Most vaccumeing have 4 to 5 screws holding the bottom plate remove plate pull out roller . Slide it off the roller and motor replace with new belt by first slide belt around motor arm then roller pull roller into place then roll the roller 3-4 times to insure it's in the right spot. Replace bottom plate
You have to remove the roller to get to the belt' look at the face and bottom to find the screws that hold the plate that covers the roller. Take the plate off and look @ the roller, to see where the belt runs. then take the roller out, you should be able to see the pin shaft that comes from the motor,the belt goes around it and over the roller.Be patient putting it all back together,and don't over tighten the screws, they strip easily, Good luck!
Hi there, Yes it likely does need replacing. The only other possibility is that the base plate is installed slightly incorrectly and is pressing on the roller making it unable to move. If the machine makes the same sound without the base plate on replace the roller brush. It is possible to simply replace the roller brush bearing too (size 625) if the roller is not damaged.
You've got a broken belt. Most Hoover Vacuums have a spare belt attached to the vacuum itself. Replacement is fairly easy and usually won't require tools. To replace your belt:
Unplug the vacuum
Locate clips on bottom of vacuum-Hoover uses clips that can be opened by hand.
Lift up the plate that encloses the rollers
Remove broken belt
Remove roller from it's compartment
Install replacement belt (hooking it around the motor and roller, using the roller for leverage to stretch out the belt until you have the roller in it's compartment.
If you hear the brush moter running then the belt driving the roller has probably broken. It can be easily replaced by removing the brush plate underneath and pulling the roller out. Replacement belts are available on-line or may be available in hardware stores.Fit the new belt over the steel motor spindle first, then place the belt over the roller and insert the roller.
The belt will break if the roller gets jammed, so buy 2 belts and keep one as a spare.
Remove the bottom cover of the sweeper head, then remove the brush roller along with the belt if still there. Clean the brush end-bearings--the roller ends and the interior of the bushings. Then oil the bearings lightly with 3-1 oil or similar. Place the new belt over the roller and the motor shaft adding any required belt twist (diagram on the casting), then seat the roller and bearings as a unit. Replace the cover and test the roller for running. Hope this helps!
UNPLUG THE VACUM CLEANER FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET!
OK, now you cannot sue me.
The plastic tabs on this machine can snap and break.
Be gentle and try not to break anything.
Remove the roller guard on the bottom using a screwdriver where indicated to pry the retaining tabs.
Remove the upper shell of the motor housing using the same method on its retaining tabs.
Slide the belt off the motor shaft.
Remove the roller being sure to keep track of which way it came out so you can replace it in the right direction.
Remove the belt from the roller.
This is a good time to clean out the dust and debris especially from the roller and the motor's air vents (for cooling the motor).
Place the new belt on the roller.
Install roller in the correct direction.
Pry the new belt over the motor shaft. This will take some muscle and guts to stretch it.
Replace upper shell housing.
Replace roller guard.
Be ready to shut off immediately in case there is a problem.
Plug in and test.
There is a small rubber belt that connects to motor and the roller. It is common that this belt will break or wear and needs replacement. However, you must check the roller to see if it turns (spins ) freely. If it is stiff, then a new belt will be ruined in minutes. You must replace or clean the bearings at the ends of the roller (sometimes easy-sometimes hard). This roller must turn easy so the belt can do its job.
Replacement parts are easily available. I bought a roller with new bearings for a hoover about 4 months back----cost $13. and af course a new belt for $2.20. Goodluck< MAcgivor
No belt- it is motor driven. what happens to these if the rollers get stuck(by- say, a Lego® or something) is the roller itself has an insert which will break, requiring roller replacement.
simple fix, but costs a little more than a belt. remove two screws holding the roller cover, accessible by flipping the vac over. then figure out which roller is broken, and remove the 2 outer screws on that side. pull the outer bearing cup assembly straight out to remove the rollers.
I have found the rollers as cheap as $3.50 ea/ for generic replacements. Also I reckon any Vac shop would have them on hand.
