Sounds like your brush roll is seized. Remove the brush roll (see picture) and make both of the end caps spin freely. If not, replace it and you should be set.

Make sure that the brush roll spins freely.


Hope that helps.

Dirt lifter power brush won't move
most likely the small belt that turns the brush roller came off or broke, thi item can be purchased where you bought your unit. also, after you replace the belt, clean out tangled hair or strings that may have caused the belt to go.

Brush bar wont turn, Bissell smells like burning rubber
The belt just goes from the motor shaft to the brush roll. Do the ends of the brush trun freely, or is one of them froze up, if so replace the brush roll. If it is ok, try to turn the brush roll by hand, maybe the belt got pinched and won't move.
