Hoover carpet cleaner hose tool has suction but no suction at the floor nozzle

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting diverter mechanisms.

• Check diverter control: Locate the floor/hose suction selector and move it firmly to FLOOR mode.
• Inspect diverter valve: Access the diverter housing and check for debris preventing full movement. Clean and ensure seals are intact.
• Check dirty water tank seating: Make sure the tank is fully seated and the suction port aligns with the floor nozzle channel.
• Clear floor nozzle: Remove the nozzle and clear any blockages at the floor suction intake.
