It sounds like the valve that actuates the flow of water is stuck open. Whether or not you could fix it depends on how the handle is configured. If the handle triggers something internally then it needs to be disassembled and the valve given some oil.
If in doubt take photos on phone before dismantling, but as for you I would try to take apart and rebuilt, failing that contact Bissall for a detailed parts assembly instructions.
In my case when I pulled the trigger on the upholstery hose I barely got a drizzle of water. After looking at the parts online I realized the valve assembly on the spray end of the hose consisted of a black valve housing, with an inner spring and a white plunger part that sprays the water. The white plunger should move noticeably when the trigger is pulled. Since all 3 part of that valve assembly were replaceable I decided to try and take it apart. First I removed the 2 silver screws on the cover of trigger end of the hose and lifted out the valve assemble. The white plunger part was basically frozen in the black valve assembly. Tried pulling the white plunger out by hand wouldn't budge. So I use a pair of plier and pulled the white part out. Sure enough the whole inside was caked with what appeared to be old dried cleaner. I rinsed the spring and the white plunger. There were o-rings on the white plunger, I did not remove them but used an old tooth brush to clean out around them then reassembled. The white plunger now freeing slides a noticeable distance when the trigger is depressed and getting a large V shaped spray pattern. Lesson learned, I will now make sure I run plenty of plain water through the hose to rinse all the cleaner out after using it .
could be a few things.. take the lid off the tank and try spray.
did you fill the bladder and not the outer tank.. rubber on bottom of tank still there.. releases fluid it you depress the x shape center..
hot water. prime from hose without a tool on it by holding the hose lower than the tank.. put in on a work bench.. hold spray trigger and turn on machine.... read my other posts as well
Check the seal that the clean water tank sits on, may have come loose. The filter inside the dirty water tank has been pushed up too far, needs to have a 1/4 in. gap from the top to the top of the filter.
