Remove the back panel covering the wires, remove the canister, remove the bottom from the upright component, and disassemble parts holding tubes and the casing holding the motor. There are 4 screws holding the rewinder in place. Remove those screws and the wire nuts holding the black and white wires coming from the rewinder. The nuts may be crimped and may require cutting the wires and using new wire nuts. The component should slide out after disconnecting the wires.
You should not try this on your own. Take it to an authorized Hoover warranty repair center near you. This is not an easy job and is usually not worth the expense if the machine is out of warranty anyway. If it's within the warranty period, warranty will cover it. My shop is a Hoover warranty center and we have replaced a lot of these.
Testimonial: "I understand the liability constraints limiting your answer. Thanks anyway, I'll get the answer elsewhere. I've assembled complex electronics, I think I can handle a vacuum cleaner. It's for a church, so I thought I would give it a go."
Tom, I am not questioning your ability to do the repair. The fact that you asked on this site "how..." is the reason for my answer. If you felt the need to ask how to do it is proof that you are not qualified. I have been repairing vacuum cleaners for over 26 years and I still don't enjoy taking these t series machines apart. You have to disassemble the entire machine pretty much, to get the rewinder out and even then you have to refit the new one. If the machine is under warranty it won't cost you anything. If you take it apart on your own you will void the warranty. I was just trying to help you and save you from voiding the warranty.
... also, if the machine is not still under warranty, the cost of the correct part to do the repair will exceed the value of the machine.
Dear Joe,
OOPS, I obviously don't know how to comment!!! Joe, thanks for your concern. I asked a local repairman and he said the same thing as you, his cost for the cord rewinder was $80. I can get the rewinder at Repair Clinic for ~$33, so that's a better deal and makes it worth my time (free - I'm retired). I found out on YouTube how to dissemble the machine. You're right, when you've got it apart, the're a lot of screws and parts layin' around. Eventually, it all screws back together. Thanks for your concern. Sorry I shot off my mouth without being more cognisant of your concern for me and my $'s. Merry Christmas!!!
No worries Tom, good luck and Merry Christmas to you too.
