People like you have to be rewarded. I do thank you so much for this, particularly the tips about taking the tube out. I just changed mine, what I did was to hold the flow indicator with one hand and the tube with the other (from where it was firm with the male part inside), and wiggled until the tube came out.
I have had this problem twice with my machine. It's going on 8 years ish. Another tip I can give if it hasn't been said yet is to warm up the tubes that connect to the indicator with a hair dryer. The heat helps make the rubber more pliable and comes off easier. Great video thanks.
Thanks Fred for the nice tutorial and Styles Sandra for the nice tip. Love youtube tutorial videos, I've saved so much time and frustration on so many things!
That's good that it worked, but you don't want to actually do that again because expanding a rubber back and forth will wear it out and it won't go back into its original form
Thank you so much!! I was mid cleaning and then all of a sudden it started leaking, I freaked out, because as we all know this machine isn’t cheap. So glad to hear it’s an easy/cheap fix(hopefully). I’m going to take mine apart really quick to double check that’s what it is before I order any parts. Also thanks for the “No hot water, only warm” tip, because I was unaware of the issues that can cause, because I’ve always used as hot of water as I could get, hence why this probably happened and the tip for removing the hose😃Anyway, thanks again!!😊
Haven’t left a comment before on CZcams but wanted to make sure to thank you for this video. I watched it once, ordered the part on Amazon (ordered it Saturday and got it Monday!), took apart the Bissell Big Green, and replaced the flow indicator assembly part with zero issues. I didn’t have to watch the video again either. Many thanks for your help. Keep doing the videos - you’re awesome!
THANK YOU this worked PERFECTLY! My 10 yr-old Bissell suddenly started gushing water out of the flow indicator. Looked up your video and followed your directions. People I am not handy and used only needle-nose pliers, a Phillips screwdriver, and masking tape (didn't have electrical). My flow indicator didn't look broken at all when I removed it, but I tried the new $10 part from Amazon anyway, and NO MORE LEAK! When I called the repair shop they said "it's tough getting parts for these older machines (??) and we might have to keep it for several weeks". Your fix took 2 days for Prime shipping and about 30 minutes of work (15 for removal, 15 for putting it back on). HOORAY!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed video. I was able to do everything but pull off the case (needed more muscle). The special points about the hoses was so important and after a lot of careful tugging, pulling and twisting they popped off. After I got everything put back together (didn''t leave a single screw behind), I tested it....and it worked!!!!!!! At 73 and arthritic hands, I was still able to repair it. Thanks again!!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this video. I just replaced the flow indicator on our Big Green and it's working perfectly again. Really appreciate the tip about the hot water, too, because I always put very hot water in the darn thing.
Thanks so much for posting this and especially including the hose and hose clip warnings. I definitely would have lost one of my hose clips had you not cautioned me! The directions were great and my carpet cleaner is working like a charm. Thanks!
I'm replacing mine now too...Did not know what the problem was until watching your video..I would forget about the leak until I would go to clean a carpet for a client and the solution would leak out...finally ordered the part and I'm replacing...This is my 3rd Big Green...I've just sold them in the past when I did not need them anymore but things would happen that I would need one again!! Luckily I always bought used!! They have a good used resale value for a home appliance! haha...I pay about $300.00 and always would sell for $350.00 so never lost money!! Never would I pay new price of $500.00 though!!! Thanks for the clear instructions!!
Thanks so much! My machine just started leaking and I found your video right away. I ordered the part from Amazon, and it will be here in a few days. I checked the Bissell user guide, and it clearly states to use HOT tap water. Most hot water tanks are set at 120 degrees, which isn't that hot. I'll be using WARM water from now on due to your tip.
@@FredFlintstone21 Just replaced mine and your video was really helpful. A couple of small plastic tabs at the bottom of the housing broke off when I pulled it off, but everything went back together just fine. I think those tabs were just there to help align the housing. I inspected the old unit and found that the plastic window over the flow indicator had cracked around the base. For those who might have some trouble sliding the tubing back onto the replacement unit, I'd suggest spreading a very thin film of dish soap over the posts. The tubing will slip right on, and the soap won't harm the plastic or rubber. Don't use petroleum jelly or similar substance as those may deteriorate the parts over time.
This worked great for me!!! Bought the part off Amazon and 2 days later, everything is working. I cut the tube (I verified I had enough to re-connect first) since I had problems getting it off the old unit.
Hello : Thanks a MILLION for this video. I have a Big Green for 8 years & it started leaking from flow indicator. I thought it was old age & being that I loved the way it performed , I decided to buy another one. The wife suggested I look on CZcams for troubleshooting. OMG !!! There was your video with specific instructions on how to fix it. I ordered the part & installed it. PRESTO !!!!!! It was working again like new. You saved me $600.00 & again I want to say Thanks a MILLION !!!! Sincerely John
Thank you so much. Your video made it look easy so I did it myself. Also, Styles Sander's comment about heating the yellow hose saved me much frustration.
Appreciated your video being longer and more detailed cuz I took the unit apart and took a while to order the piece and couldn't remember where which screws went! Thanks
Thank you Fred!!! I probably can't see well enough to remove and work with all the components you showed us, but I at least know what to tell a repair person is wrong with my machine. Yep, I have been using very hot water. Good idea about marking the water container! Sincerely appreciate the time you took to help others.
After watching yours and one other video, I gave this fix a shot. It was an easy fix and worked great!! So thankful not to have the repair or replacement cost!! Thanks so much!! Now if I can just figure out how to get my husband to shampoo like you are doing everything will be perfect. Lol
Thank you so much for this! Mine started spewing water through the flow indicator. Ordered the part off eBay, followed along with this video, and voila, good as new! Easy fix!
Thank you for uploading this solution! Just had our flow indicator leak... pretty sure hot water did it. $10 on Amazon shipped. Glad it’s a pretty easy fix.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! You saved me so much time on troubleshooting. You made the very important point with a few of bissell machines(Spotbot), THEY DO NOT LIKE HOT WATER! It just breaks them down. Keep the helpful videos coming and good job!!!
I figure if you cant run the water through your hand, its probably too hot. Just used mine the other day with a pet formula as the soap. Worked very well! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I made a video with this fix 3 years ago.. I have crazy hot water here at my home and I think that’s been the issue I’ve had to do this twice now .. so from now on I’m using like warm water .. thanks for this video
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Mine just started this after 5 years of use and it’s nice to know it’s a relatively easy fix. Good to know about no hot water too!
Experienced this same problem today. Excellent tips and helpful video. Thank you for documenting this. Saved me some $ and spared me the headache. Cheers!!
Thanks to this great video and Amazon I had my machine fixed within 24 hours on Easter Weekend. The fix took less time than watching the video but it would have taken me hours without the video! Thank you for posting this.
Thanks! This video made the job much easier. One additional tip--be careful not to strip the heads on the phillipshead screws. Also, I didn't need the tape on the pliers--after loosening the hose clamps, I was able to remove the tubes with just my fingers.
Thanks so much for your thorough and clear explanation of what to do, and I really appreciated you pointing out what to watch out for while doing the repair. I especially was grateful that you included the information about not using hot water. I have been using the hottest water possible because I have cream colored carpet, and I am sure this contributed to the failure of the flow indicator for me.
I too have a cream colored carpet. I had run the dishwasher just before starting the carpet cleaning, so the hot water was really hot. Thanks for a straight forward video with the essential tips.
Thanks so much for making this video! I had the same problem and was so happy I could repair it myself (with the help of my teenager for a little muscle.)
Wow you are incredibly patient. I would have been cussing! I have had my machine for 6 years and my flow indicator just start leaking in the middle of my job. Ugh! Thank you for this video. I’m gonna try it myself!!
When soap water started leaking everywhere, I didnt know what was going on, what was broke, ended up tearing apart the whole unit, rollers underneath, this gadget, that thingy. Finally I narrowed it down to the flow indicator. So I made a video about my quest in fixing it, ran into more frustrating leaks, dropped the hose clamp down the hole, and had to take it all apart again to lengthen one of the hoses because I ripped the damn thing trying to pry it off. So it leaked AGAIN from the hose. What a terrible video it was. After I replaced the flow indicator, it was time to delete the old video (which was terrible anyways) and share what I had learned, so your walk would be far less painless. Of all my videos, for whatever reason, this one is my favorite! Thanks for watching! You can do it! Just like the famous line from the movie "the edge", "what one man (woman) can do, another can do!" I hope all will go well. Thanks for watching!
Glad I watched this video I just ordered one of these off of eBay I will have to make sure to use warm water only I've been using very hot water with my brothers Hoover I've been borrowing
Great video. Saved me several dollars in a repair bill. The Flow Indicator is about $9.00 from Amazon and it took me about 30 minutes to do after watching the video. Good tip on using warm water vs hot. This problem started because I used very hot water in it.
Thanks, I had same problem last month, ordered the same part on Amazon and fixed according to your advice. Also wrote to use warm water only. Fix took all of 5 minutes and wrapped paper towel around the hose to avoid tearing it. Thanks again.
Way to go! We upgraded to better a vacuum in the house from a cheap 10 yr old walmart vacuum to a shark duo, and I'm sure the big green wont load up as much from carpet lint. The shark nearly filled the canister from just the family room. No wonder why the big green kept dumping chunks of carpet lint on the floor! Thanks for watching, glad I was able to help you!
Thanks for the tutorial. It was very concise and well explained. It would have taken me to look for the two screws on the back side. Well worth the price of admission. Those that criticized are probably self important chuckle heads anyway. Why watch it if you know everything anyway?
Thanks Great job I have four of these and I have to replace the list two Of these already but now I can do it myself thanks you need to make more videos like this good looking out
Dude, you saved me $400 on a new carpet cleaner! I owe you a pack of beer (or soda). I ended up taking a heat gun and applying gentle heat. Then I was able to get the hoses pulled free with my hands. Thanks for the video!
Katie Bringuier Of all my videos, this is still my favorite. I made one before, didnt like it that much, then re-did it! Regarding the dislikes, back when I first started watching youtube videos via my phone, I'm certain I accidentally bumped the dislike by accident, it does highlight blue, but if you dont really know what means, you wouldn't "un-blue" it. Anyways, thanks for watching, and I'm glad I was able to help
I think this just happened to mine today! Mine started leaking through the bottom and I have pulled it apart to this point. I want sure if it was the for indicator it not but that's the only thing left it could be. Thanks for the video!
My machine is also leaking from the two holes on the bottom! Im thinking of replacing this part along with the Cap and Insert for Water Tank | Part# 203-6675. Let me know if it stopped yours from leaking.
The very top of my indicator comes off, as well as the black and white part that spins under it...so it's broken, right? Water leaking everywhere. I thought it was the other half/opening next to the indicator (where it says to insert a hose). There is no cap on mine (the hose opening), not sure if there ever was, but there is no pressure or suction there so that's not the issue (placing a beer cap on it did not help either!).
Excellent video. Seems I'm not the only one with this problem. Very detailed and you showed everything, but you didn't actually show the flow indicator replacement at the end.
Thanks for the video. I have one question. On my machine, of the hoses that connects to the flow indicator has a metal coil over it. I forgot to notice if it was attached to the clamp somehow before I removed it from the cracked flow indicator. Can you tell me if I need to attached it to the clamp and how to do it? Thanks.
Where did you get the replacement hose from, it created a pin hole leak when replacing the flow indicator. Thank you for your instructional video by the way.
Same thing with my machine. The problem is that Bissell used a bad adhesive that *HOT* water breaks down. I rebuilt mine by scraping off all the rubbery old adhesive first and re-gluing the *THREE* clear flow meter pieces back together with epoxy. It's been several months and several uses later and it's as good as new.
People like you have to be rewarded. I do thank you so much for this, particularly the tips about taking the tube out.
I just changed mine, what I did was to hold the flow indicator with one hand and the tube with the other (from where it was firm with the male part inside), and wiggled until the tube came out.
Great video. Replacing this part fixed my problem of the attachment not spraying. Very clear instructions.
I have had this problem twice with my machine. It's going on 8 years ish. Another tip I can give if it hasn't been said yet is to warm up the tubes that connect to the indicator with a hair dryer. The heat helps make the rubber more pliable and comes off easier. Great video thanks.
We heated the little yellow hose with a hair dryer to make it expand and it easily puled off. Great informative video. Thank you sir!

And you'll find that warm water works great! How warm? I'd say if your hands can handle the heat, it's not too hot.

@@FredFlintstone21 I clean the carpet lint off after about 5-10 uses as it collect at the bottom.
Thanks saved me alot of time and money 👍😊
Thanks for the tutorial. It was very concise and well explained. It would have taken me to look for the two screws on the back side. Well worth the price of admission. Those that criticized are probably self important chuckle heads anyway. Why watch it if you know everything anyway?
Thanks Great job I have four of these and I have to replace the list two Of these already but now I can do it myself thanks you need to make more videos like this good looking out
Dude, you saved me $400 on a new carpet cleaner! I owe you a pack of beer (or soda). I ended up taking a heat gun and applying gentle heat. Then I was able to get the hoses pulled free with my hands. Thanks for the video!
Good times. I'll drink a surly furious tonight, and imagine you gave it to me lol!
I ended up epoxying the top/bottom halves of the flow indicator - think they used weak silicon on these - now I can still use super hot water.
awesome video dude, thank you so much!
Thanks for the info about the warm water vs hot.
I had this exact problem and I watched your video and it helped me correct it so thank you very much
Glad to help, friend I havent met
Thanks video was extremely helpful
Fantastic tutorial, thank you!
Thank you so much great video. This just happened to mine.
Love the pro tips, such as "careful not to drop the screw into that hole, you'll have a fun time getting it out."
Thank you for the video was able to do this fast and without any problems

Good question!I dont recall seeing coil around my hose. Have you figured out what to do?
Where did you get the replacement hose from, it created a pin hole leak when replacing the flow indicator. Thank you for your instructional video by the way.
I cut a piece off the end. On mine, I took it apart exposing more hose, then adjusted it up higher so I could cut some off.
Thank you I just used the vid thank you
Sounds like it's miller time!
Thank you extremely helpful
Thank you! ☺️
...there’s another guy has this same fix Edwards big green machine fix ... great video
Awesome!
Thank you this!
Same thing with my machine. The problem is that Bissell used a bad adhesive that *HOT* water breaks down. I rebuilt mine by scraping off all the rubbery old adhesive first and re-gluing the *THREE* clear flow meter pieces back together with epoxy. It's been several months and several uses later and it's as good as new.
That's great news! Thanks for sharing
Thank you.. i just had mine break..
When you say "Gripper Thingies" are you referring to the teeth on your pliers?
