My ReadyClean deep cleaning machine is not suctioning properly. What should I check?

Answer: We’re sorry you’re experiencing no suction with your ReadyClean machine. Please try these steps to assist with your machine.

• If no suction on carpet, but good suction on bare floor, the bare floor tool may be attached. Remove bare floor tool, and there should be suction on the carpet.
• Ensure the collection tank is empty.
• Check for debris in the red rectangular gasket at the motor intake underneath the collection tank and remove as needed.

• Check for suction at the motor intake. If no suction at motor intake, please take your machine to a BISSELL Authorized Service Center.
• If there is suction at the motor intake:
 o Check the foam filter in the collection tank for debris and clean or replace as needed.

 o Ensure the collection tank is not damaged, full of debris or dirty water, and is installed properly.

 o Ensure the floor nozzle is not damaged, not full of debris, and is properly installed.

     
  
 o Check for suction at the floor by pouring a small amount of water on a hard surface floor. Consumer should see water going into the collection tank.

 o If there is still no suction, please take your machine to a BISSELL Authorized Service Center.
