Hoover U6630-900 WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum - Page 9 Questions & Answers
Hoover self propelled U6630900 idler arm lock
Remove the bottom plate (4 screws), remove belts and brush roller. There may be 1 small screw in the center front of the vac under the brush roller. remove this one. If this is a bagless model you will also need to remove all of the back screws (torx) that hold the lower hose on. This needs to be removed to take the hood off. underneath on each side of the power drive assembly you will have 1 screw, remove them. there is a clip on each side that snaps the front on, push them out with a screwdriver. Then the hood is removed. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

I have a hoover windtunnel
Are you sure it is beltless? What model do you have? Looking at another manual there may be a seperate on off switch for the brushes but would need to know your model to be sure.
Filter in Hoover Wind Tunnel Vacuum
Definitely not. Do not use water or any liquids to clean it. Te normal use life is 2-3 years keeping it maintained. You can clean it dry with the dust brush from your vac attachments. place in a plastic bag and tap it some folks even us an air compressor to blow out the impacted dirt. you will only want to use the Hoover brand, other generic brands dont fit as well.

No suction
Check again for obstructions in the hose. Also underneath where the debri goes when it is being sucked up. Also make sure all your hoses are connected as this could effect the suction.
Loose wire
Sounds to me like you have a open wire. There is a break in the wire inside to the insulation and as you move it, it gains and loses connection. You can test it with a continuity tester as you move the wire or just replace it to see if that solves the problem.
2 belts on hoover u6634-900
I realized that the fatter flat belt needed to b attached to the wheel shaft, to make it so the button to make the unit useable as a machine could be depressed. When that flatter belt was then attached it raised the small wheel i was trying to figure out how it was used was then raised and made the thinner belt fit properly.
Cleaning my bagless vacuum
Hi Anne,
It does not say to get the filter wet but;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I have had mine for 2 years. When I do a thourgh cleaning of the filter. I actually fill the inside of the filter up with water then hose the outside and let air dry. Another great thing to do is always have 2 filters. Let the one dry out and pop in a new one.
Good luck...
I have only had 2 filters.. and they clean out great with water..

NO SUCTION
I fixed the very same problem about 15 minutes back. Mine is a 6660-900 but I believe all Hoover windtunnel uprights probably have the same basic design with minor differences. It has nothing to do with the belts.
When the vacuum is used with the hose, you are using it in the vertical locked position. When using on carpet, you step on a release tab/lever on the left corner of the deck. When you do this, a plastic gate opens diverting the vacuum (air flow) from the hose to the deck near the rolling brush area. When this gate gets stuck for some reason, it doesn't open even when you release the tab/lever. What I had to do was to open the cover over the brush roller (4 screws) near the front of the deck. Then when I wiped the bottom portion of the deck under where the hose is connected to the deck, I realised that the plastic there is clear plastic (it was covered with lot of dust before I wiped it). On the side where the hose connects to the deck, right under it is a tubular channel connecting to the brush roller area. Through the clear plastic of this channel, you will see a plastic disk blocking the channel opening. With the power disconnected, release the level for carpet cleaning (so that the deck can move relative to the handle). Now push with a finger on the plastic disk to make it go in and up. In my case some thread like material was caught between the disk edge and the channel/tube making it impossible to open with just the air pressure. After I removed the obstruction, the gate disk started moving freely when the vacuum was set for carpet cleaning. I put everything back together abd tested. Now it works beutifully.
If your model is different, you may find some minor differences but there has to be a vacuum diverter for the two positions. Just make sure it directs the vacuum where it is supposed to go.
Hepa filter does not rotate
I just fixed my HEPA filter not rotating!!
It involves taking apart the vacuum HEPA area. All screws are the same size. There are a LOT of 'em. Really straightforward putting it back together too.
ok, once you take the HEPA canister area off the vacuum, careful with the wires! Unplug them from the controller board. You open up the HEPA chamber by removing more screws until you see where the motor that turns the filter is mounted on the side. Remove motor from the green chamber. Note where the washer goes. Once the motor is off, you'll see that the center hub that drives the HEPA filter is rounded out. What I did was jam little bits of aluminum from a pop can into the space between the circle and the square to force the walls back to square. I started by folding a little piece of aluminum over and over so it was about three layers thick. Jammed that in. That wasn't quite enough thickness so I shoved another piece with it. If you can find something that is about 4 times the thickness of a pop can aluminum, that'd probably work too. Slight wedge shape on the tip would help. Any sort of tiny shim.
To test your work, just put a couple of holder screws into the HEPA cannister housing, plug in the cover/switch, plug in the HEPA moter. Turn it on for a few seconds to make sure the filter turns. Then you can add more thickness to the hub or put things back together.
No suction
have u checked all of the filters. I know that when not all the filters r clean the machine will turn on but then it will sound louder and still have no suction. Most times there is a filter under dirt container thats sits above motor and if this filter is not clean the motor cannot breath. Thus no suction
Vacuum stops
Your thermal cutout is tripping. This only happens when the motor heat gets very high, and the reason it takes a while to turn back on is that the motor has to cool down before it will reset. Ensure that absolutely every air pathway is clear, because a lack of airflow will overheat your motor. If they are, you have probably blown a motor bearing, which unfortunately is not economically feasible to repair since it requires a whole new motor.

Hoover Windtunnel
Mine does the same thing. There is no suction. I found that there is a door that opens when you tilt the handle in the down possition. I think there should be a spring in place so it can open. Until I find a replacement spring I have to open the door manually throught the opening under the light.
Does not pick up dirt anymore
There are two belts on this machine. The first is a flat rubber belt that is designed to slip or break if the roller is jammed. This bet requires replacement at least once a year. It is vitally important to get the proper belt, as there is no other that will fit and function. The second is a v-belt and the early model belts were too thin and would sit down in the pulley too far and the tension required to drive the roller would be less than sufficient. When the handle is in the upright position, the roller stops. When the handle is lowered, there is an idler arm and pulley that sits down on the v-belt and tightens it enough to rotate the roller. In some cases, the tire on the pulley will come off and will not put enough force on the belt to tighten it.
There is also an adjustment on the hood of the machine to turn the roller off for bare floor cleaning. This adjustment should only be made with the handle in the upright position.
The belt(s) can look just fine and still be worn out. Replacing the belts is always the first solution and the least expensive.
Vision vac
check filters, and bottom of machine to make sure its not clogged
Problem with embedded dirt finder
Take the hose off at the back of the vac, should just turn then pull oull, look down inside the tube that the hose was connected to, there is a sensor there and if it is coated over with dirt, then it can't work, Clean it off and the try it, if it still stays on, then you have a bad sensor, and if this is less then a year old, you have a one year warranty on this. Take it to a warranty shop and take proof of purchase with you.
