Need Plumbing Diagram for Bissell 9500 Pro Heat Cleans Shot 2X

[jeffnc]

I finally figured out that the problem in my circa 2008 Bissell 9500 Pro Heat Clean Shot 2X carpet cleaner was a stopped-up heater, so I disassembled it and cleaned the heater channels.

I took some reference photos during disassembly, but I am still having trouble getting all the hoses connected correctly. I have searched long and hard for a plumbing diagram for this machine, but the closest I can come is a for a 9400 and it is clearly not the same. All links which purport to show a hose diagram for my machine are dead. Can anyone help me with this?

Post pics and we could all figure it out.

No

He asked us to post pics. Its a thread to help him not you. You get all famous on you tube now your hijacking threads.

I hope you replaced pump and the solenoid as they only last 8 working hours. Personally unless it's the prize gem of your collection I would throw it out
Here's the picture of an inside of one I hope it helps you.

I just got back to this project (hence back to this thread) after a few days. Thanks much for the photo, vacdevil. If I can't figure it out from that, I'll post a photo of mine.

I did not replace the pump and the solenoid; I'm not even sure where the solenoid is since I have no diagram. Maybe I'll replace them later if I can ever get the other problems straightened out.

Long story short, I reassembled it. When I use it exclusively in the "TOOLS" setting, it now sucks all of the solution out of the small solution tank (and deposits it into the auto carpet I am trying to clean) while using very little of the water in the forward tank. I've looked at my hose connections and, from what I can see, nothing "jumps out" as being wrong - - - but something must be.

What does it sound like I've done? Logic would suggest that I've mixed-up the hoses for each tank, but I can't seem to "switch" them successfully due to length . . . and I never removed the hoses from the mixing rail. If you need photos, please tell me what you need to see.

Solenoid is that little silver covered device to the bottom right of the heater in the picture. They do tend to burn out fairly often.

Okay, here are some photos.

In the first photo, are both of the tubes shown going to the "snorkel" supposed to connect to the pump? I have both going into the pump vertically, one down low at the forward end and the other into the top of a vertical white cylinder (filter?) at the rear.

In the second photo, does the rear-most hose going into the "spinner" (screwdriver pointing to it) come from the water tank?

Please forgive the stupid questions; I'm actually sort of amazed that I have figured out as much as I have. I guess it is because I have a technical background in a completely different field.

There are NO stupid questions.

If you "knew", you wouldn't ask. That's one of the reasons we're all here, to help.Some are confused, uninformed, misguided, ignorant, etc.
I've learned a lot in here. I've seen others get excellent tips, suggestions, etc. If you don't know......... ask.
