floor height selector not working model 1797

If the floor height selector is not working on the Bissell model 1797 with part number HELIX, it may be due to a replacement part not fitting properly. Specifically, the guides on the replacement part may stick up too far, preventing the brushes from touching the floor and the height adjustment from working. To fix this, you may need to carefully grind down the tabs on the part until it fits and functions correctly.

Floor height not working

The floor height issue on a Bissell PowerForce Helix vacuum can be caused by a manufacturing defect in the height adjustment setting. The problem occurs when the vacuum does not lower beyond the highest adjustment, making it ineffective on bare floors. To fix this issue, you need to take the vacuum apart and inspect the height adjustment mechanism. Once identified, adjust or repair the mechanism so that it properly raises and lowers as intended.
