Bissell Carpet Shampooer Isn't Working?

I have a Bissell shampooer and it will not release the water, but it will suck up the water. What is the problem?

I have had one of these for the last 4 years, and it has never worked properly, it has been to Service 2000 (repairers) a minimum of 6 times, and has never been fixed properly. It has, yet again stopped squirting water out, so before I threw it in the skip, I decided to have a go at repairing it myself, what I found was a kink in one of the water pipes, the pipe goes inside the main body of the machine, very close to where the heater is, it seems, that when the heater gets hot, it softens the rubber pipe, allowing it to bend over on itself, starving the pump of water.

I have removed the heater as I believe it offers little in the way the machine operates, and have cut the kink out of the damaged pipe, joined it together with a connector removed from the heater, and re-routed the pipe to avoid any sharp bends, hey presto, it squirts water out!!! Now why couldn't Bissell have worked that one out?

Thanks Bob. After taking all the hoses off the heater and cleaning them, I still couldn't get a spray except from the tool attachment. I then checked the spray nozzles, as suggested. Both nozzles were clogged. Now it runs fine. Thanks again.

Bissel little green wont spray... we did all trouble shooting tips & found clean water leaking out the bottom machine. The seal is bad on plug itself. Wrapped it w plumbers tape & runs as good as day we purchase it. Love this machine!

Have tried cleaning it etc. to no avail. Sorry, I can't help.
