Protecting the Vacuum's Motor
For more assistance with your vacuum's motor protection, visit support.BISSELL.com.
There is an internal thermal protector in your vacuum that protects it from overheating. It controls the
main vacuum motor only, not the brush motor. When it activates, the main motor will stop. The front
lights and brush roll will stay on but there won't be any suction. If this happens, follow these steps:
1.
Turn vacuum OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Check for the source of overheating problem (full dirt tank, dirty filters or a clog) and fix by
following the steps in the "Vacuum won't pick up dirt" troubleshooting section.
3. When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue. If the vacuum will not turn ON or the thermal protector continues to
activate contact Consumer Care.
