My Bissel powerforce vacume filters

Just because you cant see the obstruction doesnt mean theres not one. The hose could be stopped up somewhere not visible to your eyes. I have one and I have to take hose off and apart to clean it out. check the roller. Is it rolling?

No need my friend. Go here. All documentation is here...and....it's free! Hope this helps : )

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about my Bissel but I bet you have the same problem and the hose is clogged...

Bissell Bagless Upright Vacuum not working

heatman101

I found out that if you remove the front filter holder, tip vacuum back and look down inside. Sometimes there is hair caught back in there and you won't get suction. I had to use something long, knife, very long type tweezers, to pull all the hair out. Worked great after that. About half way through vacuuming I will stop and remove the foam rubber filter and clean it. Oh yea, you will have to use a flashlight to look down inside to see all the hair caught behind the foam rubber filter cup.

take the dirt cup out and turn the bottom of it that will let you get to the filter,there should be some finger twist plates on the top,turn and take it out,there will be a foam cover around the filter,take that off and clean with warm warter,when done towel dry with paper towels,now the filter itself is water friendly ,take a brush and in up and down strokes ,clean while running water over it.above where the dirt cup goes is another filter ,just reach up inside and twist and it will come out,clean that also.now put the dirt cup back in without the filter and see if you have suction,i believe you will.let the filters dry before you put them back in then reassemble,and if that don't work, the take the hose off and see if you can blow through it .if thats not it then at the bottom on the right you will see a clear hose,thats your intake hose.there is a screw on the black fitting thats connected to it ,take it out and get you a coat hanger and bend the tip so its rounded ,thats so you don't puncture a hole in the intake hose.work the hanger down into the intake hose and push out the clog .then try it again..please leave feedback.i hope i was some help to you.iwould clean the foam filteres at least once a month

check filters and for blockage - poor air flow then will overheat
