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!

There is no internal fuse, trouble shooting guide is referring to your home's power..There are no electrical parts available. You will have to return to service center. Page 25 https://tti.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/FH51200_Hoover_User_Manual

There is a duct in the front of the water recovery tank that you remove to install the upholstery hose. If this duct is missing or not installed properly you will have no suction

It may be soap residue not rinsed from the carpets. You may also have something in the brushes causing the lines.

The plastic clips in the handle that hold the trigger may be broken. Take the handle apart and inspect this area closely

Sears has it in stock : http://www.sears.com/hoover-90001079-48434083-hoover-air-hose-lower-agility/p-SPM7556800308?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 Sears com

It sounds like one of the hoses that supplies solution has either ruptured or come disconnected and is running out through the machine. Disassembling it is the only solution to check for that problem.

Look for a broken belt.

if you haven't use distilled water then your hose is stopped up or a plug somewhere, you will have to have it professionally serviced

That part has been discontinued. You should take it to your local vacuum repair shop to have it diagnosed. If the switch is actually at fault they can most likely help you with an alternate switch. It may not be the switch , so buying one would be a waste of money.

That sucks! Um, if you do not have the manual, here it is http://hoover.com/file/622/ If that does not help. you can contact Hoover https://hoover.com/contact/ Flick the boyfriend

The top part is the fresh water tank

On many hoover models the hose attaches to the vacuum and is held on by a clip on the hose assembly. There may be some damage to your hose or the place where it attaches to the machine. Inspect these areas trying to locate the point of the leak.

You have to continually hold the trigger to release the cleaning solution. If you don't hold the trigger closed then you are running the vacuum in carpet drying mode. http://hoover.com/file/610/

I think it does other wise how is it suppose to clean. If it's not sounds like a broken belt.

Hi! Sometimes it is necessary to prime the trigger under the handle to get the solution flowing. To prime the trigger, recline the handle and pump trigger about 60 times. Then, power the cleaner on and squeeze the trigger for about 60 seconds. The solution should start to dispense. If it is still not dispensing there may be an issue with the pump assembly on the cleaner. We would recommend taking the cleaner in to a Hoover authorized service center for repair.

Hi there! To prepare for cleaning, put the solution and water in the top tank. While cleaning, all the dirty water gets sucked into the bottom tank. To clean squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push carpet cleaner forward, this equals one wet stroke. Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke). Release trigger and slowly push carpet cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). To avoid saturating the carpet don't do more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes.
