Hoover U6437-900 / U6439-900 Windtunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum

Dirt finder sensor stopped working (by 3 users)

posted by dirty sensor on Jan 29, 2008


I have a hoover modeU6439900 that has a dirt finder green and red light. I am sure that this is controlled by some type of sensor. My question is where is this sensor located? I beleive that it needs to be cleaned off or replaces as the red light stays on all the time now. It was working well up untill a month ago. Can you help me with the location and or replacement?

The sensor is located inside where the hose hooks on the back of the vacuum. Unhook the hose, looking down the duct, the will see a disk near where it curves to go into the vac. Clean that out, if it still stays on, It is called the EDF duct/mic asm. part # 47823004. The cable for it routes thru to the circ. board that is by the light. The circ. board number is 46851031. Also make sure that you don't have a clog in the hose or the inlet by the brush motor.
