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

Ive had this problem before. I have never figured out what caused it. I let it be for a few minutes and it started working again.. weird.. I'd just let it sit for a few then try it again.

You can get any bissell belt you need at www.vacbelts.com

Make sure you unplug before cleaning turn vaccum upside down check roller
for hair and strings wrapped around brush if this does not help clean out cylinder gently knocking dust out or use a duster to stick up inside lightly cleaning and check filter

If the brush won't spin at all, it's either the drive belt or the roller beater brush is clogged. Pet hair can quickly clog a vacuum. Turn the unit over and see if the brush will rotate by hand. If yes, it's probably the belt. Also look for debris and clear as much out as possible. You may have to remove the bottom plate and clean the bottom of the unit out. If you do have to go that far, it would be best to replace the drive belt and thoroughly clean the vacuum.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. The best place to order the Bissell part is to check with your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or to look @ the Bissell website or to call the Bissell cust serv @ the Bissell factory, and give then the name on the Bissell, Model # and they should be able to send you the part. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

Could be plugged, check the hose and at the bottom by the brush roll, the inlet maybe clogged. Also check the filter under neath the dirt tank. There are filters above the dirt container, clean those out. If after that it is still loud, then maybe the motor fan or bearins are bad and will have to be replaced, part #2031214 sells for around $55.
