Hoover spin scrub 50 leaking from bottom
Uh, may I encourage everyone to check the trigger under the handle...we went through taking the whole thing apart and it was just that the trigger was stuck in the open position, which poured the water out continually!
How do I clean the hoover steam vac floor cleaner
Nozzle Clean Out tool is NO LONGER AVAILABLE from Hoover. Hoover stopped making this part over 1 year ago, and it's not sold any more. What you'll need to do is remove the dirty solution thank, unscrew the one silver screw on the suction port of the clear window, then turn the machine upside down and remove the two silver screws on the bottom corners of the see thru window. This will then allow you to completely remove the see thru part to clean inside of it. Unfortunately with this model that's really the easiest way to do it now that the tool is no longer available.
Replace a turbine and gear assembly on a hoover F5914-900
Nine years later, and this page was a godsend! However, the price of a new turbine simply wasn't cost effective, so I opened up the turbine and found a rusted, seized bearing. Don't let the idea of fixing the turbine scare you... it's not difficult at all if you know how to use a Phillips screwdriver. And if it's not working now, you aren't going to make things worse.A bit of Internet searching will show you how to open the turbine, but even without a set of instructions, don't be afraid to take out those four screws. I was fortunate: I pulled that rusted bearing and went to Akron (Ohio) Bearing and showed them the old one. In 30 seconds the guy behind the counter handed me the identical bearing. I cleaned up all the plastic gears in the turbine, regreased them, and had it back together in no time. You don't live in Akron, Ohio?? - Just look for a bearing business in a city near you.
The brushes are not turning on my hoover smart wash cleaner
Go to your owner's manual, page 12. Remove the belt cover pieces and inspect the function of the belts and brushes, turning them by hand to confirm mechanical connection to the motor. Find the inoperative part and replace it, then simply reassemble the unit and start cleaning your carpet. ;)
How do I disassemble a Hoover FloorMate deluxe to install the hose -lower duct assembly?
The key is removing the gray top cover plate and then it is easy enough to figure out from there. Underneath on the black plate you put the brush into the furthest holes there are screws that are holding the front of the gray top plate. Remove the other black plate like a trapezoid shape on the bottom just by pulling down on the widest part. After removing that you will see four more screws in the clear part hidden deep in holes. Two are just in front of the wheels and then another two about an inch away going towards the brush part. From then it is just a matter of separating the body to be able to remove the part and replace.
