Bissell 9500 E
« on: November 24, 2015, 10:12:57 pm »
Has anyone had any experience fixing these before?

I have one in for repair and I am absolutely baffled.  It came in as the owner suspected the mai motor was noisy and smelling of electrical burning.  I switched it on to test and it went 'bang' sparked out the side and popped the fuse in the plug.

I happened to have a scrap 9200 E which was faulty because it wasn't spraying water.  All the parts were the same, so I swapped the motor out, the 2 EMI filters and the PCB in the handle, which had definitely blown, because there was black soot inside the plastic handle near it.

Switched it on for a second time and it went bang again.   >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Really confused now !!

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Brett

Well for me I had a dodgy Dyson DC14 once (burnt out) and when I unplugged it I swear I got an electric shock from the plug even though it wasn't plugged in. I thought that this problem is guaranteed to be resolved if I swap ALL electrics. So a new motor, cable and switch (in a simple circuit of a Dyson) solved it beautifully.

So what other electrical parts are in the Bissell? It is probably the fault of that/those part(s)
Personally I am not really sure if it's worth repairing it because after all, it's a Bissell. But hey, nice project and was once the latest model!  ;)

Lol btw Bissell sell their vacuums at such low prices that when the vacuum breaks the consumer would just buy another one, for example the Bissell Easyvac was like £30 in Asda! A new filter costs like half price of the freaking vacuum lol

You don't mention replacing the cable, it's reasonably common for mains flexibles to go where they enter a machine. If the wires are touching, bang & the fuse blows.

It's actually a carpet cleaning machine.

Cable test out ok. I think it might be the brush bar motor but can't get it out the belt side is stuck on. Going to need a hack saw :-)

It doesn't really matter what machine it is, if it's fed with a flex & moveable in use. Testing the flex is simple, takes very little time & can save loads of aggravation.
If you've got the machine body open & you can get at the brush bar motor connections, disconnect the motor connections and try again.
