Is there a way to repair/replace the brushroll control? I have changed both belts and the brushroll still does not spin.

Hello: I have always taken my Hoover to a vacuum cleaner repair shop, one that is "Hoover Authorized" when anything was wrong with my vacuum, I used to live in Berkeley, CA until recently, and I took it to Berkeley Vacuum Repair on Berkeley Way just off Shattuck Ave. They were always fair & honest with me. Thank you for asking! Laura

I just mailed mine back to manufacturer. They are replacing my motor and hopefully cleaning it. I don't know if you've called them but they have excellent customer support. That's where I would start.

Mine is doing the same thing, I bought it last year, less than 8 months after I bought it, starts slipping when I gear up. Now it won't gear up at all. I did send this to OEM repair before New year, no respond. Please let me know if you know how to fix it since I don't believe I can count on the warranty.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

It might mean your belt that rotates the brush is not connected- I think the light goes off when the brush stops spinning for some reason...

Hi there. I have never personally had the brush roller stop turning, however, if you have a lot of girls in your family, you may want to make sure there isn't a lot of hair wrapped around the roller. I have to get my scissors out every couple of months. You may want to make sure the switch on the handle that changes it from air to roller brush is making contact. If all else fails, this vacuum has a 2 year warranty. I googled the problem and this is the reply I saw.*Brush roll not working after a few months because wires (that supply power to the it) located in the pivot (or joint where the base and body meet) of the vacuum either got severed or insulation scrapped off because of the constant rubbing of the wire and plastic.* The customer service number for Hoover is 1-800-944-9200. I hope one of these solutions will help. Good luck to you.

We had this problem with ours after about 4 years of use. We decided to replace it. We never did find the cause, but narrowed-it-down to either the switch (the brushes will only spin if the handle is in the "reclined" position) or the part that moves the brushes themselves. Our brushes would turn if moved by hand, but eventually failed to move on their own.

You probably lost the drive belt. Easy repair if you want to try. Go online to Uribe to ser the repair.

Try winding it until it clicks only a few times like once or twice, if that doesn't work you can get a new one or take it apart and see if you can fix it

I am in the same dilemma...I took off the beater bar, but the motor shaft goes all the way to the other side, and there is no gap to take the belt on or off...help!

No. But I replaced belt and 2 weeks later the clutch froze up. So I've now done both. YouTube it

Hi I have the sander, the belt moves down as all I have seen of this type. The motor may be reversible but I would have to disassemble it and look and maybe even try to be sure. Hope this helps. tc

John: V-belt ... checked manual before rolling to work ... only issue so far was chute collar which cracked during first use ... Since brand new product at that time, there were no replacement parts. They tried to give me a hard time but failed. It was replaced. LOL wishing you no snow ... ; )

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please)It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

I can use attachments, but the sweeper brush, after 3 belt changes only NOW turns for about 30 seconds. I have owned MANY vacuums over the years and have laboriously changed MANY belts. I believe that I was sent a sub-standard product...
