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. 😀
Wow. I am a DIY guy that make various stuff -electronics to programing and automations. This is one of the most clear video I have ever seen. Great stuff man. Keep it up

Huge help! After getting no assistance from
Bissell and their warranty department, this was my saving grace. Thanks!
I am a DIYer and watch a lot of how to videos. A lot. This is by far the best one I have ever watched. Never did the repair person assume that we knew what he was talking about. 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!
Thanks 👍
By far the best troubleshooting video I've seen on youtube. Not only troubleshooting but a superb explanation of how a steam mop works. Keep up the great work!

This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen, thank you so much. I got my mop taken apart myself, but I chickened out at actually taking the heater apart until I watched this. It was completely clogged up with hard water deposits.

I never ever leave TH-cam comments. Now I can never write that again.... I am usually the type to watch these videos, get stuck on a torn gasket or missing spring and junk it. Not this time. Your video was so detailed and informative I never gave up and was able to completely repair the wife’s steam mop. Had to use the red rev because sure enough my gasket came apart when opening. Thank you for putting this out there.
Great to hear my video helped you! Please return the favor by watching one of my video playlists below, and sharing my channel with many others. Thanks!

Fantastic walk through. Did a full service to our machine after 2 years of ownership and everything is functioning like new now!

I'm watching this today Oct 28 2023 and have two of these to repair at this time. Without this tutorial I would never tackle something like this myself. Steam is a different animal , but you did a great job of explaining things. Thanks. Probably best to have some Red RTV on hand, regardless.
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
Be sure to watch my other videos and share my channel. Thank you!
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 :)
Thanks! Ignore the thumbs down votes. On my channel, like many other channels, there are trolls, channel haters, and other lowlifes to contend with. :-) You more than likely have the holes inside the heating unit plugged up.
Yes, that's what the problem was, as stated in my original post :) Perhaps you didn't hit the 'Show more' link, but it's fixed and working like it should now. Again, thank you!
Bryan Nin I read your post quickly. I thought you were referring to the mop head openings. :-)
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
Wow! We are very impressed with this instructional video. You speak clearly and slowly, your camera angles are great and you go into very good detail. Good job!
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!
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.

Omg. This guy is amazing. I wish all vids were made with such precision and patience. I wasn’t able to separate the heater even after opening the screws. Seems like it was glued right. But I injected vinegar overnight and it works like a charm.
In fact I was looking for a video to repair my fabric steamer. I couldn't fine any better one. This exactly the same technology of the fabric steamer and Thank You so much for the nice explanation. By the way I'm still struggling to remove the corroded thermal switch.
Best video I’ve seen on TH-cam for this bissell steamer. THANK YOU
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.
Many thanks for this comprehensive video. I now feel confident in being able to successfully disassemble and troubleshoot my Bissell 1940 steam mop which is leaking water from the pressure relief vent as well as producing very little steam.
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.
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!! Kudos to you. Thanks for sharing this video!!! Probably saved me a couple hundred dollars on service repair!
Great to hear. Be sure to share my channel with others, rate thumbs up, and subscribe. Thanks
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!
Best repair video to date. This guys a pro! Great editing.

I just paypalled $5 to you, after using my back-from-the-dead Bissell Steam Mop. You created a quality video - thank you.
Glad my video helped you! That was very nice of you. Not many people reach into their pockets to show their appreciation when a person helps them by creating a video, or taking the time to answer their question. Thank you, and stay safe!
Thank you for this thorough and educational video. You helped me troubleshoot my steam mop and unclog the pinholes in the heater. You are so much more helpful than the Bissell customer service reps I talked to.
Has to be a blockage there.
Thanks so much! I love your detailed troubleshooting, clear camera shots, and how you explain how everything is supposed to work.

Wow this fixed my steamer. Appreciate this detail video. I soaked the heating element in vinegar over night. It was covered in minerals and “white chalk”. Lesson learned, only use distilled water! 😬 Thank you!

Corrosion will still happen: This maintenance is just a norm. Mineral deposits will make it happen sooner but corrosion still is unavoidable and needs some good abrasion to clean and get back in order.
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!
Peter Morris What a horror. Glad my video helped you!
Your video deserves my first and only TH-cam like and comments. Two thumbs up.
Great to hear Paul!
Awesome video. An hour and a half of my time saved me from buying a new mop. Pretty sure I can do it in under an hour next time. 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
This video is a reason why I have hope for humanity.

Thank you for the very helpful video. I'm dripping out of the hood on the rear and, although I've always used distilled water, I suspect there's a blockage in the heating element. I'll tear into it to clean it with some CLR.

You do not need to take the heater apart to clean the small holes at the discharge end. Simply remote the hose barb brass fitting. Once removed the CLR will clean off the minerals and if necessary use a pin to further insure the holes are clean. But excellent repair video.
Excellent precise speaker that explains everything in complete orderly details. Very impressive!

I also have a Bissell power fresh deluxe and now it doesn't steam. I hear the pump on lower and high setting when selected but no steam comes out. 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. Thank you so much for the informative video.
Sounds clogged up. Thanks for watching!
hi electronic nmore.i just wanted to say that you did a great job in explaining every little thing in how it works and what the problem would be. excellent im very impressed. not many people explain so clearly and precise in their videos.well done great job. 10 out of 10. at least I know with your videos im not wasting my time. thats about it. Keep it up. Best of luck.

I fixed my deluxe floor steamer with your useful video. Thank you!
The bottom brass fitting inside the heater tank with the 4 holes and the black "elbow" fitting to which it attaches were clogged with some solids and some weirdly sticky substance.
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you!!
Glad you think so! You're very welcome
excellent comprehensive competent explanation and tutorial. Much appreciated.
Excellent video! Very well done. I just cleaned out the heater and it works like new, thanks again.

Thank you! Fixed mine. I wasn't able to get the heater apart, but I was able to remove the fittings at the top and bottom. I put a little vinegar in and let it soak overnight, cleaned with a pipe cleaner and it seems to be working well.
Glad it helped!
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!
I would make sure there are no other blockages.
@@electronicsNmore If there is a blockage, it's in the pump itself. Your test is good at isolating the pump. I did confirm that the water is flowing from the tank fine.
Big thanks! Fixed my steam mop in under 30mins.

Great video. My mop has seemed to have lost a lot of steam power. Still works but not putting out nearly as moisture. Hopefully this will help me get it back to normal
Definitely sounds clogged!
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! :)
Glad it worked. CLR has acid, so you shouldn't really use it, it can eat up the heating element.
@@electronicsNmore Ah ok, thank you very much for this advice!
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!
James Culp Great to hear. Be sure to rate thumbs up, share my channel with others, and check out my video playlists. Thanks!
Arrived on time, easy assembly, steam is strong and it gets the job done🌼 OMG! Didn't have any idea how dirty my floors were. The scrub brush makes cleaning grout a breeze and gets paint off tile floors.
Smart that you watched the repair video just after buying one.
Thanks ! Just tiled the kitchen, next purchase is one of these mops. Now I can maintain it for long life.

@@electronicsNmore Yep, you shared expert knowledge in a succinct and clear manner. I just tried to get the back cover off our steam mop and found that the manufacturer has used a pair of tamper-proof torx screws to discourage guys like me. I'll have to buy a hollow-tipped torx driver before I can proceed further.
great tear-down, did help a lot, thanks😀

Thanks! I fixed my mop. Think the heating element was clogged? I struggle with snapping the cover back on. But it was fun.
Concise helpful video.. You may have sent some sideways with ohms readings when relative to voltage.. 240v land should expect 38 ish ohms for element.
I'm going to take a look at mine.the pump isn't pumping, but I can feel heat building up at the base. This video should help me figure out if the pump is bad.
I just unclogged mine following the video. Thank you.
Cesar Marin Be sure to rate thumbs up and share my channel. Thanks!
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.
Hopefully it didn't eat into the heating element. Thanks for watching!

This was so helpful! Thank you
Fantastic video, so comprehensive and informative! But I goofed: I didn't remove the small red silicone caps when removing the heater cover and lost one! Argh! I don't think I can put it back together without it. What can I possibly do?
Glad you liked it! You'll need to use something similar that can tolerate heat. Either form a new cap using GE silicone, or find a silicone tube of the same size that you can cut.
@@electronicsNmore Thank you for the advice. Silicone that I find is all purpose caulk. Would that work? Thanks in advance! You are really helpful!
Thank you for your help! I will try my best!! 🤷♀️🤦♀️😭🙏
Good luck!
My heater screws are so corroded I cannot remove them without stripping them. I guess it cannot be fixed then. This was a great video. Thank you.
Grab the bolt head using vise grips and unscrew them. Make sure the vise grips are very tight.
This is really great.
Thanks!
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^)
