Bissell ProHeat 2X™ Service Center Guide Issued: September, 2005 © 2005 BISSELL Homecare, Inc. Page 5 of 22 UL RECOMMENDED HIGH VOLTAGE TEST In keeping with UL standards, a high voltage test should be performed on a vacuum or deep cleaner any time the unit is in for repair, particularly when the motor or other electrical components have been replaced. High voltage testing is done for the safety of the customer. By applying an over-voltage between live parts and various metal portions of the machine that are exposed to wear, you proof-test the entire machine against grounds or shorts that could cause inconvenience, fires, or personal injury. High voltage testing is also a quality control measure. The possible future failure in the insulation of any portion of the unit, whether due to workmanship, components, or materials, will be detected by this procedure prior to return of the unit back to the customer. The normal test parameters are 1000 volts for one minute. There must be no indication of dielectric breakdown at the uppermost values. After the unit is completely assembled, the high voltage test required is the power cord to terminals in plug with the product switch on on position. This test can be accomplished with any commercially available test equipment offered for this purpose. The following testers are recommended: Associated Research - Model 4025 or 4050 AJ Slaughter - Model Series 2306 or 2307 Beckman Ind. (Rosemont) Model P-9A GROUND CONTINUITY TEST This test is performed to determine that grounding continuity exists between the grounding blade of the lower supply cord plug and the motor. This test should be performed any time electrical connections are disturbed. Any suitable indicating device - ohmmeter, battery/buzzer combination or the like may be used to determine compliance. Contact points are the ground terminal and the plug to the shaft of the vacuum motor and the heater body. USING A SERVICING PLATFORM Begin by placing the unit on a servicing platform. Servicing Platform should fit securely under the unit and raise its wheels off the workbench surface.
Bissell ProHeat 2X™ Service Center Guide Issued: September, 2005 © 2005 BISSELL Homecare, Inc. Page 6 of 22 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS Check to make sure the unit is properly assembled. Check seals on the Clean Water/Recovery Tank, Formula tank, Rear Cover, and Nozzle. If necessary, re-seat or replace seals. Check valve action on Clean Water/Recovery Tank and Formula tank by depressing them with your finger. The valve should move up and down. Replace if necessary. Check position and condition of all gaskets and seals. Re-seat or replace if necessary. Rotate front brush to determine if rear brush also spins. Both should rotate smoothly and quietly. FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS CHECKS **If any of these functions do not work, refer to the quick reference troubleshooting guide on page 4 for a list of possible causes and things to look for. Then follow the related troubleshooting steps in the rest of this guide. Place the filled solution and water tanks onto the unit. Set SmartClean™ knob to normal. Plug in unit and turn it on. Listen for unusual motor noise such as grinding, racing, louder than normal, etc. If so, remove and replace the vacuum motor. Depress main handle trigger and check for spray at unit bottom. Depress upholstery hose trigger and check for spray at hose. Make sure both brushes spin. Check suction at vacuum duct.

Page 7 of 22 TROUBLESHOOTING LOW/NO SPRAY SYMPTOMS With the SmartClean™ dial set to rinse insert the formula tank into the unit in place of the water tank in the front auto load receiver. Do not put the tank in the rear auto load receiver. The rear auto load receiver may remain empty as long as the unit is set to rinse. Putting the smaller formula tank in the front receiver leaves more room to see the receiver is making proper contact with the cap and insert. Turn the unit on and see if it sprays. If it does the tank is warped and needs to be replaced. Place the filled solution and water tanks onto the unit. Look for bubbles coming into the water tank. If bubbles are coming into the tank from the auto load receiver, the receiver may have a bad welded seam. Replace the auto load receiver. Plug unit in and turn it on. Turn the SmartClean™ setting to rinse. The rinse setting is a positive off and will eliminate the formula tank from the spray system so that the pump will only draw from the water tank. If the unit will spray when set to rinse but not when set to normal there may be something wrong with the formula tank, auto load receiver, or seal. Turn unit off. Remove the recovery tank top, place recovery tank bottom back on unit, turn unit back on, and check for spray. The recovery tank becomes negatively pressurized when the unit is running. Removing the top eliminates that pressure and makes it easier for the pump to work. The pump is likely faulty if the unit will not spray with the top on but will spray after it is removed. **If the unit is equipped with solenoid valves that operate the SmartClean™ system you may want to check their operation and assembly before removing the access cover. Refer to the section on TAKING THE UNIT APART beginning on page 11 before proceeding. Check operation of the solenoid valves. Pulling the trigger should energize the solenoid that is located in the base of the unit next to the heater (110 volts should be sent to each solenoid valve after it is energized). Some units will also have two solenoids as part of the SmartClean™ system. Switching the SmartClean™ dial to high traffic should energize both of those solenoids. Check all internal components to ensure proper assembly.

Page 8 of 22 TROUBLESHOOTING LOW/NO SPRAY SYMPTOMS (continued) Check lines for evidence of pinching or restricted flow. Straighten, un-pinch, or replace lines as necessary. Set air duct back in place and re-attach both tubes to it. Turn unit on. Check the pump motor to make sure it is running. If the pump motor is not running, check the current coming into it. If it is not receiving approximately 12 volts DC the bridge rectifier may be faulty. Check for a loose connection and replace the rectifier if necessary. Check to see if the pump is primed. Water and solution should be pulled through the SmartClean™ valve assembly and into the pump shortly after the unit is turned on. Placing you hand over the air duct opening may help the pump to prime. The pump is designed to float when properly mounted in the base. You should be able to wiggle the pump even though the mounting screws are in all the way. If the pump is being pulled to one side by a tube or wire it may not function properly. Wiggle the pump from side to side to make sure it is free then check spray. Check for bubbles in the flow system. Bubbles indicate an air leak coming in through a component. If you see bubbles, you should replace the component that appears to be leaking. Generally, the faulty component is the one that is upstream from the bubbles. Begin to disconnect tubes from components to determine where the flow is stopping. Start by disconnecting the tube from the in port on the heater. If solution is being pumped out of that tube, replace it and then disconnect the tube from the heaters out port and check for spray. Continue to replace and remove tubes checking components until you have located the cause of the low spray. TROUBLESHOOTING LOW SUCTION SYMPTOMS Check all gaskets and seals and make sure tanks are seated down all the way. Check for clogged filters on the recovery tank or a stuck float. Check air path from bottom of base.

Page 9 of 22 TROUBLESHOOTING - BRUSH MOTOR WILL NOT TURN Refer to TAKING THE UNIT APART on Page 11 if you need to access the brush motor Remove the base cover and recline the unit. Check the voltage going to the brush motor by disconnecting the leads and reading the line voltage. Line voltage should be 100-150+ volts DC. If this voltage is present, the brush motor is defective. Check Line Voltage If the voltage is 0 at the brush motor, check voltage at the brush switch. Using the grey/white wire as reference, the voltage when probing the top terminal on the switch should be 100-150+ DC volts. If this voltage is present, the switch is bad. Check Voltage at top terminal

(continued)
If 0 voltage is read at the brush switch check the circuit board located in the upper handle.
Check that connections are secure. If 110/120 volts AC goes into the board (red & white
wires) and a reading other than 100 – 150+ volts DC goes out, then the circuit board is
defective and requires replacement. There is a breaker on the circuit board. Cycle the
unit on and off to see if breaker resets.
Check for 120 volts AC
