    the process you provide doesn't relate to the Bissell 8975 (eg. it doesn't have a bag)
    Tried to follow your instructions for accessing the motor but still can't do it. think you're refering to a different model. appreciate the attempt though

    i still have no idea of how to access the motor. if i did then your latest advice would probably be applicable.
    i've removed about 3 pounds of philips screws from the machine but still cannot get into the motor.
    think from your latest probably the motor bearings are the problem.

    since no one seems to know how to service a bissell model 8965, i would like to get a refund. please advise how to do that.

    Bissell vacuum model 8975
    making much noise, think it is motor bearings (if there are any). cannot access the motor.
    how is motor accessed.
    instruction received so far has not been applicable to Bissells.

Hi,

Is the smell rubber or electrical?If rubber then the belt is slipping and needs to be replaced, they stretch after awhile. Also is the brush roll turning freely, or is it bound up, it may have to be replaced. If the smell is electrical, then probably the motor is going bad and will have to be replaced.

    Also ry to hear where the source of the noise is coming from. If it's
    coming from the motor area, you probably have a broken fan in the motor
    and need to replace the fan (very common in vacuums where dirt goes
    through the motor instead of bypassing). If the noise is coming from
    the brush area of the vacuum, you probably have a broken bearing in
    your brush roller and would need to replace the brush itself, or the
    body is worn where the brush is mounted to the vacuum, in which case
    you would need to buy a new vacuum.

    1. Be sure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged. The lower handle screw and
    the handle must be removed. If there is an accessory hose, remove it.

    2. Turning the vacuum cleaner over, remove the top cover screws. Then
    turn the machine right side up again and shift the height adjustment
    out of the way. Then you can lift off the cover.

    3. Remove the brush roller (beater bar) and drive belt and then remove
    the motor. The motor clamp is secured by a screw that must be removed.
    When you reinstall the parts, be sure you do not damage the gasket at
    the other end of the motor.
    Be sure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged. First you remove the dust bag,
    filter, and all hoses. Take off the cover screws and then lift off the
    cover so you can access the motor and electrical components.

BISSELL powerforce helix silver piece fell out? 2191 not compact

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.

I vacuumed last week and it worked fine. Now I turn it on and the light is the only thing on. What is wrong?

Hello Jeannette, you unit probably needs a system maintenance. Their are quite a number of possible problems affecting your unit.The belt could have cut thereby not rolling the motor, the motor could have become bad and the control board could have gone bad. Although apparently since the light still comes on this indicates that the power is still supplied into the unit. trouble shooting tips for vacuums differ what is the exact make and model of your unit? Let me know this so i can provide more exact answers for your problem.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

Hi,

Actually there not supposed to burn up. I have read some reviews on that model Kenmore and it seems it is plagued by electrical problems.

I would definitely contact Sears customer service.

My vacuum makes a loud noise like a soccer horn going off, and neighbors are yelling at me for it! how do i make it quiet? its a bissel.

If you haven't changed the belt recently I would try that. Worn belts can cause funny noises sometimes. You can get Bissell replacement belts here:

Hoover Model S3281, disassembly instructions

GET TO THE REEL AS FOLLOWS:

(BEFORE YOU START, BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE DIMENSION FROM THE OUTLET)

1). TURN VACUUM OVER AND USE A FLAT-BLADE SCREWDRIVER TO WEDGE/SLIDE THE WHEELS OFF (PUT THE SCREWDRIVER BLADE BETWEEN THE LITTLE BLACK WHEEL BRACKET PIECE AND THE GREY CHASSIS OF THE VACUUM AND SLIDE/WIGGLE THE WHEELS OFF);

2). THE 2 DEEP HOLES AT THE TOP OF EACH WHEEL RECESS LEAD TO 1-1/2" LONG PHILLIPS SCREWS >> UNSCREW THEM;

3). AFTER REMOVING ALL 4 SCREWS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO EASILY LIFT OFF THE TOP OF THE REEL/MOTOR COMPARTMENT.

4). CAREFULLY LIFT AND ROTATE THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE SIDE.

5). THE REEL IS NOW IN PLAIN SIGHT.

6). I’M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE-OUT HOW TO SAFELY ACCESS THE GUTS OF THE REEL MYSELF. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT VACUUM POWER AND ALSO WITH WEAK CORD RETRACTION.


ANYWAY, GOOD LUCK TO YOU !!!
