  If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up the cleaning solution, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the collection tank is correctly aligned and secured with the side latches. Also, the collection tank might be full and needs emptying. Check if the removable nozzle is installed properly; unplug the unit and align the four 'hooks' into the bottom first, then snap it into place on top. The removable nozzle could also be full of debris, in which case you should unplug the unit, remove the nozzle, and rinse it under running water. Additionally, the red lint screen under the collection tank might be clogged, so remove any debris from it. Finally, ensure the ReadyTools dial is set to either 'FLOOR CLEANING' or 'TOOLS' for the desired cleaning method.

  If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner attachment has reduced or no spray, there are several possible reasons. Check if the solution tank is empty and refill it with water and formula if needed. The spray nozzle might be clogged, so clean it by rinsing the tool under water. The pump may need priming; place the tool on the floor and press the spray trigger. Ensure the machine is in the full upright position until it locks into place, as it should not be reclined. Finally, check that the ReadyTools dial is set to 'TOOLS' and not 'FLOOR CLEANING'.
