This guide provides step-by-step instructions for replacing the foot brush bristles on the Bissell Zing 2156A Canister Vacuum. The foot brush is a key attachment that helps your vacuum clean various surfaces by providing direct contact with the floor. Over time, the bristles can become clogged, dirty, or damaged, affecting the vacuum’s cleaning performance.

This repair may be necessary if you notice decreased suction power, poor cleaning performance, or visible damage to the foot brush bristles. Replacing the bristles is a relatively simple task and doesn’t require disassembling the entire vacuum, making it one of the easier maintenance procedures compared to other components.

Before beginning this repair, it’s important to ensure the vacuum is powered off and disconnected from any electrical outlets. While the foot brush assembly contains no complex internal components, be cautious when handling the device to avoid injury or damaging the vacuum.

The foot brush bristles are responsible for making direct contact with floors, and as a result, they tend to wear down faster than other parts of the vacuum. Replacing the bristles will restore your vacuum’s cleaning ability and improve its overall performance.

Let’s get started by removing the foot brush attachment. No other parts of the vacuum will be needed for this repair.
