  If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner loses suction or leaves streaks, several factors could be at play. First, ensure both the clean and dirty water tanks are correctly seated. An improperly seated tank can cause suction problems. If the dirty water tank is full, empty it. Also, check if the brush window is securely latched; if not, unplug the machine and reinstall the window. Debris in the foot channel can also cause issues; clean it with a paper towel. Check the filter for clogs and clean it if necessary. Finally, if you've applied too much water, go over the area again without spraying.

  If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn't spraying, several things could be happening. First, check the clean water tank to ensure it's full and correctly installed; refill and reinstall if needed. The system might not be fully primed, so hold the trigger for 10 to 15 seconds to allow the solution to reach the spray tips. Also, make sure the brush window is latched in place by unplugging the machine and reinstalling it. Finally, ensure you're continuously holding the trigger while using the machine to spray the solution.

Why is the brush roll isn’t turning on my Bissell CROSSWAVE 3888?

  If the brush roll on your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn’t turning, several factors could be responsible. First, make sure the brush roll is installed correctly. If not, follow the instructions for replacing the brush roll. The machine needs to be reclined to turn the brush roll on. If the machine is standing upright, recline it. Also, the brush roll might be stalled by debris. In this case, unplug the machine and remove the brush window and brush roll to remove any obstructions.
