My Bissell 1699 stopped straying from the floor nozzels but it will spray from the handheld nozzel. I noticed the red tank level indicator no longer rises when the tank is full (I am ordering a new tank). Would this keep the floor sprayers from working and still allow the hand sprayer to work? I hope to have the new tank shortly but I am curious to know if the pump could be bad ( I don't think so or the hand sprayer might not work).
Thanks,
Steve
I agree - just got done fixing 1 of these tonight. The heater plugs up and no spray. Easy Fix, the heater is in the handle and pretty easy to remove. then a straightened paper clip and a blast of air and you should be go to go.
Usually when the hand tool works ok, then the heater inside the handle asm. is clogged. The water bypasses the heater when you use the hand tool. Other then that it could be a bad pump.

Thank you very much for the tip. I had the unit apart at one point and noticed the heater so I will try your tip to see if it works for me. I will let you know the results.
Thanks,

I shot some air through the heater unit with my compressor (very lightly) and it did the trick. The unit is up and running again. Thank you very much for the advice!

Vacuum doesn't pick up powder on the floor. It feel as though it has suction power when I put my hand to the nozzel.
