Bissel Crosswave Dirty Water Tank Error Solved 

That is a very good point sir. Thank you for that.

Thank you so much for this video. This is the 2nd time it happens to me. This is my 2nd replacement of the tank and everything else. I opened it as you said, my machine had Abt 2-3 tbsp of dirty water in there. I dried it up, screwed everything back together (I WS afraid of cutting wires) full tank light came on. Took it apart again, dried it up then put the hot glue where you said but didn't remove the metal posts. Screwed back together and VOILA....IT WORKED! NO MORE FULL TANK LIGHT. I didn't cut wires because someone else here did and still didn't work, then another person said you have to watch the tank to not overfill and lastly because I would've done it if you had actually demonstrated that it worked. But I do thank you for the video it definitely helped 👍🏻👏🏻

No problem. I know the feeling. I was about to throw it out the window. Lol. Glad to have helped.

😭 clipped the wires and still sayin full 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

​@@Chiefy3and you have the HF3 or?

@@elizabeth3280 i think it just had to COMPLETELY dry out - i didn't touch it for a month and randomly tried it a week ago and it works great now.

@@Chiefy3 I tied everything except clipping the wires and submitted for an Amazon return. Perhaps ill find a used one for a fraction of the price to experiment but I actually need a vaccume that simply works like yesterday. I am over sweeping the the floor and my phillips vaccume lost the suction hence why I had tried this HF3 as the 2 in 1. At this point I am looking for an old tried and tested Dyson to tide me off until I figure out which 2 in 1 I will get in the future. I mean I spent like 600 on this professional grade steam thing I did not think thru. until I just moved I forgot I have that water that turns white so it did the opposit of melt the germs away and/or steam clothes etc. I thought I bought the ultimo steam machine which was a huge fail haha. so far this new place does not have the chalk affect with water so I should probably try that again.

Mine still has the error!! Help

I'm glad I was able to help. That error pissed me off to no end. Especially having to go through the pain of requesting replacement parts, only for the error to return.

Good idea

Glad to have helped. I know the headache that it caused me when I kept getting the error message.

BAAAWWWWHAHAHAHAHA!!

Glad to hear it!

I cut them and it still doesn't work😢

yes. And I filled the holes that they come out of with hot glue to prevent water from getting in there and caussing corrotion.

Do you still have the circuit board connected that has the 2 red wires going to it from the contact pads?

Ours still is having the error

@@user-ti1ok9zy1o thats interesting. your the second person to tell me this since I uploaded this video. Could you email me some picture to what you did and I can see if I can try to further help you.

What happens if I cut the other wires too. I did this worked great for about a month now its doing it again

Could you send me some pics to my email so I can try to help u out?

I do want to say that it is absolutely ridiculous the hoops you have to go through to make this unit work as it should. It is a very poor design flaw that should have been fixed a long time ago. I went through 3 units, trying to find something that would actually work as you would expect. After the third time, I gave up and just solved the issue myself. I shouldn't need to. Hell, no one should.

​@@BionicLabs so does this mean I should just send it back to Amazon and get something else? I bought it on black Friday special for 250 so I was pretty stoked until it did not even finish my bathroom. Now I am debating on surgery or if I should just get like a tried and tested used Dyson or something and buy a swiffer or something this has been way more time invested trying to fix this then it takes me to vaccume and mop my entire flat.

​@@BionicLabsalso, I have the HF3 so it looks only slightly different but I think it is the same concept

Me personally, I got tired of doing the whole, return, get something different maybe thing. I wanted this machine. I works so well when it does. But for you, wheat I would do is, outweigh what you feel comfortable doing. If you dont feel comfortable opening it up and fixing the issue, then i would get something else while the sales are still going on. Do what you feel most conformable with. You could fix it now and try it for a few days, if you still dont like it or want to bail out half way through, u got it from amazon. They accept all returns no matter what. So try it and see where it bring u. If u get to a point where u want to just give up, amazon makes it easy for you to return and exchange.

@@BionicLabs Ill open it up and try what you did, I dont know how well it works as the error popped up when i was finishing up with my bathroom which is the first room I started with after a few stokes in the hallway to get a feel for it. I just had to ask myself why you kept buying these instead of something else, perhaps it is because it is the devil you know.
