Troubleshooting: Bissell Little Green Not Spraying
If squeezing the handle trigger produces no water spray, follow these 3 quick troubleshooting steps.
Quick Fix Steps:
- Check Clean Tank Valve: Ensure the clean water tank is firmly seated into the base unit so the bottom rubber gasket valve depresses fully.
- Clear Clogged Spray Nozzle: Mineral buildup or dried soap can clog the small spray tip on the tough stain tool. Remove nozzle tip and clear with a sewing pin.
- Prime an Airlocked Pump: If the machine was run empty, air can lock the pump. Fill tank with warm water, seat firmly, hold trigger for 30 seconds while gently pressing down on clean tank top.
