why do roller brushes start then stop ?

Sorry Glen, I am not able to answer your question. We only used our Bissell ProHeat 2X one time. It worked great. The next time we attempted to use it, it would not operate. From now on I will rent a cleaner for our carpet, or have a service clean. Very expensive machine when it does not work, in my opinion. Good Luck!

On my ProHeat Pet the brushes stop when the handle is locked upright, I presume so you don't park it and wear a hole in the carpet. Once you lower the handle to start cleaning again they start spinning again.

YES! only when using the brushroll. took it to a vacuum repair shop and they said it was an issue with the hose (i assumed they meant the connection between hose and brush roll power/functions). they repaired and it worked...for a little while. back to cutting off by itself again. planning on taking it back in. i googled the problem and seems to be somewhat common issue.

Mine started doing the same thing but,this is after over 6 years of use. If I remove the ball and clean the rollers and the little window my computer will pick it up again with a restart. I just thought mine was age since I have used it so long and my laptop is about 8 years old as well. No problems before now. I have the same one at work and it is just as old and no issues to date.

Those black "dots" are brushes. I do not know what they do, other than I think they help keep thread, hair and other long objects from getting wrapped on the roller. That's my guess. This roller fits the "E" series only as far as I can see. It does not say SE on the application.

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

If the brush has stopped turning you either have something stuck between the brush and the bottom housing, not likely, or the band that turns the brush that is attached to the motor has broken. I keep a spare because in all upright vacuums these thick black rubber bands brake from time to time. You can buy one on line from Amazon, they don't cost much so buy two so you always have one on hand.

Mine few over cord I accidentally leave out just fine. I think there are even sensors designed to stop the brushes and just drive over the cords without trying to suck them up.

I believe if you read the owner's manual rhat is caused by you turning it off before it runs through its 2 minutes brushing cycle. When you turn it off and then back on it picks up from you stipped. Just let it turn itself off.

Are you referring to the rotating roller brush? If so, I don't believe so....

Yes, there's a switch next to the on/off switch to turn off the brush roller. Very convenient.

A brush or a roller worked for me. I used a brush I could just throw away afterward.

I have only used it a couple of times since I received it, so I am still using my first roller. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

I guess you have considered a broken belt? Also, were both top buttons turned on? Is anything binding the brush (something- like string or other soft item) the brush? I haven't had that problem so I'm just throwing things at the wall. Good luck.

you have control over whether the brush is spinning, even when using it as an upright. setting 1 is no-brush (for hard floors) and setting 2 is with the brush. there's a safety feature where you can't have it on "2" unless you step on the release pedal and move the body of the vacuum back. you can't have the brush going while it's locked in the upright position, which is the position you'd use for the tools.

I don't know if I would call it self-propelled, but when the roller brush is on and it's clean, mine pulls itself. Without the brush on, it doesn't do it.

you have to take the small spinner brush apart - it is very easy - when you take it apart you will see a tiny rubber belt - take that off and clean around the wheel - you will probably find something is caught around it - this brush stopped on me and after taking it apart and cleaning it inside - it started again - you will have to do this every once in awhile - good luck

First make sure that your intake hose isn't clogged. That would stop the motorized brush on mine every time. If a clogged hose isn't the problem and the reset button doesn't do the trick, then I'd call Dyson's service department. The number should be on their website.
