Alright, it’s time for the part we’ve all been waiting for!

Let’s get started.

1. First, make sure you have your screwdriver and needle-nose pliers handy. You don’t want to get in the groove and realize you don’t have your tools within reach.
2. Next, you’ll want to remove both of the tanks. This can be done by pulling off the top tank, then pushing the latch that unlocks the lower tank and allows removal.
3. After that, unwrap the hose and release the latch that holds it in place.
4. Remove any tools or accessories that are on the machine. They should be located in the tool caddy located on the back of your carpet cleaner.
5. Slide the lower hose rack out and use your Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws and pull the rack off.
6. Unscrew the front nozzle and then lay the carpet cleaner down, power cord facing the floor.
7. Next, you’ll want to find and remove the black screws, as doing so will enable you to take off the clear cap, giving you access to the silver screw.
8. Remove the silver screw and the pivoting arm. Removing the pivoting arm will give you access to the belt and brush rolls.

Now that you’ve taken your Bissell ProHeat 2x apart, you’re able to do any maintenance or repairs that need to be done.

Make sure you take this opportunity to wipe all parts clean and inspect them for any damage that may be present, even if doesn’t seem like the damage is affecting its performance.

After you finish your maintenance and repairs, put the cleaner back together, add your water and cleaning solution, plug it in, and give it a solid test run to make sure everything is in working order, taking care to pay close attention for any leaks or change in performance.

As long as everything is working correctly and there are no leaks, your machine is good to go!
