I've owned this deep cleaner for over 5 years, and have just discovered this issue today.
Today I went to clean up some cat vomit stains using this machine in portable mode, and I found something peculiar. When I removed the clean water tank to fill it up, I noticed that it was starting to turn yellow around the back and sides! Now, I clean this machine thoroughly after each use and let everything air dry before storage. I have no idea how this happened. Is this a normal occurrence with Bissell machines, or just wet vacuums in general? I am uploading a couple pics below, taken with my phone, an iPhone 6s Plus. The yellowing doesn't really show up with its camera, but it's a lot more pronounced in person. | ||

I wonder if it is like the oxidation that occurs to acrylic car headlights over time turning them yellow and cloudy? Maybe the various compounds to 'refresh' those headlights would work here? | ||

You can de-yellow it, I'm sure. | ||
