Why is my Bissell Vacuum Cleaner not picking up dirt?

  There are several reasons why your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner might not be picking up dirt. It could be due to a crack or hole in the hose, which would require you to check the hose and replace it if needed. The rotating floor brush bristles might be worn, which means you should replace the brush. Also, ensure that the dirt container or cyclone is correctly positioned and locked in place. Another cause may be that the variable suction power is set to the low setting; in this case, rotate the variable suction counterclockwise for full suction power. Lastly, the filters might be dirty, so check and clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters.

  If your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner won’t turn on, it could be due to a blown fuse or tripped breaker; check and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Another possibility is that the vacuum is in the upright position; recline the vacuum to operate the brush.

  If you see dirt escaping from your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner, the dirt container might be full; empty it. Also, the filters or secondary cyclone might be missing or installed incorrectly; check the secondary cyclone, pre-motor, and post-motor filters for correct installation. It's also possible that the dirt container is installed incorrectly; pull it out and re-insert it correctly.

  If there is no power at the rotating floor brush of your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner, the brushroll may have automatically turned off to prevent damage due to a clog or large debris. Locate the brush reset button on the lower back right of the unit and press the red button.
