the beater bar got caught on a throw rug, now it won't turn (turned off immediately, no burned smell), now beater bar does not turn on?????

I'm wondering if you accidentally pressed the beater bar button, too when you turned the power off? They're right next to each other.

Yes it WILL do that whenever it gets a rug or something caught in it, so as not to have that belt thing come off. BUT if you turn it off and back on it will run fine. It is just another annoying thing I found with this vacuum. I will NOT ever buy another Dyson!

Very easy. Remove 5 phillips screws from bottom of sweeper, remove bottom plate, lift out beater bar, replace beater bar with new, install belt as in directions, reinstall bottom plate and tighten 5 screws and your done.

Mine recently started doing the same thing, after working great for a couple years. Opened it up & found the thermostat had disintegrated. Turn it upside down (not plugged in!!!) and listen for objects rolling around. If so, your thermostat has likely died too. There's no good fix, other than bypassing the thermostat - which is a home-fire hazard. Sorry, you'll probably have to trash it (unless it's still under warranty)

This is my second bread machine and in both machines the beater has come off in the bread. I don't know how to stop this from happening so I try and remember to look for it before I cut the bread.

It has a sensor that stops it when something gets stuck in the roller bar. So if its a high thick carpet then it has a hard time turning and shuts itself off. Mine usually stops if it gets an envelope or a zip lock bag stuck in it. Ha ha.We have one thick throw that it stops on also.

update on my previous answer. My son took it apart and put it back together. The problem was it wasn't an together right. it has a space in the front and that is why the trigger wasn't working properly. Now it works fine and does the job that Bissell has always been famous for. I couldn't be happier.

did you push the reset? little black button on the back corner of the beater brush

Yes. Just unscrew the five screws on bottom of the vaccuum , take off belt and pull out old beater bar and replace with new one. Thats it. Hope that answers your question.

yes, i did. just yesterday was the first time i had the light on for an extended period of time. the plastic got hot and was getting "broken in" and you could smell it. i turned on the fan and seems to have gone away now. sort of like when you get a new toaster or toaster oven. first couple of uses you can smell the parts...

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

My white beater did too. I went to the burnished. works fine. best to hand wash tho.

No haven't had mine quite that long. BUT if you haven't taken it apart and cleaned it i would. Sometimes the gas bulbs/whip cream can leave residue and buildup. Might be causing the handle to stick open. If you can't fix it just learn to love lots of whipped cream :P

We've had the same problem. Ours worked for a few months and stopped rolling. It's been a while since we've messed with it again but I recall finding a fuse on the appliance but we haven't had a chance to really figure out what's wrong with it. Now that you've reminded me of this, I'll try to figure it out and let you know what we find out; again, if we can find the time for it.

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

OK, we have three completely different and contradictory answers. I hope a few more people can chime in to give us a majority vote. Does it have a beater bar that is powered by a motor. We have so far 1) a beater bar that is powered, 2) a beater bar that is not powered, and 3) no beater bar at all. Getting good agitation is essential to cleaning carpet. Most people focus on just the air flow, but you need both.

it is independently powered, a small belt turns the beater, so I guess there's a small engine somewhere. I'm not a whiz on this...it could be the suction turning the belt...sorry...

Make sure you have it on the track correctly. If that doesn't do it I wish I could help you....mine actually stopped working all together and could not be returned. Haven't replaced it yet....not sure I'm going to either.
