    Bissel Green Machine repair

    Well the other day I went to clean some rugs and my Little Green Machine wasn`t spraying water. A few days later when I had some time, I took it apart, all the way down to the heater core. When I got there some soap had dried inside, which needed to be cleaned out. Afterwords, it cleaned much better than before, and I realized that it had been slowly clogging up.

    I just thought I would post this in case anyone else was having problems with the machine.

    My wand gets plugged up once in a while but I have a little brush that cleans that up. Mine just stopped lifting the other day so I`m thinking about taking it apart to see what it is or sending it in for repairs

    One thing I did notice when using the Little Green is the small brush head has better lift then the tubro head.

    Beemer are they worth sending in for repairs ? I just bought mine about a month ago on ebay for $66 shipped. I would think repair costs could easliy supass that.

    I was going to buy a new one, but taking it apart was so simple. All that you need is a screw driver and some time. A little bit of viniger helped clean the tube, and everthing works great now.

    Mine stopped lifting so now I`m wondering if something is stoppped up not allowing it to suck. I`m going to take it apart and see is I can celan it out and see if that does the trick. Mine sprays with no problem so that`s not an issue
