I have a bissell 7.5poweramp uprite vacuum with a broken belt for the brush. What size belt would i need to fix this?

It's probably either just dirty, or the belt is broken. If it's dirty, you can just take the cover off (two Phillips head screws on the bottom) and clean everything off the brush.

If the belt is broken, you can tell by turning the large gear at the back of the brush -- if the brush turns when you spin the gear, the belt isn't broken -- then you'll need to replace it. You can buy a new belt online, or you can buy a replacement Turbo Brush directly from Bissell ($24.99).

Hope that helps!

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

Your belt is stretched, worn or broken and therefore not turning the brush. Here is a link for the replacement belts you need and the manual which has instructions:

There's a Capt. Obvious fix to check before you go any farther. Like many vacuum cleaners, the brushes on the Bissell carpet cleaners, by design, only spin when the handle is not locked in the upright position, so be sure to plug it in, turn it on, and depress the foot pedal to lower the handle while watching the brushes one more time to be sure that the fix isn't that easy.

If the brushes still won't spin with the handle in the unlocked position, lift the handle back up into the locked position, power off and unplug the Bissell, and look down and see if either of the two belts that make the brushes spin are broken, as a broken belt, or a belt that's come off the track, is the next most likely problem. Both belts must be unbroken and in the right place for the roller brushes to spin.

These belts can be seen in the clear plastic pieces on either end of the roller brushes. If you're having trouble locating them, **with the Bissell unplugged so the brushes won't suddenly start spinning and hurt your hand**, try spinning the brushes with your fingers while watching for the belts. They're black, about the thickness of two quarters, and the bigger one of the two (on the left end of the roller brushes, as you face the front of the Bissell), is just big enough to fit around both roller brushes. The smaller belt, goes around the back roller brush on the right and to a smaller cog wheel behind it. If you see a broken belt, or a belt off the track, that's your problem.

Here's a video you can watch for free on Bissell's website that tells how to replace a belt. I'm sure the belts can be ordered online somewhere or found at some Bissell dealers or repair shops. Note, again, the two belts are different. If only one is broken, be sure to order the correct one.

If the belts are intact and in the right place, does the metal cog wheel behind the roller brush right turn when the Bissell is on and the handle is dropped? If not, then the motor that turns that cog wheel must be burned out.

You should see if the brush belt is broken. I broke mine you can find the part at walmart or on bissell.com

Brush belt is very weak.
























































Brush Belt broken or disconnected. Very weak belt. Colossal engineering mistake by Bissell. Belt itself and its components are under way to much stress for the size they developed to perform their task. For Quality Control to let such an obvious blunder pass can only mean that it was intentional for reasons, Im sure, beneficial to Bissell and costly for the consumer. No telling how many people buy another entire machine when this rubberband of a belt breaks like it was intended. Bissell is not a consideration of myself or anyone I can enlighten.

If the roller brush as stopped spinneng .and the brush motor still works the brush belt as broken,
you must replace the brush belt, t
