  • If still leaking, unplug machine, remove clean water tank, and check for cracks, leaks or deformation on tank
    • If tank is damaged, a new tank should be ordered
  • With clean tank still removed, check for cracks/leaks on black cap and damage on rubber gasket
    • If there are cracks or damage, a new one needs to be ordered
  • Remove the dirty water tank from the front of the machine
    • Inspect tank for cracks and leaks
    • If there are cracks or damage, a new dirty tank assembly needs to be ordered

 

  • Unplug machine

If machine is leaking from the side vents:

  • There may be too much foam building up within - be sure to use the recommended amount of formula as indicated on the clean tank
    • Also be sure to use the proper CrossWave formula (not portable or upright cleaning formulas)
  • The dirty water level may have surpassed the full line and the float did not activate - empty and see if this resolves the issue
  • If machine continues to leak, please contact BISSELL Consumer Care
