Possible Causes

Completely failed battery pack, Faulty charger, Blown internal fuse on main PCB, Broken power wiring or connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the charger from mains before inspection.

Steps:

  • Test outlet and charger: Verify the wall outlet works with another device. Check the Hoover charger LED when plugged in without the vacuum; some models show a standby light.
  • Check charger on battery (if removable): Attach the charger directly to the battery. If no lights appear on charger or battery, suspect the charger or battery.
  • Try another charger or battery: If possible, test with a known-good Hoover charger or battery to isolate the fault.
  • Inspect battery contacts: Look for bent or recessed contacts on the vacuum and battery. Clean gently with a dry cloth.

If still dead: The main PCB, internal fuse, or wiring is likely faulty. These require disassembly and electrical testing; contact a Hoover service center.
