First, ensure the bladder is filled with clean, hand-hot tap water and formula. If that doesn't work, the lint screen may be clogged and needs cleaning. Make sure the 2-in-1 water tank is correctly seated by removing and reseating it. The pump might have lost its prime; turn the power off, wait a minute, then turn it back on and depress the spray trigger. Lastly, the pump belt may be broken, but you should refer to Replacement Parts on page 15 before calling BISSELL Consumer Services.
