    What to do if my Bissell 86T3 Vacuum Cleaner is not picking up solution?
    • D
      Debbie FloresAug 4, 2025
      If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up the cleaning solution, several factors could be at play. First, ensure both the Clean and Dirty Water Tanks are correctly seated and fit snugly. Check the Clean Water Tank's fluid levels and refill if necessary. Also, empty the Dirty Water Tank if it's full. If the red float door in the tank is closed, turn the machine off to allow it to release, then turn it back on, using slower strokes. Finally, check for and remove any clogs from the front nozzle or the upper body filter.

    Why DirtLifter® PowerBrush on my Bissell 86T3 Vacuum Cleaner does not turn?
    • B
      Brittany ThompsonAug 15, 2025
      If the DirtLifter® PowerBrush on your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn't turning, it could be due to a few reasons. If the belt is off or broken, turn the power OFF and unplug the machine. Also, the brushes only rotate when the machine is reclined using the recline handle. Another possibility is that the circuit breaker on the machine may have tripped. If so, turn the machine OFF and unplug it. Check for any foreign objects caught in the Brush Roll, remove them, and then plug the machine back in to reset the circuit breaker.

    How to fix reduced or no spray on a Bissell 86T3?
    • C
      Crystal SloanAug 26, 2025
      If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner has reduced or no spray, start by filling the Clean Water Tank with hot tap water. Ensure the tank is completely seated. If the pump has lost prime, turn the power OFF and then back ON, wait one minute, and press the trigger. Also, check the debris filter on the base for clogs and remove any debris.
