Bissell Zing 2156A Cord Retraction Mechanism Replacement

简介

The Bissell Zing 2156A uses a spring-driven mechanism that we call the "cord retraction mechanism" to ensure the cord goes back in the vacuum when you're done with it. This mechanism is notorious for getting worse over time or outright breaking. You can find out more in this troubleshooting guide.

The mechanism comprises the cord itself, a cowling that is attached to the case to shelter the cord, a carousel wheel, and a lever-arm mechanism on a frame. The carousel uses a type of spiral torsion spring to retract the cord when the lever arm is pressed. This spring can become worn from time or use. It can be replaced, or simply rewound, but this can't be done without removing the mechanism.

Make sure to unplug the device before starting! Live current is easily in reach with the case open—the power only stops at the power switch, and is live in the retraction mechanism.

步骤 8

Tension the part by holding the stationary mechanism and rotating the wheel counterclockwise.
When the retraction mechanism is tensioned, it should be wound up, not flat.
Fully retract the cord before reinserting it, so you keep every bit of tension available.

This step is only needed if fully removing the cord retraction mechanism. If the cord doesn't need to come out, this cowling can stay untouched.
Use a spudger to pop the clips out of the cowling's outside face. Pull it out.
Remove the holders on the inside of the cowling so the bracket can be pivoted out.
Separate the cowling and bracket and remove the cord.
Keep track of the small bracket; if it's lost the part won't go in right.
