I cant get my hoover
First be sure the switch/circuit breaker on top of the nozzle is on. The brush also will not turn unless the handle is released and tilted back. This model of Hoover has a gear drive to turn the brushes. This was VERY prone to problems, and Hoover discontinued making replacement parts for it several years ago.

To remove the old pedal, simply insert a screwdriver along it's outside edge, and pry upward to pop it out. The new pedal, (#38434026) can be pushed into place with your fingers. Install it with the handle in the upright position.

Most bagless uprights are exposed to dirt being drawn through their motors and filtered afterwards. As a result when you see sparks the motor has generally suffered its final breath... Today's uprights often run with high RPM disposable motors where older bag type uprights used lower speed rebuildable motors.
So the short answer is you likely need an entire motor as a minimum. If the unit is a higher end model mover $200 , in great condition and less than 5 years old, take it to a Hoover service center and either buy and install a motor or have them rebuild it. But also consider this...
What most people don't realize is they spend more on high priced consumable filters for many cheap bagless vacs than they ever would spend on bags and in the end the bagless is dirty to handle and has a shorter life span. Mass merchants sell the vacs cheap because their profit is in the filters

Windtunnel quits picking up
clean or replace the main filter. this filter is non washable. the best way to clean is to use a paint brush or compressed air. hope this helps
My 2month old hoover bagless stopped working completely!
I found out there was a large dusty clog in my vacuum. I had to clean it out then leave it un-plugged for quite a long time.
There is an automatic shut-off on the vacuum so it doesn't over heat and it won't turn back on it you don't leave it un-plugged and cleaned out.
