Hoover U5468-900 WindTunnel Supreme suction is suddenly poor
Noticed that the bag was full during vaccuuming, which I thought was the problem, but have emptied and cleaned the bag and heppa filters, the brushes turn fine and have also been cleaned, the hose is free of obstructions, but the suction is still poor. I did notice, prior to emptying the bag, that the motor smelled hot, but it seems to run fine and sounds okay now. What else can it be? The vaccuum is only about a year old.
Hoover U5468-900 WindTunnel Supreme is approx 3 years old but hardly used. It is a spare one.It won't ****. I put in a new belt, bag and filter and checked that nothing is blocking it. Does anyone know what else I should check? The greenlight is always on. I can't find a parts or atrouble shooting manual for this machine. Any suggestitons. Feel free to email me if you know the answer.jeank!optonline.net

The other possibility is there is a blockage in the foot. these models have dual channel air flow (windtunnel) and become blocked when not cleaned depending on use. under the roller there is a cavity that can be removed for cleaning. a hot motor can be caused by poor air flow.

Be sure the upper attachment hose is inserted firmly into the lower hose into the nozzle. Check for suction at the end of the hose, and if there is no suction there must be an obstruction in the hose, or the filter inside the bag compartment is plugged. Be sure the brush is turning when the handle is released.

Either the hose has a clog, or the inlet down by the belt is clogged. Is there suction at the end of the hose, if not then it is clogged. If there is suction, then it has to be clogged down below by the brush roll, check that inlet. There also is a filter at the bottom where the dirt cup (and bag) is, check it also.
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.
