Problem with bissell powersteamer no power

I was using my Powersteamer Pro 1697-M and it sounded like I was losing power and then all of a sudden I did lose power. I have let it set all day thinking that maybe it just got overheated, but that didn't help. When I turn the power button on, it does nothing. Can you help me?

If the motor started to run slow, then stopped, it may have seized and will have to replaced.
