Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Vacuum Questions & Answers
How do I change the belt?
To change the belt on a Hoover Flair Stick Vacuum, remove all 6 screws from the bottom of the beater bar. There are 2 screws hidden under wheels. You must pop the wheels off with a screw driver to remove the hidden screws. The cogged belt is on the left side of the beater bar. Be careful not to pull the wires.
Flair motor shorting out?
There's a thermal cut-off when the unit has overheated. Mine does this quite often and I remedy it by emptying the canister and making sure the filter is clean, especially of lint and things that prevent good air flow.
Vacuum was closed without the bag now I can't open the compartment
After trying many things, I was finally able to open the stuck cup by:
- Opening the latch as much as possible by hand
- Sticking a flathead screwdriver in the opening and pushing. See picture below.
There was just a small bit of plastic holding the thing shut so this was enough to deform it and open it without damaging anything (at least for me). I have no idea why they have designed the cup in this foolish way. Maybe it's an attempt to protect the motor etc, but it would be better to have a sensor or something and not let the motor run instead of getting the cup stuck. Also, I think the cup is supposed to not be closable without the filter in place, but for me it was surprisingly easy to close it in this incorrect fashion.
