Join Josh as he diagnoses and repairs a Bissell Big Green Shampooer! In this video, Josh focuses on troubleshooting and fixing issues where the machine puts down liquid but doesn’t pick it up. He walks you through several tests to identify the problem and repairs the lower hose in the machine. If your machine isn’t dispensing any liquid, that’s a different issue—be sure to check out our Bissell Repair Playlist linked below for more repair guides!
