Troubleshooting: Bissell Featherweight Stick Vacuum (Model #2033)

My FeatherWeight™/Magic Vac®/Easy Vac® 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum Has No Power

Model #: 2033 FeatherWeight/Magic Vac

• Unplug the vacuum.
• Run your hand along the entire length of the power cord. It should feel smooth.
• Check the plug for damage.
• If the cord (not smooth or exposed wires) or plug (prongs) are damaged, Contact Us.

Check to see if the outlet is working:

• Test the outlet by plugging in a cell phone charger or small appliance.
• If there is no power to the outlet, plug the vacuum into a different outlet in a separate room.
• Reset the circuit breaker if needed.

My FeatherWeight™/Magic Vac®/Easy Vac® 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum Has No/Low Suction

Model #: 2033 FeatherWeight/Magic Vac

Check for suction at the motor duct:

• Remove the dirt container and filter.
• Plug the machine in and turn it on.
• Place your hand over the opening on the machine where the pre-motor foam filter sits.

If there is no suction here, Contact Us.

If there is suction, check the filters:

• Dirty filters can cause damage to the motor and eventually no power if not properly maintained.
• Clean debris from the pre-motor foam filter.
• Remove the filter from the dirt cup.

Filter Cleaning Instructions:

The image depicts unlocking filters and separating them to clean. Another image shows shaking over a waste container to remove debris, followed by an image of a filter being placed into a bin.

• Shake over a waste container to remove debris.
• After heavy use, both filters can be washed in warm water and mild dish soap.
• Allow filters to completely dry (24-48 hours) before re-installing.
• Filters should be replaced if torn or damaged.
• The filter must be inserted securely into the dirt cup before attaching to the machine to prevent blowing dust.
