    Fixed. Thanks. I'll start using distilled water. I have a 15441 model with the same exact heater that was leaking out the relief valve with very little steam coming out. I didn't take the heater apart. I removed the hoses and using a pump spray bottle, forced vinegar into the output and input holes and also using a paperclip in the holes. I let it sit for a half hour with the vinegar in the heater and put the hoses back on and it put out steam like it was new and no leaks. 😀

Explained everything in detail and in such a way that a beginner could understand. I feel equipped with the knowledge because of this video to troubleshoot my steam mop. Thanks for such a clear, concise video. I will definitely check out your other videos!

    I just finished putting my Bissell steam mop back together. The plunger on the heater was so crystalized with the spring on and wouldn't come off. I submerged the heater in boiling white vinegar for about ten to fifteen minutes after disassembling in two pieces. I honestly i got a table spoon of calcium powder from the inside of the heater that's how bad it was. Did all the checks with the meter and everything was ok. It is now working like a charm.Thanks for your awesome video. Anyone who gives negative remarks on your video can suck it..God bless

    Excellent video! Since my unit was no longer producing adequate steam from the mop head (water was dripping out of the back), I was going to disassemble it on my own and try to figure out the issue, or else it was headed for the dumpster anyways. Your video was VERY helpful in using as a reference while disassembling/reassembling. Very detailed, yet not repetitive/boring. Straight to the point. Thumbs up! Not sure why it even has 3 thumbs downs -- maybe Bissell wants everyone to spend more $ on a new one lol.
    I just wanted to say that I've only EVER used distilled water in mine, yet I still had a fair amount of corrosion and crud inside of the heater unit. I'm not sure if it's just the result of cheap products, as seems to be the case with 95% of the items we buy today. I soaked mine in vinegar, scrubbed the inside of the housing out, rinsed it, and made sure those 4 little holes were unclogged before reassembling. Seems to work like brand new now. Having to do this every couple of years will be a pain, but I'm not ready to toss this one out yet :)

      I think people get corrosion and mineral deposits confused: Corrosion is going to happen as they clearly do nothing for corrosion resistance. I've now read hundreds of posts saying the same of distilled water, ergo, corrosion still happens with the absence of minerals --two different things. Either way was glad someone had a full disassembly

    I have the same model and it started leaking out of the back on me. After contacting Bissell and receiving zero help besides sending me a new tank. I decided to take apart the machine. My problem was inside the high pressure relief valve. The little plastic piece was broken around the lip where the o ring sits. Without any help from Bissell nor a vacuum parts company, I decided to make my own plastic piece out of stainless steel shelf support dowel. Measured with a micrometer and transfered the measurements to the stainless steel piece. Works like a charm and zero leaks. I suggest if your unit is leaking from the back and your tank is okay with zero cracks, you should check this high pressure relief valve first!

  • @patriciagordon6306

    Thank you for this excellent tutorial. My steam mop was leaking so much water out of the hooded vent at the back that I was getting hardly any steam from the mop head. Following this video my husband took apart the heater which was badly corroded inside, cleaned it and the badly corroded copper needle through which the steam escapes. My mop now works like new. Thanks again.

    Be sure to remove and clean the orange rubber washer at the bottom of the heater cover at 17:47. It looks white because of the calcium build-up on it. It will cause a loss if steam pressure at the mop head and water to drip out of the pressure relief port located under the SN# label on the back cover.

  • @lyndhurstbodden
    @lyndhurstbodden 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @jessicatricker1900

    Thank you thank you!! Mine was spitting out hot water from the back. This video helped me fix it. The hardest part was taking the 6 screws off the heater. Had to soak and pull for a while but eventually it came apart.

  • @Ciserus
    @Ciserus 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    To answer a lot of people's question about the fuse and thermal switch discussed at 23:24, here are the specs I saw when I disassembled:
    The thermal switch is model KSD301, 16A, 125V. Below that info is written 150, which might be degrees Celsius, but I don't know for sure.
    The thermal fuse is an AUPO BF192-I rated for 192 Celsius. It doesn't say the amperage and these fuses seem to come in at least 10A and 16A variants.
    I'm going to try to find a local store where they can hopefully find exact matches that won't burn my house down.
    People, don't run these mops when they're out of water. Somebody ran mine dry and these parts blew.
    Thank you for the excellent video.

    The blow off valve was leaking on mine...disassembled following this video cleaned a years worth of calcified dust from the bowl (bottom portion of the inside of the heater) reassembled, powered up with no leaks and twice the steam!!

      My wife's mop had the same symptom. I found that the small orange o-ring that was not removed from the bottom of the cover was not sealing the output pressure of the heater to the mop head. I removed and cleaned and lubricated the rubber washer and reassembled. Working fine!

    @petermorris6052 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video. Awesome! My wife's church had purchased one of these units for cleaning the office floors. However, the individual who does that was not given the instruction guide or any verbal instructions. She apparently thought it was a complete mop replacement, so (I think) when it came time to wax the floor, in went the wax (or something) and the unit stopped producing steam. Don't know when that happened, but yesterday, my wife brought it home for me to look at. The only water that came out was dripping form the back. Thanks to your extremely well detailed instructions, I disassembled the unit down to the boiler... OMG... what a mess. The wax (or whatever it was) had adhered to the heater (fortunately, enough tap water had been through the machine first that there was a layer of calcium which I was able to flake off, taking most of the wax with it, but the tank I had to laboriously scrape with a small mechanic's pick and a couple of different sized screwdrivers. The steam tube was clogged and that was another mess to clean. Then there was the ceramic pressure valve, which was stuck to the inlet seat. I finally resorted to pounding it out with a ball peen hammer and a large hex key. Yikes. Looks ok, however. Tomorrow, after I get some hi-temp RTV, it'll all go back together and I'll find out if I wasted my time. Thanks again!

Mine had a large amount of scale inside since I've never used distilled water. I will from now on. I put all of the scaled up pieces in my ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with some vinegar and water and ran them through a couple of cycles. They came out close to brand new. Thanks again

I am going to open up the heating unit which is most likely plugged and follow your steps on your video and give it a shot. Will let you know how it turns out. Ironic thing is I was with the Bissell support center today and they couldn't help me, told me it's out of warranty and the machine is old. And now I some how stumbled on your video.

    Great video. My heater had like a teaspoon of powder/flakes at the bottom and was a mess. After cleaning that up, I put it all back together and was confident it would work. But it didn't. Took it apart again and tested the pump. It makes all the right sounds but just dribbles water. I can't find a replacement for the pump only. This video has 169K views. There must be 100K of these in landfills, and most probably have perfectly good pumps. Unfortunately, it looks like we're just going to have to buy a whole new unit. At least we now know that using distilled water is a must!

    THis guide was extremely helpful with the disassembly of my steam mop. I had a lack of steam. on mine, the port inside of the heater, the smaller one to the side of the big one with the spring check valve, was totally clogged. Cleared it out with a screwdriver and kapow, steam! Thank you again!

    Thank you so much for this! Mine was not producing steam, and I am not sure what I fixed when I followed this step by step (minus the power testing things), as none of the tubes were clogged or much else wrong with it, but maybe some slight cleaning I did along the way helped. Ran a short mix of CLR + distilled water through it after reassembling and works like new now. Thank you again, what a lifesaver! :)

    • @electronicsNmore

    Awesome video. My model #1940 made all the same sounds as when new but no steam or even water passing through it. I disassembled the unit just like the video and found the culprit. My pump would make noise but water wouldn't come out. I removed the two electrical terminals and pulled the center section from the coil assembly. After removing it I found this pump could be accessed with slight rotation then pulled apart. If you do this there are a lot of parts and they need to go back together the same way. I found a very small piece of plastic between the piston and the cylinder. Problem solved! Thank you for the video. The Steam Mop is a feat of engineering from packaging to servicing! Thanks Doug!

    I watched the video and began to dismantle the steamer as per the video. When I got to the heater one of the screw heads were stripped during installation. I put everything back together and as a last ditch effort I ran half CLR and half distilled water thru the steamer on either the 2nd or 3rd try a burst of steam came out. On the third try out. I continued to do this till clear fluid and steam came out. I than ran straight distilled water thru to make sure the machine was clear. Machine works perfect now.

    So this video helped me fix a bad connection on the pump of a brand new PureSteam ThermaPro 211. It was dead on arrival. Warranty sent out a new working unit but did not want the defective unit back. So, I took it apart! Not having a clue what I was doing, I found this video and isolated a bad connection to the pump. I fixed the connection, only because of this video. The mop now works good as new and I only received one minor burn as a result of fixing the connection. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with people who want to fix their own stuff. 8^)
