How to Fix a Bissell Roller Brush Once It Is Stuck
Like with any vacuum cleaner, the roller brush on a Bissell may become stuck when hair and other debris wrap around it. When the roller brush gets stuck, the vacuum fails to pick up debris on the floor. To return the Bissell vacuum cleaner to working condition, you must clean the roller brush to remove the items wrapped around it. Does this Spark an idea?

Pull the roller brush directly up out of the bottom of the vacuum and slide the rubber belt off the end. If you cannot remove the belt due to the buildup of hair and debris, use a utility knife to cut the hair away from the roller brush at the end so that you can slip the belt off. Be careful not to cut the belt.
