20 Most Recent Bissell 1695 PowerSteamer Vacuum Questions & Answers

Hi, my name is John I will do my best to assist you.

1. Referring to this assembly diagram check part 17 the timing belt. I can't tell from the drawing but this belt may have something to do with pump operation.
2. Check part 39 the pump tubing for any signs of problems.
3. If the pump is part of the motor assembly meaning it is directly driven by the motor shaft, if possible separate the pump assembly from the motor for inspection. The pump is most likely a diaphram pump, the rubber diaphram me have collapsed, or worn out.
4. I noticed that there is a bridge rectifier diode part 35 as part of the electrical supply circuit. This indicates that there is a component that requires DC current. The rectifier diode converts AC house current to DC 12 volts most likely. If there is a separate pump motor that is yet to be located, it probably operates on this 12 volt DC power. It is possible that the rectifier diode is bad.

• If you are knowledgeable about electronics, and have a multimeter you can test the rectifier diode. If you choose to do this USE CAUTION because you will need to have the cord plugged in to do this test. DO NOT touch any of the wiring, or terminals with any part of your body or you could be shocked. DO NOT allow any bare wires, or terminals to short to eachother.
• With the multimeter set to the DC volts scale connect the test leads to the 2 terminals of the diode part 35 that are NOT connected to the AC power cord. You should get a reading of approximately 12 volts. If not the diode is probably bad.

I went to the hardware store and bought a foot of non-colapsible hose and two stainless steel hose clamps (taking the "airbox" with me as a guide. The airbox is the rectangular box at the front end of the hose and it does come off the base unit. The unit only needs about 7-8" of hose and the clamps have to go on TIGHT, as the hose will be slightly oversized. I used Plumber's Putty around the inside of the hose to help ensure a seal but you can use other sealants, like silicone. Just give it time to dry before use, at least a day and perhaps two. Use of the clamps is a tight fit and you will have to remove other components to install them but everything will fit.

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.

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.

It sounds like the small silver piece that fell out of your BISSELL Powerforce Helix may be the motor brush. The motor brush is a small, spring-loaded carbon block that makes contact with the motor to conduct electricity. If the motor brush falls out or is not installed correctly, it can cause the motor to make a loud, high-pitched noise. To fix the problem, you should locate the motor brush and try to reinstall it. The motor brush is typically located near the motor on one or both sides of the vacuum. You may need to consult the user manual or contact BISSELL customer service for specific instructions on how to access and install the motor brush. If the motor brush is damaged or missing, you may need to purchase a replacement motor brush from BISSELL or a vacuum repair shop. Once you have replaced the motor brush, the high-pitched noise should go away and the vacuum should operate normally.
