I have a 3760 lift off bissell. Replaced the torn belt for the floor brush. Floor brush will not go around when turned on. Double checked and everything seems in place. What did I do wrong? Thank you

Hi Tim. I understand the brush is turning & belt is fine. You may want to remove and reseat the canister. If this doesn't work, you'll want to have one of our Authorized Service Centers inspect your vacuum.
Here's a link to assist you in locating one in your area: http://www.bissell.com/service-centers/?cid=ccsocial
Use only BISSELL Style 10 Replacement Belts (#32074) in your BISSELL PowerForce Bagless.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
With Rotating Floor Brush removed from vacuum cleaner, grasp old Drive Belt and remove from Motor Pulley. Discard old Drive Belt.
Place new Drive Belt over Motor Pulley and stretch other end over Rotating Floor Brush in the space between the bristles.
Place ends of Rotating Floor Brush down into slots on sides as shown.
Turn Rotating Floor Brush by hand several times in the direction of Motor Pulley. If properly installed, Drive Belt will center itself on Rotating Brush.
Reposition Brush Cover and snap back into place. Check to be sure all three latches are secured.
When you turn on the vacuum, do you see the motor that spins the belt spinning at the bottom? If not, it sounds like you may have a burned out motor.

You have already removed the screws so lift the brush cover off. Then grasp rotating floor brush at both ends and lift. Clean strings,hair and other debris from rotating brush, paying close attention to the brush ends. Clean the debris from motor pulley and drive belt areas.Grasp old drive belt and remove from motor pulley. Place new drive belt over motor pulley and stretch other end over rotating floor brush in the space between the bristles. Place the ends of the rotating floor brush down into slots on the sides. Turn the rotating floor brush by hand several times in the direction of motor pulley. If installed properly, drive belt will center itself on rotating brush. Reposition brush cover and screw back into place. I hope that this helps you!
this is how you do it Lower handle and place vacuum on floor so you can see bottom of power head. Examine the power head to remember what it should look like when finished. Unscrew the four screws (Phillips screwdriver). Lift off cover. Lift out brush. Remove belt from brush and motor shaft. Place new belt around motor shaft, then around brush just prior to reinserting brush. Make sure the belt is placed correctly. Reinsert brush in slots. Rotate manually toward motor a few time to center the belt. Replace cover and screws. Tighten securely. Check cover to make sure it's properly secured.
Clogs affect the air movement, but not the brush assembly. Remove the brush assembly from the vacuum base. Remove, clean, and lightly oil (with 3-1 or similar) the two end bearings. They are usually choked with debris to the point that they lock the brush roller. Reassemble it without the belt for a moment and check for free turning. If ok, install the belt and test the whole vacuum. Hope this helps!
Make sure vacuum is unplugged.

They make the worst machines, the rollers are cheap and they make it so you cant take them apart to clean them. You don't want a dyson either, they aren't any better for pets. With all that hardwood floors you should get a good canister vacuum, sebo and miele are the best.
I had the same problem. I found that the brush actually melted to the end cap (the one with the square/ovalish end). I was able to pull it off with some force and applied some WD-40, but that only worked for one more use. The brush has again melted to the end cap and it is too deformed to try and fix. I suppose I will have to search for a new brush, but this model obviously has some innate flaws.
