There is no belt on a Hoover SteamVac. The brushes are rotated by an air driven turbine. If the brushes aren't spinning, you most likely need to replace the turbine assembly.
There is no belt on the Hoover SpinScrub. The brushes are turned by an air driven turbine. To test the turbine, insert a flat screwdriver into the square hole that the pin on the brush assembly normally fits into, and see if the fitting turns. If it doesn't turn, the turbine has seized up and will need to be replaced.
You will have a slipping or broken belt turn brush by hand have machine off check if belt is broken if it is replace with new. undo brush holder and brushes should come out there may be more screws to undo after the brush holder but very simple job. good luck
There is a plastic piece on the back of the block brush (spin scrubbers)
these wear out or break. You may need to replace the block brush.
You can find the parts and a schematic below follow the link. Please
don't forget to give positive feedback. F7441 Link
The brushes are turning by an air driven turbine. The turbine has a
pivot bushing made of steel inside of it that gets rusty because of the
water that is running through it. The turbine gear will have to be
replaced.
You can access the turbine gear by removing the hood. You can find a
genuine hoover replacement part by following the link
below. Just find the model number of your Steamvac.
If the speed control switch on the hood is in the On position, it would appear the drive mechanism for the brushes is not spinning internally. The drive mechanism could easily be replaced by a technician.
if you turn the machine over you might see a red tab recessed behind the brush's, if you see one pull it out (it doesn't come all the way out) and clean any debris. Otherwise it might have a small screen in the housing which is not really easy to get to.
It sounds like your belt is broken. You may also want to check and make sure that there is no debris (hair and whatnot) twisted around the brush roller.
