Bissell Dirty Water Tank As...
$62.99
Product details
Part 162-6482 is the purple dirty water tank assembly for the Bissell PowerClean model 3071 carpet cleaner, the recovery container that collects soiled water and lifted debris and keeps it separate from the machine's clean solution supply.
Bissell lists this tank for the 3071 and for no other model, so it is a single-machine part rather than one shared across a family. A tank that has cracked at a seam, warped out of shape, or lost its seal will not hold suction properly, and you tend to notice it as reduced pickup, a tank that will not settle down flush on the machine, or damp patches left in carpet that used to come up dry.
- Part: 162-6482 dirty water tank assembly
- Fits: Bissell PowerClean, model 3071
- Color: Purple
This tank fits PowerClean model 3071 only, so check the number on your unit's rating plate against 3071 before you order part 162-6482.
Take the tank out, rinse it and look at the seal and the rim under good light before ordering. A seal that has flattened, or a tank that no longer seats down completely, is behind a good share of the lost-suction complaints that get blamed on the motor, and both are easy to see once the tank is out of the machine and clean.
