dirt out where the knob is to turn from floor to tool on a bissell pro heat 2x max . It’s a little older model . I can’t get to that area to clean it
Hello Mr. Monroe; I have a Bissell 253A Series and recently I have a problem. When I was cleaning my bedroom carpet I have noticed the dirty water isn't sucking into the blader-container. Can you please help or answer my question how to fix the problem? Thanks Armine
Sorry for delayed response-Model 25A3 - diagnostic can start at the motor. Take off the tank turn on the unit and check the suction at the opening . Then check your tank for crack or the lid to make sure it closes properly. Next put the tank on but remove the front nozzle window and check the opening that joins / connects to the window. If all those check out and has suction that the next step is a put the window back and check to see if it will suck up water, if not replace the window. How that helps
Hmmm.. I have a playlist Bissell tips. That focus on suction through the hose please visit that playlist to see if one of those videos can help. If not let me know
I have a brand new Revolution Pet Pro . It sprays, but does very little pick up, if any at all! And when done the machine leaked all over my floor...so, any hints how I might trouble shoot this? Thank you!:) But going to go back and check it all through with gaskets etc.
@@monroevacs Hey that was sure fast!! And thank you! I just can't go and buy a new unit, so, thank you for putting up such great videos! Helps those of us who like to fix our own stuff! Anyway, I will check this out. I do have an idea I want to try on the leaking top canister...can one lubricate it with some silicone grease so the rubber part might seal better? Sometimes plastic/rubber gets too dry...so I am thinking of trying to lubricate it to help it to seal. Spending 100 + for a canister that might not work, again, is not a great option! Thanks for your fast reply!!:) Cheers Bro!
Wayne .., I have a " Bissell Deep Clean Deluxe PET " with the solution bag inside the container while the container itself collects the sucked-up solution. But theirs NO dirty water being sucked in the container. Where's it going .., what's happening ❓❓❓
Interesting David. My first question - is the carpet still wet long after shampooing. Also when you are sucking up the water, you should see water shooting up the clear nozzle. If not..then the true question is: is it sucking up the water at all. You may have a suction issue. A seal. A crack or a clog. Do a little experiment and let me know. Check the carpet after you shampoo and check the nozzle while shampooing.
@@monroevacs NO.., it isn't but I don't understand it. The solution is all gone but NO dirty water in the tank. I know when I'm shampooing theirs alot of " foam ".., and it settles.
Foam? Bissell solution don’t produce a lot of foam. They’re extraction machines so they use foam less solution. Are you using detergent or dry foam solution? Bissell and Hoover should use foam-less solutions. Double check your solution
@@trumpmypresident4721 ok, That is odd, so lets then focus on the suction then. The water is either going into the container or its in the carper. For the sake of ruling out mysterious happenings we would assume one or the other. Trust if the water was being redirected elsewhere, you would know. You'd find spills or your motor would seize up. try shampooing with just water (no solution) and do a spot check. check the nozzle while trying to pick up the water and check the carper for excess water. we can start there.
In the bissell proheat pet how is the spinner supposed to work??? Also is the brush roll supposed to wiggle all over or be stationary??? Great video I'm having suction problems so I'm off to start troubleshooting... I'm putting water down picking some up but not as much as I'm putting down and my spinner isnt moving... I also cant tell if my brush is moving but I'm going to try to check and see... it's been a while a long while since I've used the machine... great video I really appreciate it...
Mine isn't suctioning up, but blows air underneath. It has suction and followed all steps mentioned and still isn't suctioning up water. Should air be blowing out of the bottom of the machine???
Shampooer and vacuums all has exhaust. So expect some air to be blown out of the unit. Use my contact page on my website and send me a video. Without seeing it in action it’s hard to properly diagnose the problem
It's so refreshing to watch a video that's actually helpful and informative, thank you for making this!!
Thanks Mikestorck, my pleasure

Hi Wayne…
I’m having another issue with my Bissell Pro Heat 2x.
No suction on floor mode.
I did check the black square and theres plenty of suction. I also remove the red lint saver. Still nothing.
I did open the piece where the water jets are bc I was not getting any water. Not sure if its possible that I disconnected a hose bc the top suction is great
So I thought I would ask for help again before the shampooer meets the curb
Thank You
Donna. .
Awesome 😎
did you ever get this figured out ? exact same issue as me. filter clean, suction in the rubber part, but still not vacuuming it up
@wutUthinkinBro check the nozzle on the front- if you have suction at the duct ( closest to the motor) then work your way to the front check for gaps and clogs along the way
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved the day, alright. I didn't have the foot sealed properly. I am so grateful for your help.
My pleasure Thanks for supporting the channel

Really enjoyed watching your presentation! now hopefully it will help my suction problem...

I’m assuming if you have weak suction right at the source that your motor is on its way out? Just trying to get mine sorted. Many thanks
Thanks a million i was able to get suction by cleaning the red thing 🎉
Brilliant followed your advice and sorted the problem out saved hours in trying to work through myself thank you…

Thank you for the video. My pro Heat 2x tank was cracked. I never considered that as a possibility until I saw this video. Also I did not know that hot water could damage the tank over time.
You’re welcome
Thanks Bro simple and make since work for no suction issues , still a lot of lint balls I just can’t get these sucked up✌🏾
The only thing that worked for me was to vacuum. Vacuum longer than usual to remove a much loose fibers and dirt as possible, and then shampoo.
thank you for explaining all that. I was at a loss now I know.
Is there anyway to disassemble the head to actually clean where the water goes up the face? there are 2 screws and a clip on the bottom but I’m afraid to pry on it lol

When I plug my Bissell pro heat plus in to the outlet and turned it on A lot of smoke comes out of it what causes that problem

Hi. I bought a second hand Bissell ready clean. I used it today for the first time. The dirty water tank did not fill up and the carpet was soaking wet after cleaning it

Get a screw driver and remove the clear plastic nozzles from the front and side of the unit. Specifically the front and left side( the left if you are standing behind the Shampooer) your belt may be broken
Thank you!!!
I'm still having issues with my bissel proheat 2x
I've cleaned and checked everything in your video but it still has no suction, the tool option works still wonderfully but the floor cleaner option still doesn't work
If the motor has suction the the next step is the tank. Try taking the nozzle off. Remove the screw that hold the main nozzle to the base and remove the nozzle. Then put the tank back on the unit. Turn the machine on to check if the suction is reaching the section where the nozzle should connect. Use a paper or plastic to test suction. If good suction then the problem is the nozzle if not then look to the tank. Keep me posted
Can you tell me how to clean dirt out where the knob is to turn from floor to tool on a bissell pro heat 2x max . It’s a little older model . I can’t get to that area to clean it
That’s a tough one. I’ve tried long plastic zip ties. It’s an odd spot. I’ll have to look into it more
Hello Mr. Monroe; I have a Bissell 253A Series and recently I have a problem. When I was cleaning my bedroom carpet I have noticed the dirty water isn't sucking into the blader-container. Can you please help or answer my question how to fix the problem? Thanks Armine
Sorry for delayed response-Model 25A3 - diagnostic can start at the motor. Take off the tank turn on the unit and check the suction at the opening . Then check your tank for crack or the lid to make sure it closes properly. Next put the tank on but remove the front nozzle window and check the opening that joins / connects to the window. If all those check out and has suction that the next step is a put the window back and check to see if it will suck up water, if not replace the window. How that helps
Ours is a pro 2x lift off pet.
I don’t have suction through the hose. How would you go about fixing that?
Hmmm.. I have a playlist Bissell tips. That focus on suction through the hose please visit that playlist to see if one of those videos can help. If not let me know
I have a brand new Revolution Pet Pro . It sprays, but does very little pick up, if any at all! And when done the machine leaked all over my floor...so, any hints how I might trouble shoot this? Thank you!:) But going to go back and check it all through with gaskets etc.
Hi I have a playlist with a video that should help. Covers suction problems with Bissell Revolution . See Bissell tips playlist
@@monroevacs Hey that was sure fast!! And thank you! I just can't go and buy a new unit, so, thank you for putting up such great videos! Helps those of us who like to fix our own stuff! Anyway, I will check this out. I do have an idea I want to try on the leaking top canister...can one lubricate it with some silicone grease so the rubber part might seal better? Sometimes plastic/rubber gets too dry...so I am thinking of trying to lubricate it to help it to seal. Spending 100 + for a canister that might not work, again, is not a great option! Thanks for your fast reply!!:) Cheers Bro!
Wayne .., I have a " Bissell Deep Clean Deluxe PET " with the solution bag inside the container while the container itself collects the sucked-up solution. But theirs NO dirty water being sucked in the container. Where's it going .., what's happening ❓❓❓
Interesting David. My first question - is the carpet still wet long after shampooing. Also when you are sucking up the water, you should see water shooting up the clear nozzle. If not..then the true question is: is it sucking up the water at all. You may have a suction issue. A seal. A crack or a clog. Do a little experiment and let me know. Check the carpet after you shampoo and check the nozzle while shampooing.
@@monroevacs NO.., it isn't but I don't understand it. The solution is all gone but NO dirty water in the tank. I know when I'm shampooing theirs alot of " foam ".., and it settles.
Foam? Bissell solution don’t produce a lot of foam. They’re extraction machines so they use foam less solution. Are you using detergent or dry foam solution? Bissell and Hoover should use foam-less solutions. Double check your solution
@@monroevacs I'm using a Bissell cleaner that comes in a small gray plastic bottle.
@@trumpmypresident4721 ok, That is odd, so lets then focus on the suction then. The water is either going into the container or its in the carper. For the sake of ruling out mysterious happenings we would assume one or the other. Trust if the water was being redirected elsewhere, you would know. You'd find spills or your motor would seize up. try shampooing with just water (no solution) and do a spot check. check the nozzle while trying to pick up the water and check the carper for excess water. we can start there.
In the bissell proheat pet how is the spinner supposed to work??? Also is the brush roll supposed to wiggle all over or be stationary??? Great video I'm having suction problems so I'm off to start troubleshooting... I'm putting water down picking some up but not as much as I'm putting down and my spinner isnt moving... I also cant tell if my brush is moving but I'm going to try to check and see... it's been a while a long while since I've used the machine... great video I really appreciate it...
Keep me posted you’re off to a good start
Mine isn't suctioning up, but blows air underneath. It has suction and followed all steps mentioned and still isn't suctioning up water. Should air be blowing out of the bottom of the machine???
Shampooer and vacuums all has exhaust. So expect some air to be blown out of the unit. Use my contact page on my website and send me a video. Without seeing it in action it’s hard to properly diagnose the problem
How can I order a new red flap cover for that filter that keeps water out of the motor in this video?
a slight delay on shipping but you can order at square.link/u/vHCaRCLU
This helped a lot thank you?
Glad it helped. 🙂
Great day! I have a proheat pet turbo. Just got it out the box & theres no power. WHAT CAN I DO 😩😩
I wouldn’t touch it. Call Bissell and utilize the warranty. They’ll either forward you to the nearest warranty center or send you a replacement
