Is your Bissell Cleanview 1330 vacuum not sucking like it used to? Has it started leaving dirt and debris all over your floors? Don’t worry, with a few simple checks and replacements you can probably get your vacuum back to working order in no time.

Check and Replace the Vacuum Belt

One of the most common reasons a vacuum will lose suction is a worn out belt. The belt connects the motor to the brush roll and can become stretched out over time. To check it, remove the bottom plate of the vacuum. You should see the green belt stretched from the motor spindle to the brush roll. Examine it for cracking, excessive wear, or other damage. If it looks worn, you can easily install a new Bissell Style 9 belt as a replacement.

Replacing the belt is a quick process. First, turn the vacuum upside down to access the baseplate. Remove the screws and take off the plate. Slip the old belt off the motor spindle and brush roll. Loop the new belt around the brush roll and then stretch it over the motor spindle. Reattach the baseplate and screws and test it out! With a fresh belt, your Cleanview should suck like new.

Clean or Replace the Brush Roll

Another common culprit for poor performance is a dirty brush roll. Hair, string, carpet fibers, and more can get wrapped around the brush roll, preventing it from spinning properly. Turn the vacuum over and detach the baseplate. Carefully remove any debris winding around the brush roll. You can also take the brush roll completely out to clean it more thoroughly.

Check the bearings at each end of the brush roll. If they are cracked or worn out, the brush roll may not spin smoothly. Replacement Bissell Cleanview brush rolls are available if needed. Pop the old one out and insert a new brush roll into the slots on the vacuum base. Reattach the baseplate when finished.

Inspect the Hose for Blockages

Sometimes clogs happen in the flexible hose that connects the vacuum head to the dirt cup. Disconnect the hose from both ends and shine a flashlight through it. Make sure there are no obstructions in the hose causing reduced airflow. Use a long, narrow object like a broom handle or dowel to push out any debris or dirt stuck in the hose. Reconnect the hose tightly once it is fully cleared out.

Check the Filters and Replace if Needed

For optimal suction, it’s important that the filters are clean and correctly installed. The Bissell Cleanview 1330 uses one foam washable filter and one felt filter that needs periodic replacement. Remove both filters and rinse the foam one with water. Allow it to air dry completely before returning it to the vacuum. Examine the felt filter and replace it if there are any tears, holes, or heavy staining.

Double check that the filters are firmly seated in their slots when reinserting them. Proper filter placement is key to maintaining good airflow through the vacuum. Over time, the filters can become compressed and less effective at trapping dust and debris, so replacing them as needed is recommended.

Examine the Vacuum Head for Obstructions

It’s also possible for dirt and debris to get lodged in the vacuum head around the brush roll. Carefully flip the vacuum upside down to view the baseplate area. Use a flashlight to look for any obstructions blocking the space around the brush roll. Remove any built up hair, strings, or other debris. Ensure the brush roll spins freely without constraint. This open space is crucial for drawing in dirt from your carpets and floors.

Make Sure the Bag is Not Full

If the dirt collection bag is full or packed too tightly, airflow will be restricted. Take a look at the bag compartment and check the fill level. Bissell recommends changing the bag once it reaches the “Full” line marked inside the compartment. Gently tug on the bag to remove it from the holder. Inspect the bag and empty if needed. Insert a new Bissell Cleanview dust bag if the current one is overly full and limiting suction power.

Check the Vacuum Wheels and Brushes

Don’t forget to look over the vacuum’s wheels and corner brushes as well. Thread, hair, and carpet fibers can get wound around the axles preventing the wheels from moving smoothly. Use scissors to carefully cut away any debris restricting wheel motion. The small brushes on the edge can also get gummed up with hair and fibers that need to be removed. Clean the brushes so they can move freely.

Inspect Power Cord and Electrical Connections

It’s possible for electrical issues to develop that affect vacuuming performance. Examine the power cord and plug for any cracks or damage. Make sure the cord retracts smoothly and doesn’t pull out of the body. Inspect where the cord connects into the vacuum for looseness or gaps. All connections should be intact without exposed wiring.

Also check for obstructions in the inlet where the power cord enters the vacuum body. Built-up dust or debris here can potentially cause problems. Make sure the vacuum is unplugged before looking closely at the power inlet and connections.

Clean the Dirt Container

Even if the bag isn’t full, take a look at the dirt container holding the bag. A build-up of dust, dirt, and grime on the interior walls of the container can impede suction. Remove the filter and bag and use a dry cloth to wipe out any debris clinging inside. Make sure the dirt compartment is completely dry before replacing the filter and bag.

Try Resetting the Vacuum

If you’ve checked everything thoroughly and the vacuum still lacks suction, try performing a reset. Unplug the Bissell Cleanview 1330 and leave it unplugged for 60 minutes. This gives the motor and internal components time to rest. After an hour, plug it back in and try it out. Sometimes a simple reset is all that’s needed to get suction working properly again.

With a few basic inspections and part replacements, you can often get your Bissell Cleanview 1330 vacuum cleaner picking up dirt like new again. Start by checking the easy things like belts, filters, and hose blockages first. Then move on to examine the vacuum head, wheels, and electrical connections if needed. Refer to your user manual as well for any model-specific troubleshooting tips. With a little diligence, your vacuum should be sucking with full force again.

Clean or Replace the Brush Roll

Is your Bissell Cleanview 1330 vacuum not sucking up dirt and debris like it used to? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. The brush roll is one of the most important components of this vacuum and it can wear out over time. Replacing or cleaning the brush roll can often get your Cleanview 1330 cleaning like new again.

The brush roll uses stiff bristles and a rotating motion to agitate and lift dirt from carpets and floors. But pet hair, string, carpet fibers and other debris can get wound up in the bristles or bearings causing the brush roll to slow down or stop spinning altogether.

Here are 10 common fixes to get your Bissell Cleanview 1330 brush roll working properly again:

1. Remove debris from the brush roll

First, use scissors to carefully cut away any visible fibers, hair or string wrapped around the bristles. Don’t pull on it, as this could damage the bristles.

Next, take the brush roll out of the vacuum to clean it more thoroughly. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to access and remove it.

Use scissors again to snip away stubborn debris. You can also use a sharp knife to gently pry or scrape off any debris stuck between bristles. Just be careful not to cut the bristles.

2. Clean debris from the bearings

Debris can also get lodged in the small bearings at each end of the brush roll. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to wipe away any dirt, hair or other debris from the bearings.

3. Wash the brush roll

For a deeper clean, the entire brush roll can be rinsed under warm running water. Avoid using hot water, as this could loosen the glue that holds the bristles in place.

Gently scrub the bristles with a soft brush or an old toothbrush to dislodge any stuck-on debris. Rinse away all soap residue.

Allow the brush roll to air dry completely before replacing it in the vacuum.

4. Vacuum the housing

While you have the brush roll out, inspect the opening where the brush roll sits inside the vacuum. Use a cotton swab to wipe away any dust, dirt or debris. Small particles can fall down into this housing and prevent the brush roll from spinning properly.

5. Check the belt

The brush roll belt can become loose or worn out over time. Follow your owner’s manual to access the belt and check its condition. A stretched or damaged belt that is slipping can prevent the brush roll from spinning properly.

Bissell Cleanview 1330 replacement belts are available on Bissell’s website or Amazon.

6. Check for blockages

Inspect all the hoses and passageways around and behind the brush roll area. Built up pet hair, dirt and debris can block the vacuum suction from reaching the brush roll compartment.

Use a long skinny object like a chopstick or unfolded wire coat hanger to gently poke away and dislodge any blockages.

7. Check the motor

If the brush roll is getting power but won’t spin, the motor could be damaged. This may require help from a professional repair shop. Moters can burn out over time.

However, first try to restart the Cleanview 1330 after leaving it unplugged for 30 minutes. This small reset sometimes fixes brush roll motor problems.

8. Replace the brush roll

After all troubleshooting steps have been tried, a worn out brush roll may simply need to be replaced. Over time, bristles get bent and lose their cleaning power.

Replacement Bissell Cleanview 1330 brush rolls can be purchased directly from Bissell or from third party sellers on Amazon and other sites.

Be sure to select the exact match for your specific model. Carefully note whether you need the multi-surface or carpet brush roll.

9. Try a soft bristle brush roll

If you have mostly hard floors, switch to a soft bristle brush roll. Soft bristles are less likely to scatter debris across hard floors.

A soft bristle brush roll may also help if your original brushes are damaged or worn down. Just be sure to still switch back to the multi-surface roll when vacuuming carpets.

10. Contact Bissell support

If you are still experiencing brush roll problems after trying all troubleshooting, it’s time to contact Bissell support. Explain the issue in detail and have your model number ready.

Bissell’s helpful support team can offer additional tips for repairing your Cleanview 1330 vacuum. They can also help you order any replacement parts that may be needed.

With a little maintenance and care, your Bissell Cleanview 1330 can keep cleaning like new. Start by inspecting and cleaning the critical brush roll component. Replacing a worn out brush roll or belt is an easy DIY fix. But for additional help getting your vacuum up and running, Bissell’s support team is there when you need them.

Inspect the Hose for Blockages

Having some trouble getting your Bissell Cleanview 1330 to suck up debris? A clogged hose could be the culprit. Taking the time to inspect and clear any blockages can get your vacuum cleaning at full power again.

The flexible hose is the main pathway that directs dirt and dust into the vacuum. But over time, build up can occur inside the hose that restricts airflow. Pet hair, dirt, small toys – all kinds of debris can get lodged and cause clogs.

Don’t just keep trying to vacuum over that pesky pile of dust bunnies. Follow these tips to inspect your Bissell hose and clear any sneaky blockages:

1. Disconnect the hose

The first step is to release the hose from the main vacuum body. The hose connects to the back of the Cleanview 1330 near the top. Gently pull it free from the vacuum.

You may need to press down on a release latch or button to disconnect the hose. Check your owner’s manual if you’re unsure of how to detach it.

2. Check hose connection points

Inspect where the hose connects to the vacuum and to the cleaning tools. Dust and debris often gets trapped in these joints and crevices.

Use a cotton swab or small thin tool to clear any visible dirt or clogs from the hose ends. Be careful not to push any debris further into the hose.

3. Shine a light in the hose

With the hose detached from the vacuum, shine a bright flashlight down one end. Slowly turn and manipulate the hose while angling the light to illuminate the entire interior surface.

Look for any obstructions, dark clumps of dirt, or particles stuck to the sides. Make note of where any clogs appear to be located.

4. Use a hose cleaning attachment

Use a special hose cleaning attachment or brush to clear debris. Insert the tool into the hose and move it back and forth. This will help dislodge any dirt or hose clogs.

You can also try attaching a pantyhose leg over the end and running it through the hose to pull out any debris.

5. Try compressed air

For serious blockages, use compressed air to force out the clog. Insert the air nozzle about an inch into the hose end and blast short bursts while turning the hose.

Wear eye protection as particles may blow out the other end. Cover it with a rag to help contain any debris.

6. Use a wire or zip tie

If you can see the exact location of the stuck debris, use a pipe cleaner, wire, or zip tie to hook and dislodge it. Insert it slowly and gently move it back and forth to pull out any dirt or hair.

Be very careful not to push any clogs in deeper or scratch the interior hose surface.

7. Try hot water

For truly stubborn dirt or pet hair, place the hose in a bucket or sink filled with hot water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes to loosen the clog. Then run warm water through the hose and vigorously shake it to dislodge any debris.

Position a rag over the end when shaking to prevent splashing water all over.

8. Check for damage

Inspect the hose for any cracks, holes, or damage. Damaged areas can allow clogs and decrease suction. Any tears or cracks larger than a small pinhole mean it’s time to replace the hose.

Look to see if anything is lodged in smaller holes. Use tweezers or a needle to carefully extract it.

9. Rinse and dry completely

Once fully cleared of clogs, run clean water through the hose to rinse out any remaining particles. Shake it again and let it air dry completely before reattaching to the vacuum.

Place the hose in front of a fan or point a hair dryer on a cool setting down the hose to speed up drying time.

10. Reconnect hose

When the hose is fully dry, firmly push it back into the vacuum opening until it clicks into place.

Test suction power and airflow by turning on the Cleanview 1330 and sucking up a towel or tissue. If airflow still seems weak, the clog may require more cleaning.

With a little DIY elbow grease, you can get your Bissell hose free of debris, grime, and pet hair clogs. Follow these steps to inspect and clear any stuck-on dirt that’s impeding suction. Then enjoy your Cleanview 1330’s powerful cleaning performance once again.

Check the Filters and Replace if Needed

Are you noticing your Bissell Cleanview 1330 isn’t sucking as strongly as it used to? Clogged or dirty filters could be the issue. Taking a few minutes to check and replace the filters can get your vacuum cleaning with powerful suction once again.

Like any vacuum cleaner, the Bissell Cleanview uses filters to trap dirt, dust and allergens. But over time, those filters can get clogged with debris, reducing airflow. Replacing clogged filters or washing reusable ones restores suction power.

Follow this simple guide to inspecting and changing your Cleanview 1330 filters:

1. Locate the filter(s)

First, consult your user manual to find out how to access the filter(s) in your model. Some are under the dust cup, while others are behind an exterior panel.

The Cleanview 1330 uses both a foam and a felt filter. You may need to remove the dust cup first to reach them.

2. Check for damage

Carefully inspect each filter for any tears, cracks, or damage. Even small holes allow dust and debris to bypass the filter, reducing suction strength. Damaged filters should be replaced.

3. Look for clogs

Examine the filters closely for any darkening or visible dirt buildup. Hold them up to a bright light to see if light passes through. Significantly clogged filters block airflow, so replacements may be needed.

4. Check the filter position

Make sure the filter(s) are securely seated in place. Improper installation can allow air to flow around instead of through the filter. Follow directions to insert them correctly.

5. Wash foam filters

Check your manual to see if your foam filter(s) are washable. If so, use mild soap and warm water to gently clean debris. Rinse and air dry completely before reinstalling.

6. Replace felt filters

Felt and paper filters trap tiny particles, so they can’t be washed clean. Used felt filters need to be replaced with new ones.

Bissell Cleanview 1330 replacement filters are available on the Bissell website or Amazon.

7. Ask about HEPA filters

For allergy sufferers, ask Bissell support about ordering special High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters for your model. These capture over 99% of dust to improve air quality.

8. Reinstall the filters

Once washed or replaced, put the filters back into position. Refer to your manual for correct installation instructions.

Make sure all openings are properly aligned and the filters sit flat in place before reassembling the vacuum.

9. Check suction power

Turn the vacuum on and test suction power with your hand over the opening. If airflow still seems weak, recheck the filters for any gaps or misalignment.

New filters should immediately improve suction. If not, contact Bissell support for troubleshooting tips.

10. Schedule regular checks

To maintain your Cleanview 1330, mark your calendar to check filters every 3-6 months. Frequent filter inspection and timely replacement keeps airflow strong for better cleaning.

It’s simple to give your Bissell vacuum a quick filter checkup and refresh when needed. Properly installed and maintained filters are key to optimal suction power. Get into the habit of regular filter checks and changes to keep your Cleanview 1330 cleaning like new.

Examine the Vacuum Head for Obstructions

Is your Bissell Cleanview 1330 failing to pick up debris? The vacuum head may have some obstructions. Take a few minutes to thoroughly examine the head and clear out any clogs.

The rotating brush roll inside the vacuum head does the hard work of lifting and directing dirt into the suction path. But hair, string, and other debris can get wound around the brush and prevent it from spinning. Small obstructions in this area can hinder cleaning performance.

Follow these tips to inspect your Cleanview’s vacuum head and clear any obstructions:

1. Detach the head

First, remove the vacuum head from the body to access the brush area. There are release buttons or clips that allow the head to detach.

Refer to the owner’s manual if you need guidance on properly removing the head from your particular model.

2. Check brush roll spins freely

Make sure the brush roll spins smoothly. Turn it gently with your fingers. Stiff rotation can indicate wrapped debris or an obstruction.

Look closely for any fibers, hair or strings wound around the brush roll.

3. Clean out debris

Use scissors to carefully snip away and remove any visible debris wrapped around or stuck in the brush roll.

Avoid pulling on the material, as this could damage the bristles. Take your time to gently cut away obstructions.

4. Inspect the cavity

Make Sure the Bag is Not Full

Has your Bissell Cleanview 1330 lost suction power? A full bag may be blocking airflow. Taking a quick peek and changing the bag when needed can restore strong suction to your vacuum.

Like all vacuums, the Cleanview 1330 uses a bag, cup or canister to collect all the dirt, dust and debris it picks up. But when this container gets too full, the accumulated dirt clogs up the airflow path.

Follow these tips for checking your vacuum’s bag or cup and replacing it when full:

1. Locate the bag or cup

The Cleanview 1330 uses a dirt cup rather than a bag. First locate the removable dirt cup, which is typically at the front bottom of the vacuum.

Check your manual if you’re not sure how to access the specific dust cup or bag compartment on your model.

2. Detach the cup or bag

Carefully remove the cup or bag housing from the vacuum. The Cleanview 1330 dirt cup clicks out and off after pressing a release latch.

Be ready to catch any dirt that may spill out when removing a full bag.

3. Check fill level

Look through the clear dirt cup window or feel the bag to estimate how full it is. Bags filled over halfway need to be changed.

For cups, check that debris has not packed down and reached the max fill line.

4. Replace often

Don’t wait for the bag or cup to completely pack full before changing. The fuller the dirt container, the less airflow can circulate.

For optimal suction, replace bags when halfway full. Empty dirt cups before debris reaches the max line.

5. Use authentic bags

When replacing bags, be sure to buy authentic Bissell Cleanview 1330 bags. Third party or lookalike bags may not fit right or allow full suction flow.

Only use replacement dirt cups designed for your specific model number.

6. Insert new bags properly

Carefully follow directions to install new bags. Make sure the bag opening or compartment door is securely sealed and aligned properly.

Improper bag installation can result in suction loss and dirt leaks.

7. Reinstall dirt cup

When putting an empty dirt cup back, firmly press and click it back into place in the vacuum. Make sure it is fully seated to prevent airflow leaks.

Refer to the owner’s manual for proper dirt cup alignment and locking.

8. Check suction power

Turn the vacuum on and test suction strength by vacuuming a tissue. Strong, steady airflow should return with an empty bag or cup.

If not, double check that the compartment is properly sealed and reattached.

9. Schedule bag checks

Get in the habit of inspecting the bag or cup before every use. Never attempt to vacuum with a full bag.

Regular bag and filter checks keep suction strength optimal.

10. Consider bagless models

If changing bags is a hassle, look into bagless Cleanview models. These use cups and filters to separate and collect debris for easy, mess-free emptying.

Keeping bags and dirt cups empty allows your Bissell Cleanview 1330 to breathe easy and maintain powerful suction for carpets and floors.

Check the Vacuum Wheels and Brushes

Is your Bissell Cleanview 1330 suddenly harder to push across floors? The wheels and brushes may need a cleaning. Inspecting and clearing debris improves maneuverability and cleaning performance.

Like all vacuums, the Cleanview relies on wheels and brushes on the underside to smoothly glide across floors. But hair and carpet fibers can get tangled in these components, causing drag and resistance.

Follow these tips to check and clean the wheels and brushes:

1. Flip vacuum over

Turn the vacuum upside down or on its side to access the underside area. Make sure the power is off beforehand.

Use caution not to press down on any protruding parts that could snap or get damaged.

2. Check all wheels

Spin each wheel manually to ensure it moves freely. Stiff or sticky wheels need cleaning.

Wheels should spin smoothly and without wobble or excessive side-to-side play.

3. Remove debris

Use scissors or a seam ripper to carefully cut away any fibers, threads, pet hair, or debris wrapped around or stuck in wheels.

For wheels with cleats, use a small brush or toothpick to clean out packed dirt and dust.

4. Clean wheel wells

Check the wheel wells for packed in debris. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently wipe away dust and dirt buildup.

Don’t just clean the surface of the wheels. Debris in the wells can also block free spinning.

5. Inspect all brushes

The Cleanview 1330 uses brushes along the front edge and underside to help guide it. Check each one for bent, stuck, or entangled fibers.

Carefully trim away anything wound around the bristles with scissors.

6. Remove embedded debris

Use a stiff brush or old comb to clean out any debris lodged deep in the bristles along the brush sides and bottom.

For stubborn dust and dirt, rinse the brushes under warm (not hot) water.

7. Check if replacement needed

If bristles are worn down, missing sections, or very bent, the brush may need replacement. Purchase authentic Bissell Cleanview replacement brushes.

8. Reattach all parts

Once cleaned, let brushes dry completely and securely snap them back into place on the vacuum underside.

All components must be firmly reattached for optimal cleaning performance.

9. Test rolling ability

Lift the vacuum up and manually roll it across a smooth, level surface. It should glide with minimal resistance or dragging.

If any wheels or brushes still appear stuck, re-clean and check for any remaining debris.

10. Schedule regular inspections

To prevent future buildup, inspect the wheels and brushes periodically. Detach pieces if needed to thoroughly clean all areas.

Proper maintenance keeps the Cleanview 1330 rolling smoothly across floors for easy maneuverability and cleaning.

Clean the Dirt Container

Is your Bissell Cleanview 1330 failing to pick up debris? A dirty dirt cup could be the culprit. Taking time to deep clean the dirt container helps restore strong suction power.

The removable dirt cup on the Cleanview 1330 collects all the dust, dirt, pet hair and other debris sucked up by the vacuum. But over time, residue sticks to the cup walls and base, preventing full suction strength.

Follow these tips for thoroughly cleaning your Bissell’s dirt cup:

1. Remove cup

First, release the dirt cup from the vacuum body. There is typically a button or latch that allows the cup to detach. Refer to your model’s manual if needed.

Have a garbage bag ready to catch any loose dirt that may spill out when removing.

2. Empty debris

Carefully dump out any accumulated debris, pet hair, and dust clumps into the garbage. For cups with filters, remove these first before emptying.

Use a dry cloth to wipe out any remaining crumbs or dirt particles.

3. Hand wash with soap

Fill a sink or bucket with warm water and mild detergent. Allow the dirt cup to soak for 15 minutes to loosen stuck-on debris.

Swish it around, then use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub interior and exterior surfaces.

4. Rinse thoroughly

Drain the dirty soap water and rinse the dirt cup under warm running water. Give it a final wipe down to remove any soap residue.

Remove cup filters and rinse separately before reinserting in the cup.

5. Air dry completely

Allow the cup and filters to dry fully before reattaching to the vacuum. Any moisture left inside can lead to dirt clumps.

Let all parts sit for several hours or speed dry with a hair dryer on cool setting.

6. Check filter screens

Inspect plastic filter screens in the cup for any cracks or damage. Cracked screens allow dirt to re-enter the air path, reducing suction.

Purchase Bissell Cleanview filter cup replacements if needed.

7. Wash less frequently

To limit scrubbing, try to empty the dirt cup when only partly full. Don’t allow debris to sit packed for long periods.

More frequent quick rinses keep the cup cleaner between full soap washes.
