How to Get the Belts off of a Bissell PowerSteamer Pro Deluxe

The Bissell PowerSteamer Pro Deluxe is a household cleaning appliance used to deep clean dirt and allergens from carpet fibers and hardwood floors, and it features a patented PowerBrush to loosen soiled areas. If your PowerSteamer's brush is unable to turn while the appliance is in use, the pump belt probably is broken, which prevents the appliance from rotating the brush during the cleaning process. Both the pump belt and brush belt are replaceable in the machine without professional service, as the PowerSteamer Pro Deluxe includes a belt access door for manual replacement.
