To the point and concise EXELENT video. No BS of unnecessary information. Thank you. My only complaint is I wish the person taking the video would have turned the phone 90 degrees so it didn't look like a beginner was filming. Aspect ratio issue is the ONLY problem in my opinion. Still a like given.
@@bissellcommercialcustomers4100 I came across your videos and I'm hoping you can help. My machine has been great then all of a sudden anytime I turn it on it instantly trips my breaker. I talked to customer service and every recommendation they gave me I had already tried. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@bigguy237 Thank you for reaching out about this! Believe it or not, you will have a wiring issue at one of two points based on your description: Either the pigtail (short cord) going into the handle has burnt (remove the screws and unplug from handle to check electrical connection point) or it will be located down in the control board/foot motor area. Access this area of the machine (I also have a video for that) and see where the wiring problem lies. Call us for further information if you need to do so t 800-242-1378 ext 2180.- Bissell Commercial Customer Service
good video, thank you sir! this helped prevent me from having to swap out the rental I had that was not sealing properly and had a short to ground at the foot motor
ChiefofTradez, Thank you for the feedback! The gentleman doing the work in that video is the man that taught us what we know! He is VERY knowledgeable and we hope we do him proud!
When i put the handle down i dont feel anything and my brush roller does nothing ?? is there a switch or something that would be bad?? just happened all of a sudden... I do have spray and suction... :/ I have a BG10
Ray, There is a microswitch for the brush but 95% of the time we find it is either the foot motor or the PCB. If you will follow this video and open up the compartment, look at both items. If you see rust or orange dust or burn spots on the PCB, then you know the problem is not the microswitch. Call us at 800-242-1378 ext 2180 if you would like to speak with us during the process-Amanda
That is not an available replacement part. Hence the reason he told you to take them off of the old motor so that you can put them on the new motor. I am sorry, but unless there is one lying around by some chance, it is not a part that is available.
when i plug in my big green machine and turn it on, it turns on for a split second and then shuts off (causes a short circuit to the receptacle). can you please let me know, if replacing the circuit board will fix it?
Nach0ooLibre, I feel pretty certain in my response of, no this will not help the scenario you have described. What you have described sounds more like a wiring issue. You will need to have the wiring validated for continuity from the pigtail cord located on the side of the handle assembly all the way down to the vacuum motor.
@@bissellcommercialcustomers4100 thank you very much! i appreciate your reply. i bought it from a garage sale. sadly, i believe i may have gotten water in areas i shouldn't have as i was cleaning it.
You wouldnt happen to have a spare Foot Motor bushing you could sell me? (3:48 in video). I accidently threw mine away with the old corroded foot motor. And there isnt a seperate part number for that. I cant find it anywhere! Please help!
Unfortunately, it is not an available part for replacement. Hence the reason I made certain my Technician tells you to keep it for the new motor.-Amanda S.
@@bissellcommercialcustomers4100 thank you for the response. I actually used my brain (haha) and took some measurements and designed one and 3D printed it! Works great. I think it's pretty crazy how Bissell has every other piece available and shown on the illustrated parts diagram, except that one piece ! Thank you again for your response 😁
@@deejaymikeskillz Wondering if you had the blueprints for your 3D printed model? Ours is quite shredded so not able to get accurate measurements, thank you in advance!
Mine is doing this too. I found that 120v DC is no longer going to the motor when the motor turns off so I suspect it's a board issue. I ordered a board but it's not here yet.
Arika, I need to clarify your statement if you will let me: I believe you are indicating that before anything else, when you have just turned the machine on is when you hear the rattle. Not after turning it on and then laying the handle back for use. If this is correct, there may be something inside of the main suction motor housing. If it is heard when you lean the handle back, that will be either the brush carriage rattling or the foot motor. Feel free to call us for further details at 800-242-1378 ext 2180-Amanda S.
Hi there, I have a US made BGM that I use a step down transformer (1500) to run in New Zealand. Recently, when the machine turns on it is fine. Once I engage the shampoo function it shorts the mains power switch in my wall power box. I have tried this in two properties with the same result. I have changed out the transformer with the same result. How can I diagnose the cause of this on my BGM? Can I buy a NZ motor to run the machine, even though the socket is a continental US socket?
@asiatravel2010-I believe that you are going to need to check your electrical connections points first. This normally happens in the US machines when there is a wiring connection that has gone bad (wiring harness to the PCB or the handle cord/pigtail cord). I have videos to get you into the control board/PCB area to enable you to check those electrical points. Call us at 800-242-1378, ext. 2180 if you require further direction!-Amanda
Hi, thank you for sharing this helpful video I have a unit that I need to fix I work in school and need to fix my bissell But the motor doesn't work, Can you help me pls
@unyotv1107 - If the brush is not turning when the handle is leaned back for use, you will need to go through the video, get into the foot/brush motor compartment, and inspect the motor and control board for rust or burn marks. If you see either of these two things, you will have to at least replace the effected part(s). If you need to, you can call us at 800-242-1378, ext. 2180, and we will email you over a parts list with schematic, or connect you with a Sales Rep if you need to purchase the parts.-Amanda S.
The foot motor, part #2037431, is available through many different authorized retailers. Search by the part number and you will have choices. Just remember to keep your gray bushing from your foot motor for the new one!-Amanda S.
D Chaparro, the bushing is not a standard replacement part available for purchase. However, if you will call us at 1-800-242-1378 and ask for Customer Service extension 2101 I will see what I can do about finding you one.

Perfect video. Thanks for this!
How do I tell if my Bissels problem is the Foot Motor or the Vacuum Motor? What does the Foot Motor do?
Do you have a video on replacing the vacuum motor in the big green
Not currently. We will get one filmed and upload as soon as we have it completed!
@@bissellcommercialcustomers4100 thank you
@Bissell can you advise if you have done a video on the vacuum motor replacement yet

How do I know if it's the circuit board or foot motor?
Bobby, you remove the circuit board first and look for any corrosion or burn spots. If none visible, start with the foot motor first.-ASE
Thank you so much...

My brush not turn off, what can i do?
Brush motor kicks on for about 5 sec then cuts out. Put handle back up and pull back down and it repeats above. Motor or circuit board🤔?
Mine is doing this too. I found that 120v DC is no longer going to the motor when the motor turns off so I suspect it's a board issue. I ordered a board but it's not here yet.
Thank you 🙏
Nurul, We are glad to have been of service!-Amanda
When I turn mine on I hear a noise like something rattling it only happens when I turn it on any ideas? My flow indicator leaks a little bit
