Einleitung

This guide is to replace the pivot lock button located in handle of the Black and Decker Pivot Max. No special tools are necessary, only a phillips screw driver is needed for this replacement.

    • Press in and hold the release button.

    • Rotate the dust filter chamber counter-clockwise.

    • Remove the dust filter chamber.

    Don’t waste your time trying to fix, the battery pack was never made to be replaced. NO REPLACEMENT PARTS!!

    Too just troubleshoot the motor, after removing this section you can go straight to step 11. The pivot linkage referenced in a previous step is spring loaded and can simply be pressed down to rotate the gray ring and expose the screw heads in step 11. Disassembling the handle to remove it is not necessary. With the motor cover removed, the electrical connections are exposed. This is as far as I needed to go as I discovered the positive connector had become detached and simply needed to squeeze the connector for a tighter fit and placed back on the spade…reassembled and back in business.

    As far as the battery comment above…this is not the case either. I also accessed that to check it out. The battery pack’s cover comes right off and exposes the board and 5 standard cells. Didn’t disassemble further then that to see exactly what batteries they are as mine were in good health on the meter, but looked to be a fairly simple replacement if your comfortable soldering tabs on batteries.

    Replacing batteries in this battery pack is impractical. Even if you're adept at repairing such assemblies, it takes 5, LGEAHB71865 cells, which can't be found, at all. There are cells that can replace those. But, as the cells go for around $40 to $50 for a four pack, by the time you acquire the 5th cell, you may as well just by a new vac for around $75.00 on Amazon! Plus, if you do replace them, count on an hour, or 2, of your time disassembling & reassembling them. While I find this to be a really powerful & serviceable vacuum in all other respects, the simple fact that you can't replace the battery pack for a reasonable price, makes it a rip off! Still, Black and Decker did make up for this oversight a couple of years ago, when I called them to ask about new batteries for my vac. The woman politely explained that they don't sell the batteries, but then sent me a free replacement vac for my trouble. So, they're a good company, but I wouldn't count on getting that same deal when your batteries fail!

    • Remove the two 10 mm screws from the motor casing with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Pull the battery cover up and then slide it away from the motor to remove.

    Slide TOWARD the motor while lifting up the end of the cover that you just unscrewed. A gentile wiggle helps if it feels stuck

    Andrew Stanton -

    Uh, the above comment is incorrect, the first one is right. You HAVE to slide it AWAY from the motor, there are two tiny plastic teeth on the cover next to where the charger contacts are, those teeth are what make the cover feel stuck, you must GENTLY slide while lifting the unscrewed end so these teeth pull out, otherwise if you force it they’ll break and you’ll need duct tape to hold your BDH2000 together.

    Alan Molox -

    I had to lift and pull toward the motor like Andrew wrote….

    Ralph Rivera -

    You need to lift and slide away from the motor. As Alan stated, there are two plastic teeth on the cover near the charger contacts. You need to apply a fair amount of force to slide the teeth out.

    Robert -

    There doesn't seem to be a way to 'gently' slide it away from the motor.

    • Remove the battery unit by pulling it out of the main body.

  5. dllKvlCLHsgNaWL2

    • Disconnect the quick connect wire harness that connects the motor and battery located in the battery storage compartment.

    My vacuum has no disconnect. I am dead in the water, please help.

    Instruction were wonderful. Where can I get new batteries?

    bob_fulwider -

    +1, any link to where to buy the batteries?

    my vacuum is about 3 yo and now it stops working in a minute from full charge

    I disassembled it and checked the battery module, it is soldered and combine in a hard way to replace battery units one by one

    B&D doesn’t suggest any parts to replace entire battery module

    any advice other than to buy a new cleaner?

    Sergey Troshin -

    Same here: it would be really hard to replace individual batteries (I bet it was done on purpose). Any advice?

    fagnelli1 -

    Batteries are unavailable anywhere……,useless

    Matt Berthelot -

    Mine has no disconnect either. Wires are soldered to a circuit board.

    Ralph Rivera -

    Agree mine is wired directly. Spent a lot of money on this. Sad design

    Diann Gilbert -

    Very disappointed that this model has no replacement battery packs. Spent time trying to fix only to find part never made for it.

    Lasts just over 2 year warranty - disposable product!

    buchner.tarie -

    After much research on troubleshooting how to fix the problem of the vacuum shutting off shortly after sitting on the charging station for hours, disassembling the vacuum exactly as shown in this ifixit site, most previous comments are spot on. There is no way to replace the Lithium battery because it can’t be disconnected since wires are soldered onto the circuit board. A huge negative to ever buying a Black & Decker Pivot or similar ever again. They had a good thing going while it lasted. Too bad their design is flawed, probably intentionally.

    Susan Adams Brown -

    there are no replacement batteries anywhere!!!!!

    Bruce Bethune -

    Your link to replacement batteries returns no results. The battery is it designed to be replaced. JUNK!

    • Remove the handle cover by removing the three PH1 20mm screws

    On my vacuum I also had three screws on the other side of the handle.

How does the fan blade come off

Darcy Lee -

Darcy, there are a lot more steps for that. You have to pry off the grey ring around the motor housing, then unscrew the housing. Once you are able to remove the motor assembly from the rest of the vacuum, you flip it over and the fan blade is a flat disk mounted on the opposite side of the motor drive. Carefully pry it out. (A step by step with pics would help make a lot more sense of this.)

Brad Kik -

The thermal fuse cannot get it from B&D.

I have a bad one the vacuum starts and stops. Where can I buy the fuse?

George Chryssanthou -

@fixit_18 you cannot replace the fuse. This device is not intended to be repaired. This tutorial is useless as parts are not available. Anyone who has one of theses knows it and will likely have to fabricate their own replacement parts…… I need a battery and will be building one from scratch….
