The center rotating brush of my bissell sweeper is all malformed after a few months of use and the dirt sometimes keep coming out. How to fix? Thanks!

You must sweep up more than just dust and dirt to have bent the brush. You should probably clean out the 2 chambers more often. You can buy a replacement brush for this sweeper for $10. Check out the Bissell web site, http://www.bissell.com. Search on "2201B parts", or go here: http://www.bissell.com/search.aspx?g=1&s;=2201B%20parts. You can probably also buy this from a local store, or from the vendor who sold the sweeper on amazon.

This has not happened to mine, so I guess I'm no help. I hope someone else will come through for you.

Look at the manual that came with your sweeper and/or contact the Worx help line for a technical question such as this.

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

That happened to the first facial brush I had. What happened was the gears inside came apart inside so they weren't touching to spin the brush. So I just bought a new one, you can buy them pretty cheap. It's the best facial brush that doesn't cost a lot and it came with it's own case. I have had my new one now for over a year and it's still going. I also like this brush because it also doesn't do through batteries a lot. I probably change batteries once a month or more.

I just cleaned it with a handheld vac, but I think they need to be replaced every six months, haven't had it that long, but it's doing what we wanted it to do.

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

Ths Slim in my opion is the best upright Dyson of all. When turning it may scratch if front wheels on nozzle are sliding left-right when vacuum is not being pushed forward/backward. The front wheels roll in a straight line and are not castors and so the vac needs to be pushed and turned together to help prevent scratching (not always but sometimes this can be a problem). If pushing/pulling vac while turning - all will be fine. The Fix: Careful when turning or use a Dyson nozzle on the wand when vacuum hard surfaces. This is what I do and it works very well. Brushes on floor nozzle work better at removing sticky dust vs. the rubber blade on Slim (under nozzle). Please reply and let me know if this helps.

I'm sorry but I haven't had this problem so I'm unable to offer a "real" solution. I would suggest, however, that you be certain the area you're cleaning has been vacuumed very thoroughly prior to cleaning.

I've owned this vacuum for a year, and here's what you should know about it: The brush rotates, but it's not electrically powered. Instead it's powered by the vacuum's suction. If you have to vacuum a lot of long hair, then that hair can wrap around the edges of the brush where it turns, and eventually it gets stuck and is not able to rotate. Having talked to Panasonic, they suggested I take the vacuum to an authorized repair center that's located in the neighboring state. Apparently they don't accept mail-ins unless their place has a look at it first. No thanks. After some time I figured out the solution on my own: You then have to take the brush apart, clean it thoroughly, and put it back together. This can become a very tedious process if you vacuum often, and because of this it's not worth the money. Eventually I tossed the thing in the trash, and got the MC-CL902 which comes with an electric powered brush. This thing has been working great for the past several years now without any problems. Only two things to note is that the metal pipe is a little bit shorter than MC-CL485's, and this vacuum uses bags which need to be replaced once they've filled up with dirt. Same thing with its HEPA filter, but it usually needs replacing once every year to a year and a half.

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.

Actually I have no idea about this question, mine has something wrong too right after we received the cleaner, I already returned the machine. Sorry about your cleaner, maybe u can ask the customer service to figure out what happened there. Good luck.

Authorized bissell repair center says that they have a lot of these little things in their shop, all under warranty, all with the motor having burnt in the first year... they are waiting on Bissell to send them a replacement...so I would say, no, if it's not under warranty it's not going to be worth servicing. If I had to do it over again, I would not have gotten this piece of crap.

I haven't had such a problem with my sweeper. Have you assembled it correctly?

I have 4 of these and only one has that problem. I have cleaned it and that helped for a short while and then right back to the same problem. Sorry I can not help you any more.Sandi

Assuming you didn't disassemble it for cleaning, these should be unrelated. I just had the same problem. Mine was 2.5 years old. There's a 3 year warranty. They sent me a new one. With a new warranty. If it's over 3 years old, it's time to buy a new one.

I don't think you can, a vac store can probably repair it for you. Look on the shark website.

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.
