Carpet Cleaner
By Gary Boutin


Tools and Supplies:
Anvil or Flat Working Surface
Brass Compression Sleeve 5/32
Ryobi® Titanium Drill Bit 7/16
Ryobi ®Cordless Drill 18-Volt 

We own the Bissell® 801004 Carpet Cleaner and after ten years the parts are not available. We acquired the unit used and the carpet cleaner worked well for another seven years. We have fur-babies (Basenji dogs) and they both shed regularly. Seven years later, the Bissell carpet cleaner keeps shutting off and overheats. 

Note:
These posts addresses Bissell® carpet cleaners units that are ten years old and have no warranty by Bissel or any other warranty companies. Also all Bissell® product names will be in the color black.

This post shows the eight steps to repair of the Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base.

1
This part is one of the reasons why the Bissell® Preheat Clear View 801004 was not working well. This part is the Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base which was detached from the water hose that supplies soapy water from the Bissell® Tank. This is a top view.

This is the bottom view of the Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base that shows one of the plastic nipple is missing.

This shows a Ryobi® 18-volt Cordless drill with a 5/32 Ryobi® Titanium Drill Bit. This bit is just a hare larger than the compression sleeve.

Here is another view of the Ryobi® 18-volt Cordless drill with a Titanium Drill Bit. This picture shows the drilling is finished. The Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base now is ready for its sleeve.

This picture shows that the drill bit is completely through the Bissell® Base Flow Indicator Base. The drill was run through two or three time to give additional room for the compression sleeve.
