Introduction
The Bissell Zing 2156A's rear filter is part of the vacuum's set of filters, there to make sure the suction keeps coming.
For a vacuum cleaner to operate, air must flow from around the dirt, through the device, and back out of the vacuum into the air again. This filter is placed after the dust tank, which catches most of the debris, and just before the air leaves the vacuum. If dirt is spraying out of your vacuum, this part isn't doing its job!
Thankfully, removing this part is about as easy as it gets. If replacing this part doesn't help, refer to the troubleshooting guide for more options.
