Dog chewed cord on bissell model 6579-2 how do I replace it?

I would say unlikely for a home fix. Getting into vacuums like that is always an issue, but this has the added issue that the cord is auto retractable. The is a small drum with a huge coil spring behind it! Depending where the dog chewed through, you could just wire on a new mains plug?

The power cord should be a standard 3 wire cord. Any hardware store. Just buy the length you want. You will have to remove some covers/plastics to get to where the cord connects inside the vacuum. Look for screws holding panels in place. Once inside, you'll see how the cord is attached. Just replace the old with the new. Not critical which of the flat prong wires goes to + and - but be sure the ground wire (usually copper) goes to the ground screw and not a hot connection.

I don't see the power cord available but would recommend you contact the company through their Customer Support to see if a cord may be made availble; quite possible the cord for another model would be suitable.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about my Bissel but I bet you have the same problem and the hose is clogged...

Bissell Bagless Upright Vacuum not working

Vacuum cleaner power cords are just insulated wires. It should be fairly easy and inexpensive to replace. You did not give a brand or model number, but hear is a list of available vacuum cleaner power cords

I would try to find a repair shop to replace it as bissell does not currently offer replacement power cords (atleast not on their website) if your power cord is only chewed in one place you could always just splice it back together and use some electrical tape. sorry I couldn't be of more help.

My dog chewed through the power cord (luckily unplugged). Are there replacement parts available and I can't seem to find out to detach the cord from the unit.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. There are replacement parts available for the replacement of the power cord and to check your owner’s manual to see the schematics of the replacement of the cord.
