Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Leaking Water From Bottom – Why and How To Fix It

There are several reasons why your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner might be leaking water from the bottom.

Some of them are:

• The clean water tank or the formula tank is not seated properly on the unit.
• The cap or the insert on the clean water tank or the formula tank is loose or damaged.
• The red rubber gasket at the bottom of the clean water tank is missing or damaged.
• The dirty water tank is full, cracked, or not locked in place.
• The handle is not fitted correctly on the unit.

These are some of the most common causes of leaking in Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaners.

Now let’s see how to fix each one of them.

How to fix a leaking clean water tank

The clean water tank is located on top of your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner.

It holds the water and the cleaning solution that you use to clean your carpets. If it is not seated properly on the unit, it might leak water from the bottom.

To fix this issue, follow these steps:

1. Turn off and unplug your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the clean water tank from the unit by lifting it up.
3. Check if it is cracked, warped, or damaged. If it is, you need to order a new one from Bissell’s website or a local store that sells Bissell products.
4. Check if the cap and the insert on the tank are tight and secure. If they are loose or damaged, you need to order new ones from Bissell’s website or a local store that sells Bissell products.
5. Check if the red rubber gasket at the bottom of the clean water tank is working properly and water is only coming out when you push up on it. If it is missing or damaged, you need to order a new clean water tank from Bissell’s website or a local store that sells Bissell products.
6. Put the tank back on the unit by aligning it with its slot and pushing it down until it clicks into place.
7. Plug in and turn on your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner and test it for leaks.

How to fix a leaking dirty water tank

The dirty water tank is located at the bottom of your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner.

It collects the dirty water and debris that you suck up from your carpets. If it is full, cracked, or not locked in place, it might leak water from the bottom.

To fix this issue, follow these steps:

1. Turn off and unplug your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the dirty water tank from the unit by pressing down on its handle and pulling it out.
3. Empty it by pulling up on its rubber tab and pouring out any dirty water into a sink or a bucket.
4. Check if it is cracked, warped, or damaged. If it is, you need to order a new one from Bissell’s website or a local store that sells Bissell products.
5. Check if the stack and the float inside the tank are installed correctly. The stack is the tube that connects the tank to the unit. The float is the ball that rises up when the tank is full and shuts off the suction. If they are loose or missing, you need to order new ones from Bissell’s website or a local store that sells Bissell products.
6. Put the dirty water tank back on the unit by aligning it with its slot and pushing it in until it clicks into place.
7. Plug in and turn on your carpet cleaner and test it for leaks.

How to fix a leaking handle

The handle is the part that you hold and use to move your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner around.

It also has buttons and switches that control the power, the mode, and the spray of your carpet cleaner. If it is not fitted correctly on the unit, it might leak water from the bottom.

To fix this issue, follow these steps:

1. Turn off and unplug your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution carpet cleaner from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the handle from the unit by unscrewing the two screws at its base with a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Check if there is any water or debris stuck in the space between the handle and the unit. If there is, wipe it off with a cloth or a paper towel.
4. Reconnect the handle to the unit by aligning it with its slot and screwing back the two screws at its base with a Phillips screwdriver.
5. Plug in and turn on your carpet cleaner and test it for leaks.

What To Do If None of These Steps Help
