HOW TO USE THIS REPAIR GUIDE

The instructions in this Repair Guide pertain to the Bissell PowerSteamer ProHeat (#1698) and the Bissell ProHeat ClearView(#1699). The information identifies those parts and components which are most likely to cause problems in the operation of the unit. Using easy-to- understand diagnostic procedures and step-by-step repair and/or replacement instructions, you will be able to identify and repair a wide variety of common repair problems.

UL RECOMMENDED HIGH VOLTAGE TEST

In keeping with UL standards, a high voltage test should be performed on a vacuum or deep cleaner any time the unit is in for repair, particular when the motor or other electrical components have been replaced. High voltage testing is done for the safety of the customer. By applying an over-voltage between "live" parts and various metal portions of the machine that are exposed to wear, you proof-test the entire machine against grounds or shorts that could cause inconvenience, fires or personal injury. High voltage testing is also a quality control measure. The possible future failure in the insulation of any portion of the unit, whether due to workmanship, components or materials, will be detected by this procedure prior to return of the unit back to the customer.

The normal test parameters are 1000 volts for one minute. There must be no indication of dielectric breakdown at the uppermost values. After the unit is completely assembled, the high voltage test required is the power cord to terminals in plug with the product switch on "on" position. This test can be accomplished with any commercial available test equipment offered for this purpose. The following testers are recommended:

Associated Research - Model 4025 or 4050 AJ

Slaughter - Model Series 2306 or 2307

Beckman Ind (Rosemont) - Model P-9A

Ground Continuity Test

This test is performed to determine that grounding continuity exists between the grounding blade of the lower supply cord plug and the motor. This test should be performed any time electrical connections are disturbed. Any suitable indicating device - ohmmeter, battery/buzzer combination or the like may be used to determine compliance. Contact points are the ground terminal in the plug to the shaft of the vacuum motor and the heater body.
