Both of my belts work, however, it seems the roller won't roll. I have the switch turned to carpet and both belts are running, but burning while running because the roller doesn't want to roll. When we took it apart, we put it back together and when we put it back in, the end seems to screw off the roller when in motion - I was sure we put it back the way we took it out. We even checked the ball bearings and cleaned everything real well. Are we missing a part? Can you please explain to us how to put the roller back together correctly so we can get it to stay in place without unscrewing? Thank you!

Re: Hoover Wind Tunnel
What probably happened is you swapped end over end when you replaced the beater brush. anyway go to thehooverstore, find your machine and you'll see an exloded diagram of your machine.

Replacement Brush Roller, Fits Hoover UH70400 Windtunnel Air Bagless ... A brush roller on your vacuum is really like a broom for your carpet, that gets all the ...
It's an issue that the front roller isn't engaged. there's usually a belt connected to the roller on one side of it. That belt is connected to the same motor that develops the suction. You have to find that area and either pull the belt over the motor and/or the brush. Close it back up and turn it on again.
The belts may look fine but may be stretched and worn. Replace them. Make sure brush spins free. Idler pulley should tighten belt tension when handle is released
If you turn the vacuum over there will be (4) screws that hold on the base cover for the roller brush. Remove the screws and the cover and you can get to the belt(s). You can get replacement belts here:
The belt (one around the roller) will only engage the roller upon 2 conditions. the carpet switch needs to be in carpet and the machine needs to be tilted back. The other belt, may appear to be on, but can be stretched and also cause this issue, the recommended time to replace the belts are 9 - 12 months under normal use.
sounds like your brush roller bearings are going bador cloged up with carpet strands if you can take the bottom open and remove the brush roller look at the ends and see if you see any melted plastic or see if the ends feel loose like wobble back and forth.once you take the roller out turn the vacuum on and see if you hear the same noise.also check the belt and see if it looks burnt on the inside of the belt. and does it look stretched out .the belt might be stretched out and fluttering when running.feel free to cal me and maybe i can help you further with it.i'm not one of the techs .i'm just trying to help people.i don't charge for my advise
when you released the end to slide the new belt on it allows the tension roller to slide into the wrong position. Remove the top so that you can see the roller, at the left side of the roller mechanism there is a screw, loosen it enough to allow the roller to return to the correct position.
good luck
You didn;'t say what the problem is, but I assume that the brush roll is not turning. Take of the cover over the brush roll, then you can get to the brush roll and the belt. The belt probably came off or broke. Best to replace the belt.
