I recently got a cordless 2-in-1 stick vac and the brush only turns every once in a while. How can I fix this? Its like it has a short in it.
Make sure the vacuum is turned off before troubleshooting.
Check that there is no material clogging the vacuum or the brush and belt assembly. Remove the brush as check for hair binding the roller. Look at th ed belt to see if its crazed. When installed, the belt should be very tight and not slip.
If either the belt or brush seem worn down or broken, follow the manufacturers replacement guide in your owner's manual.
Other possibilities include a defective switch controlling the brush. When running try jinging the switch to see if it has any effect.
If both the brush and the belt are working correctly, and the switch is working, the brush motor could be broken. If there is a humming or clicking sound (when the belt and brush is removed), this is a clear sign of the brush motor being faulty.

Very loud screeching ,continuous when turned on
Hi dfabin,

Does the screeching come from the motor area or the brush/belt area?

If it's from the motor. Turn it off. It needs repair.
If it's from the brush/belt area, most likely your belt is either slipping or rubbing on something.
Do you have an owner's manual?
If you do, and the noise come from the belts, take the belt(s) off and check them for wear, stretching, anything imbedded in them. Be sure to clean all debris out of the area. and reassemble. If still noisy, the belt may be slipping and needs to be replaced.
Here's a site where you can view the parts breakdown and order parts: http://www.vacpartswarehouse.com/Bissell-Healthy-Home-Models-5770-5990-6100-6405-s/600.htm

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a vote. Thanks,

Brush doesn't work,red light is on says to see owners manual,belt is not broken.
The belt may have streached so that when pressure is applied to it the belt slips. The belt will not be broken just streached to far.

Belt is melting or burning not sure why
It doesn't matter what or why. Use your owners manual and it will show you how to change the belt. When you open it up whatever is hanging the brush roller up will either show itself or when you remove the brush roller it will fall out. Change the belt. That smell is the motor shaft slipping past the belt and burning it with friction. Either way the belt will need changing if it's had that much wear on it.

It smells like something is burning and then I saw smoke coming from the bottom, where the roller brush is.
That means that the belt is very worn and it is slipping on the motor. You need to replace the belt. Here is a link to the belts you need and a manual you can view with instructions:

New Eureka vacuum cleaner belt keeps slipping off
You may have a bad brush roll, part #61250-1, or the base itself has a problem and isn't letting the brush roll sit straight so it can be in alignment.
