Great video - I have a mature Bissell 8910 that wouldn't spray water. Disassembly was slightly different but your video provided the solution. The heater internals were severely clogged and your hint to check the hose connectors to ensure they weren't clogged was valuable as they were also clogged. Good as new again. BIG Thanks.

Advice is never to add vinegar as it can cause pump issues

Mine was a plugged up heater too. Spent hours taking everything apart - wish I would have gone straight to the heater first.

Thanks much appreciated, had the same issue today with mine. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TheFalazure]

was wondering where the heater was on mine; I am having this exact issue, which means it is likely exactly this issue, but i had no idea where that heater was...probably going to save me a few bucks here.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

What is your model number?

It looked like it is scale built-up. Was it hard/crunchy or soft build-up. I'm wondering and if vinegar in is in the clean water mixture that it could also possibly prevent it. Thanks for the video. I'm working on my little green machine that was clogged up.

I have the exact model in your video. The problem with mine is when i first turn it on it sprays like normal, then after 2-3 seconds it turns to a dribble then stops coming out. If i turn it off and back on it repeats that process. I tried cleaning the heating unit with no success. Any ideas?

Hey, thanks for your content. Had an older model followed the video. It was a bit conked up in the heater unit, cleaned that out nozzles were also clogged. Put it all back together now the water will not stop spraying. Is there anything I can attempt to do? Besides purchase a new one

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

I’m not sure. I’ve never run into this sort of issue.

[@czechzican]

hi, i have a model 9300b that has suction but won't spray from either the floor or the hose. i can't find any videos for that issue. it's either one or the other. any idea what the problem might be?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Probably a clogged heater. That’s a long video. I’ve contemplated recording one but just haven’t done it yet.

[@Freedom-kt1hz]

Hi I have same machine, mine sprays the water but doesn’t dry
How do I fix it? Thank you 🙏

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Not sure. It could be many different causes. Check your filter screen. Red plastic screen looking part inside your recovery tank.

[@mikeleduc683]

Not quite sure. Only thought is perhaps the valve is stuck open
