The brushes on the Hoover All Terrain Steamvac won't turn. However, when I try to turn them manually they will turn. So, why won't they turn when the machine is turned on?

To clean the brushes on a Hoover SteamVac without breaking anything, follow these steps:
Turn off the SteamVac and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Locate the brushes: they are usually located under the unit near the front or in the back.
Remove any debris or foreign objects from around the brushes.
Use a small brush or toothbrush to gently clean the brushes of any dirt or debris. Be careful not to bend or break the brushes.
Replace the brushes and reassemble the SteamVac.
Plug the SteamVac back in and turn it on to test if it is working properly.
If the brushes are damaged or worn out, they may need to be replaced. It is also a good idea to refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions on how to clean and maintain the brushes on your model of Hoover SteamVac.
You have two model numbers showing.
I could not find anything on the F7425-900, but I did find an exploded view of the F7452-900
If you go to this URL:
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/hoover-f7452900-steamvac-all-terrain-parts-c-37315_37419_37439.html
you can see the exploded view. This itself does not provide directions on changing the brush, but it does indicate that by removing a few screws on the brush and squeezing some plastic tabs (looks like any way) that you can pull the brush off.
If you have the new brush already, it may indicate some of the connection points.
Hope this helps a bit.

I checked the owner's manual and the parts breakdown for your model F5807. Both showed that your model has a stationary brush strip and not rotating brushes. Is F5807 the correct model number?
I am not sure if you have the F7222 or F7452 all terran. There is a plastic piece on the back of the block brush (spin scrubbers) these wear out or break. You may need to replace the block brush. You can find the parts below follow the link. Please don't forget to give positive feedback.
Go to www.Hoover.com. Click on Carpet Cleaners. Click on Steam Vac All Terrain. Click on Learn more. Then click on Download the manual in pdf. The manual explains all.
The brushes are driven by air flow (suction). the most likely problem is with the turbine. This part can be replaced or repaired. If under warranty, take it tin for service, otherwise you will void any warranty.
The primary problem is that the turbine is seized. One way to verify this is to try to manually move the brushes by hand (with it off, unplugged). If not then your problem is with the turbine. This usually requires professional service. I would recommend to take it to a trusted vac shop which is familiar with these cleaners. or go to the hoover web site to locate a hoover dealer near you.
