It could be the motor?

The turbine is bad, that is what drives the brush roll. You either replace it, sometimes you can take the turbine apart and clean it, alot of times they just get gummed up and won't work. Number 23 is the turbine.

Check the hose on the upholstery tool for a crack.

My Hoover F7458-900 was doing the same thing, brushes not turning and since it is about 7 years old and out of warrenty I decided I had nothing to lose so I took it apart after reading all the other posts on this problem. The brushes are actually turned by a turbine motor (no belts involved) that runs off air produced by the vaccum motor of the unit. The air turns a metal spindle that then turns several nylon gears in the turbin the last of which turns the brushes. The nylon gear that engages with the metal spindle was worn down to the point that it was no longer engaging with it and thus not turning. The only fix for this problem is to buy a new turbin motor which is not that expensive about $34 plus shipping since they don't sell just the nylon gear. Hope this helps

Couldn't find one thru Hoover, so it may not be available. On the metal tag where the model is, there is a number for Hoover, you might give them a call.

buy the whole tank not worth the time to repair the valve

none ! in most cases Hoover is the best. Whatever you do don't buy Bissel

If yours has separate tanks for the solution and water, it is a pressure regulator switch. It happened on my mine and I replaced it. 3 hoses attach to it and it was located in the handle area on mine. If you mix your own solution in one tank, look at the spray nozzles. They can get plugged.

Mine has done the same thing twice. I don't think you can store any unused solution in the container because it eats away at the rubber o-ring causing failure. You need to pull out the rubber housing by hand or gently with a pair of pliers.

Either the carbon brushes on the motor need replacing or the thermal cut out is activating. That might be because it is faulty or because there is not enough airflow over the motor. Overheating motor causing an automatic shutoff. This is most commonly caused by an air passage that is plugged by hair or dirt.

When your Hoover spin scrub is not sucking up water, the most common problem is the clear round cap located on the suction nozzle is not closed. See pic. Also check the rubber cap on the dirty water tank.

The only people that will know is Hoover. There are no clues in there. It could be 3 month of 2002, but anyone's guess. Phone them up.
