If your Hoover SteamVac F5851 is simultaneously dispensing the cleaning solution and extracting it while you have the trigger depressed, there may be an issue with the unit's internal mechanism. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the trigger mechanism: Make sure the trigger is not stuck or jammed in the depressed position. Gently press and release the trigger a few times to ensure it moves freely.
2. Inspect the solution dispenser: Examine the solution dispenser to see if there are any clogs or blockages that might be causing the simultaneous dispensing and extraction. Clean the dispenser thoroughly, removing any debris or obstructions.
3. Verify the solution flow setting: Ensure that the solution flow setting on the SteamVac is correctly adjusted. There should be a control or dial that allows you to adjust the amount of solution being dispensed. Make sure it is set to the desired level and not malfunctioning.
4. Check the suction nozzles: Inspect the suction nozzles and brushes to ensure they are securely attached and not damaged. If any parts appear loose or worn out, you may need to replace them.
5. Clean the unit: Give your SteamVac a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. Remove the recovery tank, rinse it, and make sure it is properly reattached. Clean the brushes and nozzles to remove any built-up dirt or debris that could be affecting the unit's performance.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a more significant problem with the internal components of your SteamVac. In that case, you may need to contact Hoover customer support or take the unit to a professional repair service for further assistance.

Look inside the wire crimps with the white and yellow wires for wire strands alongside the other wires (broken off of the power cord). If you see some, that's the neutral connection.
If you don't see any stray strands in either connector, you'll have to trace the wiring. First, check how many connections there are on the power switch. If there are only two (one should be connected to the black wire going to the power cord), the answer is not there, and you'll have to identify the wire that goes directly to the motor and the lamp socket (including any wires connected together).
If there are four terminals on the power switch, with black wires going to one pair of terminals and white or yellow wires going to the other pair, identify which black wire goes to the power cord connection. The white wire next to it goes to the connection you want.
How did you manage to pull the power cord out of the connectors? There's supposed to be some kind of clamp, knot, or other restraining means where the power cord goes into the vacuum cleaner to prevent this potentially dangerous situation. If that is broken or missing, get it repaired before using the vacuum cleaner.
It is not recommended to continue using your Hoover Power Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner if it smells like burning rubber. This could be a sign of a serious problem, such as a motor issue or a malfunctioning part, and continuing to use it could result in further damage or even a safety hazard.
It's best to stop using the cleaner immediately and unplug it from the power source. You can then try to diagnose and fix the problem yourself, or take it to a professional for repair.
If you need to remove excess water from your carpet, you can try using towels or a wet/dry vacuum to soak up the moisture. However, keep in mind that using a damaged or malfunctioning cleaner may not effectively clean your carpets and could potentially cause more damage.
At the review page link, someone has had same problem with filter, etc coming off.
https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/hoover-heritage-5011 Excerpt: the filter falls out on one of the wheels every time I use it, and the head section either falls out while you're using it, or it's so tight you can't separate it to put it away."
Seems this discontinued model falls into category of something works till it doesn't,
there are good and bad reviews on the 5011
Maybe a Jerry rig with color or eye pleasing quality duct tape (a dog eared tab is a much used fix) or reusable cable tie, has knots/balls that slide into a notch, Mouser electronics, or a 10 to 14 gauge insulated wire or modern equivalent twist tie.
If liquid is leaking from your Hoover Wind Tunnel Mach 6.9 vacuum cleaner, it could be due to a few different issues. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
