Hi There, If you are talking about the Vax vacuums that are looking a bit like R2D2 (bucket on wheels) the most likely cause is a short in the power cord. It is easily fixed by shortening the cord by 30 cm. If you are not comfortable shortening an electrical lead any electrician or repair man will be able to do it for you. A second possible cause is a faulty switch. A distant third possible is the motor itself has failed. The motor really should only be replaced by a technician unless you are very comfortable playing with this type of repair.
Hi
In the UK we have similar machines but they are made by Vax. If you can't source the correct user manual from Hoover.com consider the following - it is a free download.

The Vax Mach 5 and Hoover model you have are the same other than the name. Dont forget to rate, thanks.
