What to do if my Bissell PET 3 Vacuum Cleaner is not picking up cleaning solution?

If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up the cleaning solution, there are several potential causes. First, check that the collection tank is correctly aligned and secured with the side latches. Also, ensure the collection tank isn't full and empty it if necessary. Another cause might be that the removable nozzle is installed improperly or is full of debris; in this case, unplug the unit, align the four 'hooks' into the bottom first, then snap into place on top, or remove the nozzle and rinse it under running water. Additionally, a clogged red lint screen under the collection tank could be the issue; remove any debris from the lint screen. Lastly, make sure the ReadyTools dial is set to either 'FLOOR CLEANING' or 'TOOLS' for your desired cleaning method.
