How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cleaner before working near the brushes.
- Check brush control: Some Hoover models have a brush on/off pedal or switch. Ensure it is set to ON or CARPET mode.
- Remove and clean brushes: Take out the SpinScrub brush assembly or brush bar. Remove hair, threads, and debris from the bristles and end caps.
- Inspect drive belt: Access the brush drive area and check the brush drive belt. Replace if broken, melted, or stretched.
- Test brush motor: If the belt is intact and brushes are free, but still do not spin, the brush motor may be faulty and require replacement.
