Replacing with the genuine Bissell Fan Housing – Part U8000-16 through the Authorized Bissell Dealer Ace Vacuums ensures the vacuum restores proper performance.

6. Q: Does replacing the fan housing improve vacuum noise or overheating issues?
   A: Yes. A properly aligned and sealed housing restores correct airflow, reduces stress on the fan and motor, and can reduce operational noise or heat buildup. By choosing the genuine Bissell Fan Housing via the Authorized Bissell Dealer Ace Vacuums, you get the design intended for silent, efficient performance.

14. Q: Does this part improve filtration or dust control?
