Changing Belt | How to Videos | DeepClean/ProHeat® Essential

How do I replace the belt on my BISSELL DeepClean Essential™?
  • First, remove the tank and recline the handle so you can turn your machine over
  • Locate the red belt access door and remove the two screws
    • The door is secured tightly and it could take about 25 turns to completely remove the screws
  • Remove the belt access door 
    • The door will have the end cap attached to it
  • Remove the brush belt, the one with the cogs, from the end of the brush roll
  • Inspect it for damage and set it aside 
    • If you need a replacement, order a genuine BISSELL brush belt from BISSELL.com
  • Next remove the pump belt, the smooth one, from the end of the brush and check for damage 
    • If it is cracked or stretched, replace with a new belt from BISSELL.com
  • To put the pump belt back on the machine, pinch the belt at one end to make a large loop and attach it to the silver motor shaft first
  • Then pull the other side of the belt over the larger red pulley 
  • Spin the red pulley a few times to help center the belt and make sure it is on right
  • Now attach the brush belt by sliding the belt over the brush roll and then looping it around the end of the pulley
  • Connect the belt access door to the end of the brush and rotate until it’s in place
  • Replace the screws and your machine is ready for use
