Hi, it's Cindy from Crucial Vacuum,

Your Bissell 9200 Proheat 2x vacuum's brushroll is connected to the motor by two different sized geared belts. Over time, the belt's gears wear down and stretch out losing the grooves and tension that turn the roller. Another cause could be there is debris stuck on the roller and/or bearings. To gain access to your belts and check the source of the problem, please refer to page 15 of your manual, a direct photo is attached.

Hi, it's Cindy from Crucial Vacuum.

Your Bissell 9200 Proheat 2x vacuum's brushroll is connected to the motor by two different sized geared belts. Over time, the belt's gears wear down and stretch out losing the grooves and tension that turn the roller. Another cause could be there is debris stuck on the roller and/or bearings. To gain access to your belts, follow the steps listed below:

1. Step on the release pedal and recline the handle down.
2. Remove the Tank-In-Tank and SmartMix Tank.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver to gently pry the access door, remove belt access door located near the floor cleaning switch nearest to the handle.
4. On the bottom of the machine, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the red retainer plate.
5. Remove the black brush arm holding the brush in place.
6. Locate and adjust the two belts.

Bissell Proheat has two belts. A stretch belt goes from the motor to the pump and a geared belt goes from the pump to the brushroll. Both belts should be replaced once or twice per year.

You will need to unplug the vacuum from the wall, lay it down so you can see the bottom of the vacuum head and remove the bottom plate (foot plate) Probably philllips head screws. pull up on the roller (called the beater bar). The beater bar will come straight up. Disconnect the belt and check the fittings at the ends of the beater bar... I'll bet that they don't spin easily (The fittings have roller bearings in them, and the roller bearings get gunked up with hair, carpet fibers and dirt). Pull the end fittings off of the roller and remove all of the hair and carpet fibers off of the end of the beater bar and the fittings and out of the bearings. Check to make sure that the roller bearings spin freely. If they do not spin freely, put some rubbing alcohol in the bearing (you can pour it onto the bearing and spin the bearing manually until it spins freely, or you can use a spray bottle with alcohol in it as I do. Once the bearing spin freely, dry them out so no alcohol remains in the bearing, then a drop or two of light machine oil (3 in 1 oil will do) in each bearing and spin the bearing again to distribute the oil. Now would be a good time to check for any clogs in the vacuum head where the hose connects, and check the hose for clogs. Reassemble the beater bar and reinstall it in the vacuum with a new belt, reinstall the foot plate.

Your machine should run like new.

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

There are a number of reasons why your brush roller has stopped moving. General maintenance to your vacuum is crucial and will help it work at peak performance.

First things first lets focus on the brush roller. Unplug the vacuum and turn it on its side. Look for any noticeable clumps of debris or hair strands that may be caught in the brush roller. Remove these obstructions, probably best to do so with a scissor if it's hair or long pieces of carpet fibers. After removing the debris try manually rotating the brush roller to uncover other hidden clogs. Another thing to take note of is the condition of the bristles on the roll itself. Are they loose or worn down? These are signs that your brush roller is in need of replacing.

While checking out your brush roll you might as well take a look at your vacuums belt. Your belt should be replaced about every three months. After regular usage, the belt will stretch out, lessening the tension on the brush roller. Lesser tension diminishes the brush roller's turn rate and speed. If the belt feels loose then it certainly is affecting your vacuums suction as well as your brush roll not moving at all.

Is the noise coming from the belt area, ie. beater bar, or does it sound like it is coming from the motor itself? It is possible there is something caught in the brush roller.
When you turn the roller off, does the noise go away?

Your belt is probably broken, stretched or worn. You can get a replacement belt here:

There are two belts. One is a geared drive belt that goes on the pump and the other is a flat belt that goes on the roller brush. The roller brush belt is the same as a regular vacuum. The geared pump belt is a pain in the **** and should be replaced by a vacuum repair tech. You have to disassemble the vacuum to get to it. It's really not worth the hassel when you can pay someone $10 to do it for you.
