You, my dear, are a lifesaver! I went to clean a “dog accident” late last night and our Bissell started making an awful noise. With the help of your video I dismantled it, gave it a thorough cleaning, and we were back in business. Thank you SO much for this wonderful resource!
Time to order a new set of belts it sounds like-it is only a matter of time. And yes it will be late at night and the worst kind of mess too.
This video saved me a lot of time to not have to fiddle around with it all day (your son also entertained my 13 year old son with his his tractor!)
You are the woman! I'm so proud of you for fixing this yourself.
Almost had a meltdown because I couldn't remember how to put it back together after taking the brush out to clean the bottom. LOL. This video is immensely helpful! Thank you so much for your time and sharing!
kissmissthis Ha! Likewise!!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video....it is the best I have seen....very easy to follow your instructions and it absolutely fixed my shampooer. Bissell's 800 number was worthless...the person helping knew less than I did. Listen to this lady folks she has it down pat !
AWESOME video! Thank you! I inherited my dad's cleaner and I didn't know how to fix it. Your video was so straightforward and easy to follow. I ordered all the parts for $25 including shipping and now the power head is spinning again! I love saving money AND keeping things out of landfill. CZcams strikes again!
Great video!!! Most people just throw them away and go buy a new one. Those of us on a tight budget have to get our hands dirty. Thanks for posting!! so appreciated!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're welcome.
Love your straight hair !
Thanks!
@@mommymilestones Great job on the video too girl ! I been wanting to do some how to videos also but lack confidence to move forward . Keep up the great work!
Have to say Thank You! I ordered my Bissell Carpet cleaner for $5 and paid $5 shipping-arrived in two days.I spent 50 minutes on taking it apart-putting it back together and realizing that you put both belts on while apart so apart again and back together so I now reconize all the parts you talked about and know it like the back of my hand now.I was following paper instructions instead of you like I should have done.Thanks because mine cleaner cost me $300.00 and now I am a repair woman.
That is super! Good job! Those paper instructions are always so incomplete or unclear.
I just want to say thank you for adding that part where you said push the retainer clip in until you hear a snap at around the 5:30 Mark. I bought a new retainer clip and was trying to put it in and was afraid if I pushed it too hard I was going to break it so I found your video and I just want to say thank you
Wow pretty amazed by the narration...clear voice...clear explanation...born to teach...thank you...
Best instruction video ever! Thank you so much! I think Bissell should give you a bonus.
You rock! I was in the middle of cleaning my carpet - bam, my machine stopped working. I followed your video and fixed it in 20 minutes. Thanks for saving me cash!! Laughed out loud at your son's you truck.
Timothy Zimmer So glad the video helped you fix your Bissel. Plastic keeps the product cost down but it does ensure repair. Americans complain about about quality but never learn to repair anything like our granpdarents did. Kudos to you on that! Little boys like to jump in the videos. Watch the latest video on filtering raw milk we made last week. Years later the same hijinks are going on.
Thank you. Just finished cleaning all of the build up inside thanks to this video.
Awesome. I replaced my pump belt in 10 minutes using your video.
Nothing better than seeing a woman fix something...clear instructions and im overwhelmed with relief....now I dont have to buy a new one thank you
Great job. You explained everything I need to know....exactly. Thanx
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much. I ordered these same parts for mine and the replacement instructions that accompanied them were so unclear. Your video helped so much.
2022 and just fixed my Bissell PowerSteamer. Thanks!
Its great that Bissell makes them generally the same. Good job 👏
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful. Those clips were hard to put back in but I finally got it. I couldn't have done it without you!
Good job!
Great job, Mom.....clear. concise, and easy to understand. You're a good instructor!
Geared belt is the brush belt, pump belt is accessed from the top. A skinny screwdriver slothead works best to pry off the pump belt holder, that is another video... This is a good video, just wanted to note that brush belt was the one she replaced. Not the pump belt, but I suppose it hooks to the pump so it's sort of okay to call it the pump belt. There are 2 belts, mine had a broken pump belt when I bought the whole unit used at the 2nd hand store, replaced the pump belt and saved a lot of $$, it works great! People could have just changed one belt and it would have worked, but they went out and bought a new one I bet... My lucky day...
Great video. Thank you so much for the easy instructions, I decided to do some cleaning and your video made it so much easier. I tried the manual and ended up saying "huh?"
I think I have the same problem with the black clip on the left side, since it would not come off, but it will work at least for the spot cleaning (my 17 yr old cat will go head to head with any dog on making a mess...the great puker). Just a note, Amazon has a Bissell store and if you have Prime membership you can get the parts in a couple days with no shipping costs. I decided to order a new roller with the clips and both the pump and brush belts for Bissell Pro-Heat (older model) for the grand total $22.58 which included WA State tax.
Thank you again for giving me the courage and the great instructions to take it apart and replace the things I needed to. .
This video really helped me replace my belts. I tried to figure it out on my own, but finally gave up. Thanks so much for posting this instructional.
Thanks for the step by step instructions. My mother literally was just going to throw the vacuum in the trash.
A new one will just do the same in time. Better to repair things and wear them out entirely.
Thank You so much! Worked like a charm!
Great job! My Bissell is not same as yours but similar. This video was very helpful! Thank you so much!
First things first. I hope that you are not offended if I say that you have a beautiful smile.
That being said, I wanted to reiterate that the official bissell instructions are indeed microscopic, if not worthless. I am here because of them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Something I thought might bear repeating is the fact that you MUST vacuum the floor before running your steam cleaner. This is the cause of many issues on this and like machines with plastic parts. Jamb up the works with gunk then rotating parts seize, plastic and rubber parts quickly melt. Best regards.
Thank you so much!!! You Are the reason it's working again..
very thorough and complete ........You did an excellent job.
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Your *supervisor* is way too cute!
He's still cute at 16!
Nice job. I've been cleaning and trying to reassemble my exact same model off and on all morning. Your video helped get us back on the road.
Glad I could help
the exact same thing happened to my Pro Heat - it has been waiting for so long to be put back together, thank goodness for your video ! I had all the bits here but forgot how to re assemble .. sorted now :)
Thank you for your video! Helped me a lot.
Thank you for posting this. My brush was making a bad noise. I couldn't figure out how to get the brush off. Turns out there was pet hair stuck in the teeth of the roller brush. All fixed now. Thanks!
Awesome video♥️
Thank you 🤗
Nice job looks like you had a lot of help, by the way that belt you have there is the brush belt, the water pump belt is on the other side.
Yes
Nice
Very nice not to bad. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! This saved me today. Now I know I can order the parts and repair it too. I was just trying to clean all the gunk out of it.
It's amazing how much dirt accumulates in it. Especially if you have pets!
Took mine apart today and those side caps for the brush off and there is a brass bushing inside... Doesn't look like urs had em or even the new ones you bought. As a side note I got all my parts from Amazon for half the Bissell prices and was shocked I could even get them cuz my machine is over 15 years old.... 😁
So I take 3 screws out and I'm just about done, mine had all dog hair everywhere. It's tricky getting the belt on but mine had ridges. I did the job with the lever pushed in so the roller would flex and the vacuum upside down. It's smart to just take it apart and clean under the brush. I probably prevented breaking one of those plastic sides. You'd think there could be a better design there. Thanks so much for the easy fix.
Nice video! I too am a woman fixing my own Bissell - I have a Proheat, but the brush location, belt, etc. are all in the same place as this model. Your instructions were very helpful! Thank you. :)
Elaine Streily
Thanks for this video! I was able to clean out all the gunk from my machine.
Good for you!
Great video mum!!!Love it!
Thank you!!
Thank you. Very nice video. Well done.
Well done Mommy. Wish there were more like you haha
Thank you for sharing that!
You're welcome!
Thank you sooo much! Took my mom's apart to clean it and for the life of me couldn't figure how to make the brush stay connected! I put the red clips on before I put the brush...silly me!
the belt that is attached to the roller is actually the roller belt. The pump belt is smoother. I found it less expensive to get the same parts from Amazon. The fit the manufacturers specs perfectly. Good video. Had to repair and replace the pump belt on my Bissell ProHeat 2x Professional Pet.
great video. .thanks
thank u so much for posting this video i have the same exact carpet cleaner. i was looking to know how to change the pump belt which i found in walmart and needed to know how to change it. see not all of us woman need a man around to fix things
brandon gallucci "not all of us women" and your
name is Brandon here lol
Thanks for the help
No problem
Thank you!!!
U Are AWESOME.....Thank U
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !
I am personally on my 4th machine.
I purchased the first one in Feb 2014.
5 1/2 months later, it started just not spraying water or the brushes stopped working. One thing after another.
So I contacted Bissell who happily sent me another one.
After 2 cleans with it, I turned it upside down to clean it and saw a sticker that said Refurbished.
Disappointed it wasn't new, but continued to use it a few more times.
Sure enough, after about 5 months again, started acting up.
Contacted Bissell again. They sent me ANOTHER refurbish did NOT work right out of the BOX!
they basically said too bad.
Well, after a couple of videos and complaints on the web, the supervisor sent me a brand new one.
Well, here it is 3 months later and the brushes stopped working.
I give up.
BTW, whoever decided to put those little cheap red pieces of plastic on the machine needs to be fired.
The bend when you try to pull them out, and then they never want to go back in.
so glad i found this whew i thought i broke my carpet cleaner my husband whould have been pissed. i was just cleaning it. then i started taking things apart lol.
awesome video, i just bought a bissell proheat and the brush would stop when you tried to use it, come to find out the brush retainers wernt in the right place. this helped me out tons, thank you
Great Job!.... Thank You!!
Thanks I'm glad it helped!
Thank you!! Both red clips had snapped off mine and I didn't know how to put the new pieces on!
You're welcome!!
Very informative video
Glad you liked it
Well done...
Thanks!
Help! So mine is spraying out the water however, it isn’t filtering through the top transparent area. I’m not sure if there is a reason why the water is going out but maybe somewhere is broken which is not sucking the dirt and water back up and blowing it through the top compartment into the bucket? I’m lost 🙈
Well done
THANK YOU!
No problem
like there is vents underneath there too, can I spray over those areas without damagin the machine? Thaks much
Totally different model but thanks you helped me so much, when they manufactured it one of my retainer clips was under the roller pop out part haha anyways now im ready to shampoo!!
Bissel was very helpful in keeping several parts and basic designs the same for so many years or several models. Have fun cleaning the rest of the day. :)
Thankyou now im trying to figure out a Photoshop project and trying to figure out where one certain option is lol
Friction caused a buildup of heat, and caused part to melt. I always add a little bit of synthetic grease to the metal shaft and into the 'cup' in which the shaft sits, this keeps eveything lubricated and cool.
please help...my half-moon window keeps falling out. How do I tell if it's broken, or how do I get it in right
Great video. By the way I ordered the wrong part, but a friendship wrist band fit perfectly.
Thats a great idea! They always break down midway into a room.
thanks
This video was awesome. Now can you help me figure out why it's suction power stopped working? Please.....
They're is a pump that manages the suction. If you have none at all this is it.
Thank you
Absolutely you're welcome!
Yeah, my bissell will not turn on, and I don't think it's the belt. I used it a few months ago and it had a burning smell, so I turned it off immediately. I put it away for awhile, b/c I had a busy schedule, so I cleaned it out, thinking that was the problem, and turned it back on, but now it no longer turns on -- checked out all the outlets in the house, and still doesn't turn back on. Looked for the problem online, and couldn't find the answer.
Do you think it's a motor problem, and if so, is there a way to fix it? Thanks.
Can you do a video on how to put back the hoses inside the handle? I took it a part because I noticed my problem why the bissell proheat wasnt releasing water was because the heater was full of white stuff im guessing hard water I cleaned all the hoses in the entire machine but now I can't remember where they go. Plus I can't find anything online that could help me.
It sounds the pump has failed. It could be that a hose leading to or from the pump also. You can check the hoses for damage once it's apart but the pump is most likely the failure. Still replaceable though and cheaper than a new cleaner. Good luck!
Thanks!. That's just what I needed. I guess we did it right afterall. I was wondering if the brush comes off easily to get tangled hair off. Looks like it just lifts up but doesn't come off. thanks.
I just cut the hair and strings off in a straight row then roll it by hand while removing the pieces.
Thanks!
Hi your video is awesome I actually took the brush out by just pulling the edges out I cleaned it and put it back but now my soapy solution leaks from the right side. Could you help me what could be wrong
make sure you have 2 belts. It sounds like the pump belt is gone.
Thank you will check and replace
My retainer clip (the larger one on the left) broke as I was snapping it in...ugh. Do you know if I can purchase one? Ty for the post. It helped!
Jessica
Jessica Jessica go to Bissel.com You can find out the part number then order from them or Ebay. I got mine so fast as the warehouse is about an hour from me. Next day or 2 day if I remember right. My kids are slobs and I couldn't live without my carpet cleaner. I have seriously thought about taking most of the carpeting out of the house. Someday a remodel with only area rugs so I can replace them every few years. It will be a long time before my little ones are grown. :)
My problem is it spins when upright but as soon as I release it to the downward position to clean it stops spinning.
I loved your little one's help.
OMG! =Gracias= But is that black side peice holding the bush so easy to 'properly' set in place? I seemingly have nothing holding mine in, other than than that broken stem and a so-so tight space (cuz my brush didn't spin as much with it fallingdown.) But I have the one without handheld nozzle. FYI, I had to super-glue the small metal gear that spins belt and brush. (filled hole with glue, then placed)
Hi mom, I have a question. My friend let me borrow her cleaner that is just like yours. She said it has been in the garage for a few years and she said she thinks it works as far as she can remember.
I was checking out the machine just now and I noticed that the switch on the side for adjusting the carpet length or beater bar is stuck on high. I want it to be on the lowest setting to get the best agitation to the carpet and it won't move at all.
I don't want to put water in it and it not work... Is it normal for the setting to be stuck like that? Do I have to turn it on before I can change the setting or is this one broken? Please help....
The adjustment is so minimal it really does not make a major difference if it is stuck. Tip it up, like a wheelie, then adjust it. You may not be seeing it move up or down as it only regulates the beater bar not the rear wheels.
So how did you find out it was the brush?
I would purchase the lint screen to save the life of the machine. My cleaner solution dispenser quit once as I had turned it too far and dislodged it it the water only position. You have to take it apart to fix it or you can add the cleaner right to your water tank. If you have the heat version solution can get dried between use in the hoses. You can flushes them out with hot water if you take it apart. I clogged mine once trying to use oxyclean with water in a test spot.
I have the Bissell Pro Heat Pet. I am having an issue, I took off the clear plastic front and cleaned all the dry pet hair. I scraped the entire surface of both the clear plastic and the black plastic. When I put the clear plastic back on and screwed it back in place it's not sucking very well now. I assume I scraped off some sealant. What are your thoughts on how to fix?
I would guess that that black rubber gasket that meets the clear plastic and solid p km a stick is loose , damaged or missing. It is a rectangle gasket near the top arch .
Is it that gasket that is under the gray plastic that moves up and down based on the knob labeled hand tools or vacuum?
how did you get the clear plastic piece off
+Crystal McClain If you mean the part where the water goes in there are Philips screws along the edge.
Don't forget to clean the suction filter on the top part. If it's plugged it won't suck.
On mine, it was squealing a lot and giving off a motor burning smell. It turned out to be the small motor that spins the beater brush. It had been exposed to water and that had dispersed any bearing oil. So I took that portion apart and gave the motor an oil job. After giving the motor oil job was completed, the little motor had a big smile on its face, and was smoking a tiny cigarette. Just kidding LOL. Anyhow, everything was back to working up to par.
How did you take the red plastic piece off? Trying to check mine now!
It has a screw holding it in place. Lift out with needle nose pliers. Good luck!
I have the same cleaner, the issue that I'm having is that it will not suck up the water. What do you think that could be?
Sonja Usher I have the same problem now.
My cleaner is dragging the front plastic piece on the carpet & breaking pieces of the plastic off. Do you know why?
Adjust your height
my carpet cleaner has no suction... have taking apart really can't figure out what the problem.. do you know?
The pump controls suction. I went straight through Bissell for my replacement. Easy parts list reference when you enter your model number. For me they are an hour away but no local pick up, I ordered it the evening and had it the next day. Easy repair and such huge savings over a new machine. Especially for me, I did not want a heated version as the failure rates are fantastic and the unheated versions are small and cheap.
+mommymilestones Great video; thanks. Do you also have a video where you follow the suction and work on the pump? I have learned so much and saved so much money from home repair videos on CZcams. No worries about the kids, btw. That's a Mom's life!
I tried to clean the lint on the tank cover but I'm having trouble opening the top lid such hard plastic.
There are screws along the bottom and a rubber gasket at the top. The 2 comined create a tight seal over years of use. If it is dry it's all the harder to get off. Best to remove when freshly used with hot clean water.
i need a picture of the inside of the bissle power steamer. my son took it apart trying to fix a problem, and now i cant figure out where all the hoses go. so a picture showing how the hose are connected would be very helpful
I was using mine and in the middle of use it stopped running? Turned it over and the belt had broke. Would this keep it from turning on?
The belt powers the pump not the motor. Check another outlet in the house to make sure it is not a breaker or fuse in the basement.

I got one some what like yours had it for years went out on me but I did not throw it out cause I think I can fix anything cause the repair man try to charge me a 100bucks before I told him he can keep it I bought another but now I'm ready to go n and fix it the on I have now just been putting it off for to long...
Isn't the belt with notches for the brush and the smooth 2nd belt for pump?
My slick belt keeps melting.
It sounds like your pump might be the problem.
Mommymilestones I found the belt on roller was over the edge.
If that last thing isn't spinning.. what does that mean exactly, and how do I fix it? I have a slightly different model than you do.. but those basic parts you went over appear identical.. so I'm at a loss. Water is coming through the bottom.. but it's not spraying. I have the proheat pet, and I cannot find any info anywhere.. Bad when you can't find it on youtube..
Hellnogizmo It sounds as if your pump is bad. The pump pressurizes the water through the machine , without it you only get a trickle. The pump also is the driving force behind the beater brush. The only way to know for sure is look at the parts after it is taken apart. The beater brush can fail independently of the pump but when it does and you continue to run it it usually burns up the pump. The cost of parts is well worth the repair and it is fairly simple. You can complete the job in 20-30 minutes with kids distracting you, which is less time than running to the store for a new machine and putting it together. Look on Bissell.com for your model number and a parts list. They ship fast and you will fell accomplished in your repair.
That sounds amazing. I'm sure it's also way cheaper than a new machine. Lol. Thank you so much. Yea.. the water just runs out of the machine if I pour it in the bottom.. thanks again for the tip. Bissell.com, here I come!
