I had the same problem on a G5. Repair shop replaced it with a Tech Drive pedal from a G3 and everything has been fine for years now. Please READ CAREFULLY: the pedal from a G3 is different from what you have now - pertaining to safety. The pedal does not have a hinge, so if the machine flips backward (if the machine is pulled from the hose the power cord can make the whole thing flip onto the back of the bag) or you have converted to the canister and are cleaning steps with the floor nozzle assembly (brush roll) the pedal will be moved into D(rive). When using as a canister this is dangerous. I had the same problem on a G5. Repair shop replaced it with a Tech Drive pedal from a G3 and everything has been fine for years now.

Are you referring to the transmission engage pedal on the back of the vacuum?

6 months for me and no such issues. Sounds like switch inside is sticky. May just be a bum one.

No idea 2years and counting. Works very well provide a solution to a near impossible wiring task. Good luck

I haven't had the issue at all and I've had it for 2 years. by reading reviews I think it was solved in fall 2008.

About two years. My problem is that it clicks..something to do with the auto-reverse. I've read that you can remove a piece from inside that will rectify the auto-reverse issue but this particular model doesn't have screws so you can't take it apart!

Mine has been operating this way for over 6 mo. I don't remember how i pushed the right buttons but the instructions should tell you.

Mine still works. I did call for some tech issue years ago and they were very helpful. Good luck.

I had mine for over a year now and we use it all the time....no problems. I would troubleshoot the power connections before removing it.

I just disconnected the old switch one wire at a time and connected the new one a wire at a time. It works fine all these months later.

I have no idea. The two units I have were installed when my place was built around 2003-2004. Only one has failed so far (about a year ago now). When I replaced it, I didn't bother to take apart the old one to see why it wasn't working.

Happened to me too, after 2 years. I opened up the unit and as kaiser4 found out - a flimsy switch. and no way to just buy a screen!!

Sorry, it was almost 2 years ago, I don't remember. But it sounds like yours isn't working properly.

I just had this same problem with mine. Somehow, you've broken the switch. Bissell has a 5 year warranty, which should cover the problem. Their phone number is on their website, and they'll direct you to a local service center.

I have bought this around 2010 and a giant multi colored line pops up in the middle of screen around 2 years ago

Agreed....This product worked great for a couple years and now doesn't. Called Tech Support and got the big goose egg that my model is discontinued and is no longer supported even though the product is clearly with in the 3 year warranty.
