How do I take my vacumn apart to reach the cord to repair the plug?

Contact Bissell directly to request the diagram.

Call cust. service. They send you a new machine,

The cord may have a broken conductor inside - shorten the cable by 6" or so and remake the connection.

This is a very common fault caused by repeated over enthusiastic tugging over a long period - the wires inside stretch and eventually break apart. Tends to happen at a "tight" bend point - either close to machine or the plug.

call a vacumn or small appliance repair shop most vacumn repair shops will know what bags you need esp if they service your model or may be able to tell you who to call

The easy answer to this problem is you need a new cord. Any fit all 20 to 35 foot two wire cord will work. However, you will need to take disassemble the almost the entire vacuum to test the current cord to see if it is bad. There are a lot of pieces to take off to get to the inside of the vacuum where the cord enters from the back. You could also have a bad motor.

Turn on the vacuum but don't move it--just start at the plug end of the cord, bend and pull gently on the cord, but hold the plug in the socket. Work along the cord while listening to the motor for cutoff. When you get to the internal break in the cord, any bending or pulling will immediately start and stop the motor. If this occurs near either end of the cord, it can be cut off shorter and a replacement plug put on (if on that end). If it is the vacuum end, the machine needs to be disassembled part way to reattach the cord. If the break is near the center of the cord, just replace the entire cord. Good luck!

Did you try a different outlet? The cord may have gone bad, most of the times I find that people don't pull the plug out of the outlet by the plug, they just pull the cord, or it got yanked out some other way and that will break the wire inside the cord. Other then that, it would have to be taken apart to find the problem.
