Having problems with the spray function on your Proheat 2x Revolution Pet carpet cleaner? It’s a common issue, but often easily fixed with some simple troubleshooting steps. As pet owners ourselves, we at pets.edu.vn understand how frustrating it can be when your cleaning tools aren’t working correctly, especially when dealing with pet messes. Fortunately, for 90% of common machine issues, a bit of maintenance and checking a few key components can get your BISSELL® ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro back to spraying and cleaning effectively.
Before diving into detailed steps, remember that issues with spray can often be traced back to a couple of main culprits:
- General Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of your BISSELL products are crucial.
- Clean Water Tank Damage: A damaged clean water tank, perhaps warped or cracked, can disrupt the water flow and cause spray problems.
- Clogged Spray Tips: Whether on the machine itself or any attachments, clogged spray tips are a frequent cause of reduced or non-existent spray.
Let’s troubleshoot your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet and get it spraying again! Follow these steps to diagnose and resolve no or low spray issues.
Are you experiencing the spray issue from the foot of the cleaner or the hose attachment?
Inspecting the Clean Water Tank of Your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet
A properly functioning clean water tank is essential for your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet to spray correctly. Damage or improper installation can lead to spray problems.
Important Note: Avoid using excessively hot water in the tank or microwaving it. High temperatures can warp the tank, creating gaps and preventing proper water flow in your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet.
Here’s how to inspect your clean water tank:
- Power Down: Turn your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet OFF and unplug it from the power outlet for safety.
- Fill the Tank: Remove the clean water tank and fill it with water as directed in your user manual.
- Check for Damage: Carefully examine the clean water tank for any signs of cracks, warping, or other damage. Pay close attention to the tank’s shape and integrity.
- Test the Valve: Locate the red valve on the bottom of the clean water tank. Push up on it to ensure water flows freely. A blocked or sticky valve can restrict water supply.
- Reinstall Securely: Reinstall the clean water tank, making sure it’s firmly pushed back into its position. There should be no gaps between the tank and the machine. A loose tank can prevent proper water suction.
If the tank seems fine, proceed to the next troubleshooting step.
Cleaning the Spray Tips on Your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet
Clogged spray tips are a very common reason for spray issues with the ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet. Debris or dried cleaning solution can block the nozzles, preventing proper spray. Cleaning them is a straightforward process.
- Identify Your Model Number: Locate the information label on your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet and find the model number. This will determine the type of nozzle your machine has and the correct cleaning procedure.
- Remove the Nozzle Brush Cover: The removal method depends on your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet model number.
| Model Number Starts with 1 or 2 | Model Number Starts with 3 > Nozzle & Cover Combined |
|---|---|
| – Non-Integrated Nozzle: Pull up on the nozzle release latch to detach and remove the nozzle. |
- Clean the Spray Tips: Now that you have access to the spray tips, carefully clean them.
| Model Number Starts with 1 or 2 | Model Number Starts with 3 > Nozzle & Cover Combined |
|---|---|
| – Spray Tip Location: The spray tips are located on the underside of the brush cover. – Debris Removal: Remove any visible debris from the spray tips. – Use a Brush or Cloth: Use a cloth or an old toothbrush to gently scrub away any blockage from the spray tips. |
After cleaning, reassemble the nozzle and brush cover.
Testing for Spray Functionality on Your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet
After checking the tank and cleaning the spray tips, it’s time to test if your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet is spraying correctly again.
- Prime the Pump: Switch between all cleaning modes on your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet five times. Move the switch all the way up and down repeatedly. This action helps prime the spray pump and remove airlocks.
- Select Max Clean Mode: Ensure your machine is set to MAX or Deep Clean mode. These modes are designed to dispense more water compared to the Express Clean mode, which is helpful for testing spray functionality.
- Check Spray Port: With the machine still turned OFF, hold the spray trigger for 15 seconds to check for water at the spray port. Press and hold the spray trigger on the handle to prime the machine.
- Observe Water Flow: While holding the trigger, check if water is flowing from the spray port.
Is water flowing from the spray port after 15 seconds?
- No water spray: If there’s still no spray, unfortunately, these troubleshooting steps haven’t resolved the issue. But don’t worry, BISSELL can still assist you. Reach out to BISSELL support for further assistance specific to your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet model and issue.
Inspecting the Spray Nozzle on the Foot of Your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet
If you’re experiencing spray issues from the foot of your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet, follow these steps to inspect and potentially resolve the problem:
Important Note: Again, avoid using excessively hot water as it can damage the tank.
- Power Down and Fill Tank: Turn OFF and unplug your machine. Ensure the clean water tank is filled.
- Check Tank Again: Inspect the clean water tank again for cracks, warping, or damage, and check the red valve as described earlier. Reinstall the tank securely.
- Remove Hose: Detach the hose from the foot of the machine by pressing the hose release button and gently pulling the hose away.
- Remove Foot Nozzle: Remove the nozzle located on the foot of your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet.
- Prime Spray Port: Locate the spray port underneath where the nozzle was attached. Use a pen or similar object to gently insert and prime the spray port until water flows out. This action helps clear any blockages in the port itself.
- Reassemble Foot Nozzle: Reattach the nozzle to the foot, ensuring it is securely locked into place.
| Model Number Starts with 1 or 2 | Model Number Starts with 3 > Nozzle & Cover Combined |
|---|---|
| – Brush Cover First: Insert the brush cover until you hear a click. Push on both sides of the nozzle to ensure it’s fully installed. | – Insert and Click: Firmly insert the nozzle until it clicks into place. Align the plastic nozzle pieces with the insert path next to the release buttons. |
- Clean and Reattach Hose: Clean the end of the hose and reattach it to the foot of the machine. Make sure the hose release clip is facing away from the machine for proper connection.
- Clean Hose Tool Spray Tip: If you use the hose attachment, remove any tool from the hose by pressing the release button. Clean the spray tip on the hose handle itself, as this can also become clogged.
Testing Spray Functionality – Hose and Foot of Your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet
Now that you’ve addressed potential issues with both the foot and hose nozzles, let’s test the spray function again.
Testing Hose Spray:
- Remove Tool and Power On: Ensure any tool is removed from the hose. Plug in your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet and turn it ON.
- Lay Hose Flat: Lay the hose flat on the ground or below the level of the clean water tank. This helps with priming.
- Hold Spray Trigger: Press and hold the spray trigger on the hose handle to prime the machine and check for spray. Remember, the trigger must be held continuously to dispense water.
Testing Foot Spray:
- Power On and Recline: Plug in your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet and turn it ON. Recline the handle into the cleaning position.
- Set to Max Clean: Set the cleaning mode to Max Clean. This mode provides the highest spray volume for testing.
- Hold Trigger and Move: Hold the spray trigger for 15 seconds to initiate spray. As you hold the trigger, slowly move the machine forward and backward over the same area about three times. Move at a slow pace (approximately 8 inches or 20 cm per second) to ensure even spray distribution and proper suction. This speed is roughly the length of your foot per second.
Check for Spray and Solution Flow
- Observe Solution Flow: Check if cleaning solution is flowing through the front nozzle and into the dirty water tank.
Note: It’s normal that not all solution sprayed onto the carpet will be immediately suctioned up. The amount of suctioned solution can vary based on carpet pile height and other factors.
- Check Carpet Wetness: Feel the cleaned area of the carpet with your hand to check for dampness. If the carpet is wet, it indicates that your ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet is now spraying.
