Hair and dust will work its way under the endcaps of the brushroll causing friction which can melt the brushroll and get hot enough to melt the nozzle housing as you have found. You will need to remove the endcaps to clean the debris out before it causes damage. I don't believe the endcaps are removable on your model. It will save you a lot of money in the long run to purchase a new vacuum that has a metal brushroll with removable endcaps. I have a durable long lasting Riccar vacuum with a metal brushroll available at ThatVacGuy.com. With this model you can pull the brushroll out once a year to clean it and install a new belt. With simple routine maintenance you can do yourself this model will perform great for many years.
Hello
At the web link below you will find an exploded view of the Vacuum, the items I think you refer to are 17 and 18 in the picture, neither part is available anymore, the rubber part that you called an "O" ring is a rubber cushion and fits inside the plastic housing above the motor to cushion the motor and isolate vibration. If this is not correct please advise what numbers in the diagram you have a problem with, there are 2 motors, one for suction and one for the brushes, item #30.
this is caused by a dirty air filter and/or a blocked vacume hose ( most of the time the blockage is at the bend where the hose enters the floor sweeper area ) ---
remove and tap out and brush the filter ( or use a air compressor to blow out filter ).
then with the vacume on its side - remove the bottom plate ( like you were going to change the belt ) and use a coat hanger and clean out the hose between the floor sweeper and where the suction hoes attaches. this will restore your vacume to full operation.
Remove the brush from the machine and clean as best you can.
At each end of the brush there is a plastic clip that holds it into the vacuum.
Add some WD40 between the clip and the brush and turn the clip around the brush until it moves freely. Do this for both ends.
Reassemble making sure the belt is properly installed.
something is binding ... i dont know what ... you will have to remove all parts and reinstall again. Make sure the bearings spin on the brush when it is out ... remove all hair and string.
OK - so your brush roller is jammed. And yes, the belt is melting! Unplug the machine, remove the belt (you will need another new one anyway) then see if you can turn the roller by hand. If it turns freely without you doing anything else, then you may have put the new belt in incorrectly. However, you will probably find you can't turn it, or it's hard work (it should rotate freely). Remove the roller and check the bearings - there may well be something tangled up at one end of the roller. If you can get the roller rotating freely, all should be well.
Good luck
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the clean water tank: Ensure that the clean water tank is not empty and is filled with warm tap water and the appropriate Bissell solution. The cap of the clean water tank should be properly closed.
Re-seat the water tank: Remove the clean water tank from the machine and then re-seat it back into the machine.
Check for clogs: There could be clogs in the system that are preventing the water from dispensing.
Check the pump motor: If the above steps don't work, there could be a more technical problem like a malfunctioning pump motor.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Bissell customer service or a professional for further assistance.

No one says the output voltage and amperage, you just buy them for the Bex Bissell unit. They are dual voltage in 110 to 220. If you have the old one, it will be written in tiny writing on the charger, usually white writing on the face and engraved on the inner surface where the pins are. There are a number in the link from Walmart, eBay and Amazon.

If your Bissell Little Green Machine has no suction at the hose end but good suction underneath the dirty water tank, try these steps: check for clogs in the hose and attachment, ensure the tank and filters are properly seated, test without an attachment, inspect for damaged hoses or seals, clean the machine, and run hot water through the hose. If the issue persists, contact Bissell customer support for assistance or consult your user manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Remove the hoses to it and attach a piece of clean PVC pipe. With the power off, blow down the hose The solenoid should be closed. Plug the machine in and press the button for water. You should now be able to blow through it, if it is operating correctly.

Hello Jeanette The answer from 'Rushikesh' that you thanked is from an Indian Artificial Intelligence Answer Bot. The site has been plagued with them for a month or so. They all answer in the same format 1. Repeat the Question. 2. Give five GUESSES to fix. 3. Tell you to consult a professional! From a real person : You need to change the drive belt, simple as that! If you turn the machine over an turn it on, if you carefully put your hand of the brushes, you will find you can stop thee brush from spinning. That shouldn't happen. ..
