Protecting The Vacuum's Motor; Troubleshooting - Bissell POWERGLIDE PLUS LIFT-OFF PET 2920C Mode D'emploi

Protecting the Vacuum's Motor

For more assistance with your vacuum's motor protection, visit support.BISSELL.ca.
There is an internal thermal protector in your vacuum that protects it from overheating. It controls
the main vacuum motor only, not the brush motor. When it activates, the main motor will stop.
The front lights and Brush Roll will stay on but there won't be any suction. If this happens, follow
these steps:
1. Turn vacuum OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Check for the source of overheating problem (full Dirt Tank, dirty filters or a clog) and fix by
following the steps in the "Vacuum won't pick up dirt" troubleshooting section.
3. When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue. If the vacuum will not turn ON or the thermal protector continues to
activate contact Consumer Care.
