My machine often gets plugged and won't spray. Solutions?

Hrm... we haven't had this happen to us, but my husband is hard-core about cleaning it after every use, especially since most of our uses involve kid or pet messes. Their website suggests using a paperclip to clean out the spray tip in case of a clog. There appears to be more suggestions here: www.bissell.com/FAQDetail.aspx?id=1191

I have never had this problem, but I would guess that your carpet or upholstery still has a lot of knap on it, like it is when new. this comes off in cleaning in big clumps of the filler . Once the fabric is cleaned by a large carpet cleaner you will probably not have this problem.

Cannot answer that. I've only used it for a few days. I used my sisters similar one and she has never had that problem. Sorry

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

This has happened to me on 2 misters and the second one was hardly used. I think it is the electric cord that is the problem because I tried the new cord on the first mister and it worked.

Make sure that the little rubble black thing is solidly inside the opening in the back above the usb connection. If you have used it before, sediment may be clogging the tiny little hole where the mist comes out. I use a paperclip or something else that is slightly sharp to scrape across the hole to clear it. Usually this takes care of the problem and it will start misting after about 5 to ten minutes.

Mine works some of the time! I just use a spray bottle of bona and spray in front of the mop

I have never had that problem but with all machines unplug it and wait two minutes and restart it and see if that clears the problem.

I use a clean spray bottle that had a spray cleaner in it. Make sure it's clean.

I don't have that issue with mine, however, I would try to see if the top part of the spray system can be unscrew, or we can use the end of a staple to clear the drain holes from particle

I have had some trouble like you described. I cured mine by shorting the hose. The directions give some hints along that line.

Mr. Richards, I have not had that problem. I can suggest to spray it with StaticGuard and see if that helps. Let me know.

sounds like there is a problem with your chip. try combinations of installing while machine is on and off. if it doesn't work, contact the dealer of the cartridges, they were helpful to me.

Sorry to be the banter of bad news, but it does sound as though you have a defective unit. The good news is you are still under warranty. Do not waste another minute; call the store where you bought it and have it returned. This device is a no brainer; you plug it up, turn it on and watch it go...the spray should work with ease and percision. Buying defective items does happen in life; sorry you had to experience that. Best wishes with everything.

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

Have you checked to make sure its not plugged anywhere? I run hot water from the machine thru mine periodically to keep it free from plugs. I use mine daily!

Mine has done this also. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery terminals solved my problem. I also used dialectic grease on the terminals.

Try unplugging the controller from the outlet. Let it reset for 30 seconds or so and plug it back in. I use this unit regularly on projects and that has worked for me in the past.

I've had it happen a couple of times and just shut it off and restart it and it always works. I also lubricate them three times a week like they recommend.
