Good seal between the cups ensures that the vacuum cleaner has full suction. Check that there is no dirt or damage on the lip of the filter cup causing it to be jam up and be hard to assemble.,
First thing to check is cord to make sure no bad spots anywhere. If the bag emptor is not installed properly there is a switch that will not allow vacuum to run. There is another switch that is depressed when the power nozzle, hose or carpet cleaner is installed on the front of your Kirby. If the switch is not being depressed properly it can keep the vacuum from running.
I had same problem. Turned out to be the filter that sits above the waste cannister. Remove the waste cannister. There is a little orange lever that releases the filter. It was caked with dirt not allowing any air flow causing the motor to overheat.
Don't know where you live, but if there isn't a local shop that can't get it for you, you can go on line to thehooverstore.com and order it. Part # 3944201P.
Hi there smartAlec from nelsonVacuums.com.au here. The answer is NO ! Any moisture you **** up will certainly end in the motor which will ruin your vacuum. If your can remove the hose completely you can flush it out with water then leave it over the clothes line or similar for a day or two to drain completely. hope this helps Happy Vacuuming!.. :)
I don't think you need to worry about the belt going straight onto the motor spindle - this is usually the way they're meant to be. Similarly, belts tend to run a bit warm.
You might like to try something to find out which bit of the mechanism is really making the noise.
Remove the belt altogether.
Grab the end of the motor spindle, and give it a little wobble. While it should be free to turn, you shouldn't expect to be able to move it along its axis by more than a couple of millimetres. There should be even less freedom to move across its axis. Unwanted motion here might suggest a problem with the motor bearings (probably your least desired outcome)
If you spin the spindle, it should be free to turn with a gentle whirring noise, but there should be no nasty knocking sounds, and the spindle shouldn't appear bent. Knocking sounds probably mean something unwanted has got into the motor or (more likely) the fan impellor - and are best investigated by taking it all to bits slowly and carefully.
If the motor feels and sounds right, reasssemble the machine without the belt and see what it sounds like when you run it. If it's still noisy, then you're back with a motor or fan problem - but one which is speed related. This too is a dismantle and inspect job - check for any evidence of parts rubbing against one another and pay particular attention to the impellor, looking for cracks in the blade roots (especially near the hub).
If running the motor without the belt sounds OK, you've isolated the problem to the roller assembly or the belt. See if anything is fouling (ie getting in the way of) the roller. Take it out and check the bearings at either end spin equally freely. Have a quick look to make sure nothing large is missing making the whole thing horribly unbalanced.
Finally, reassemble with a bew belt (they're dirt cheap, and it's surprising how many problems they cause even when they look OK).
Unless you have to strip the motor and fan, this could all take less than ten minutes.

Double-checking for blockages in the hoses (if necessary by making sure you can poke a bit of wire through them) still has to be a good next move.
Next, follow the path the sucked-in air is meant to take, checking for leaks (best way to do this is to run the machine an listen for loud sucking noises). Likely causes are things not put together right, controls set wrong,hoses not properly attached to their couplings or missing seals.
If none of these things, and it is new, I'd take it back to the place you got it from and get them either to show you why there's nothing wrong with it, or to replace it.

Either the carbon brushes on the motor need replacing or the thermal cut out is activating. That might be because it is faulty or because there is not enough airflow over the motor.
Overheating motor causing an automatic shutoff. This is most commonly caused by an air passage that is plugged by hair or dirt.
When your Hoover spin scrub is not sucking up water, the most common problem is the clear round cap located on the suction nozzle is not closed. See pic. Also check the rubber cap on the dirty water tank.
The handle pedal is snapped in to the base, where it pivots.
The pedal needs to be pried away fron the base, exposing the pivot pin to release it for removal. On your model, you will likelly have to remove the lower handle from the base (where it pivots) to get room to release and replace the pedal.
The latch at the bottom of your vacuum cleaner. The problem is that 'React' seems to be a range of cleaners.

If your Hoover SteamVac F5851 is simultaneously dispensing the cleaning solution and extracting it while you have the trigger depressed, there may be an issue with the unit's internal mechanism. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the trigger mechanism: Make sure the trigger is not stuck or jammed in the depressed position. Gently press and release the trigger a few times to ensure it moves freely.
2. Inspect the solution dispenser: Examine the solution dispenser to see if there are any clogs or blockages that might be causing the simultaneous dispensing and extraction. Clean the dispenser thoroughly, removing any debris or obstructions.
3. Verify the solution flow setting: Ensure that the solution flow setting on the SteamVac is correctly adjusted. There should be a control or dial that allows you to adjust the amount of solution being dispensed. Make sure it is set to the desired level and not malfunctioning.
4. Check the suction nozzles: Inspect the suction nozzles and brushes to ensure they are securely attached and not damaged. If any parts appear loose or worn out, you may need to replace them.
5. Clean the unit: Give your SteamVac a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. Remove the recovery tank, rinse it, and make sure it is properly reattached. Clean the brushes and nozzles to remove any built-up dirt or debris that could be affecting the unit's performance.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a more significant problem with the internal components of your SteamVac. In that case, you may need to contact Hoover customer support or take the unit to a professional repair service for further assistance.
