the bar that goes from the hose to the crawler keeps coming off and then it does not work we have tried everything to keep it on any suggestions

Make sure it is snapped in all the way as it is hard to push in. The end should go through the second slotted hole when fully inserted. If it is just loose you might try heating it and spreading the split end a bit so that it is tighter. The only other option I see is a strong waterproof glue of just sending it back.

If you mean the top and bottom curved "bars" they have a friction fit into the hose end and bottom body of the part of the unit. The bar with a moveable float fits on top, the other one obviously on the bottom. Upon initial assembly once the indent in the bar is lined up it requires a bit of force to snap it in place. If the tabs are broken on the bar it will never stay in place.

Make sure that the hose snaps in place. If it doesn't snap in place check o make sure the plastic pieces that snap the hose in place aren't broken. I don't believe this is a common problem, its never happened to me. Good luck.

raymond, hope this helps U. Take the cover off at the 2 nuts where the bar fits, Re-track the bar back. now thread the chain around the sprocket and the slot on the bar, make sure the chain points in the right direction, now adjust the bar forward until reaching the proper tension . let me know that this is successful for U

The short hose is a problem. I get spider webs that cannot be reached. Also is nearly impossible for stairs. Have to wrestle it as you go. They need to offer an extension hose to add to the flexible hose.

Most likely the pipe ! Either the pipe is not fully inserted into the fitting. or it has a slight imperfection, or a sliver of plastic or other foreign material. Use the sharkbite tool to take it apart, clean it good ,. both pipe and fitting and try again. Good luck!

Loosen and retighten the bolts at each joint. If it still leaks, it is defective. Return it to Amazon.

plumbers tape, and tighten it down before the weight of the trailer is on it, that will help to keep pressure on it so it doesn't losen

Mine has also had a problem with that at times. I just pull it futher out or all the way out to get it to retract again. Ours is away from the faucet and it worked fine until we changed the water hose we hooked up to it. So I don't know if that is the problem.

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your hose, make sure the extension wand is removed from your hose and that the end of the hose is firmly pushed into the lower hose to tightly secure it. If you are still having trouble please reach out to us! http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

It sounds like the flapper is leaking. Make sure that the chain is loose enough for the flapper to work, but tight enough that it does not get under the flapper. Replacing the flapper is easy and might likely be your solution.

Tighten a little more and make sure the crush washer is crushed or remove and try again but when comes off remember where the logo is and add a 1/4 turn before starting over

Sounds like the hose isn't securely fastened into the slot. Make sure you turn it, and it sort of 'clicks' into place. Otherwise, I would guess a defective product?

I had the same problem so my son bought stuff at Lowes I think to continue and a tool to tighten. it will loosen and sag with time. we also had to replace the lead since my dog chewed it down to the wire. it rusted and he would tangle himself all up. the new lead is longer but coiled and so far he hasn't managed to chew through it. this is a good run and much cheaper than building you own but does need a little help.

I think you just left the top bar off of the tire. Then it should just come off. You will figure it out.

Mine is doing the same thing but it's under warrenty and I have sent it back twice now to be fixed , I got it back this past Friday and it still doesn't work they said they replaced the top housing where the flappers open and shut on top they allow it to go forward and reverse. This must be a big problem ugh

I just went out and removed and replace the weight to be sure I was not overlooking something. The only thing I can think of is make sure you install the weight on the male end of the hose, not the female. Hope that helps.
