I'm afraid you burned a coil in the motor. And accidentally it stopped while that coil is between the contact brushes. Or one of the (or both) brushes are worn.

Testimonial: "Good explanation. What should I do about having it fixed or is it something my husband fix."

    So how do you fix that? Mine did the same. Used it first time out of the box and it worked great. Stopped to refill the clean and empty the dirty water. When I started back up it worked for about 5 seconds and then cut off (as if someone unplugged it). Checked the outlets, that wasn't the problem. Sent it to the repair place that Hoover customer service directed. They kept it a week and the. Called to say it worked perfectly in their shop. I brought it home, and it worked great again... Then about halfway through the second tank of water the sound began to change (as of the motor was overheating and struggling). I cut it off, went back to it after time to cool, and NOTHING.

Why doesn't the water pick up on my carpet shampooer???

Hi Julie! If the cleaner is not picking up the dirty water this usually means something is not sealed off properly. Try these steps below to restore suction to your cleaner.

1. Remove the clean water tank. Recline the handle & let the handle lie down on the floor.
2. Remove the dirty water tank. Check that the dirty water tank cap is on the dirty water tank and tightened closed.
3. Clear the filter screen of any hair or debris.
4. Remove the nozzle. Clean the nozzle of any hair or debris.
5. Located on the machine behind the nozzle is a 2nd filter screen. Clean it of any hair or debris.
6. Replace the nozzle.
7. Replace the dirty water tank. Press down on all sides so that it is flush to the cleaner base.

Give it a try! The suction should be restored to your cleaner. If not I have included a video link where you may view these instructions. Hope this helps! Loss of Suction Won pick up Hoover Max Extract 77 FH50230 FH50222...

How to use the upholstery attachment for hoover max extra 60 carpet cleaner?

Hey there! The nozzle/valve that releases the solution from the hose may be clogged and not closing off to stop the solution flow. You can try soaking the trigger end in warm water for a few hours to unclog it. Also make sure you are inserting the hose back into the hose slot in the back of the cleaner. If the cleaner is still dispensing from both the hose and the cleaner, your nozzle/valve assembly may need to be replaced. To order a replacement nozzle/valve assembly follow the link below.

Why is my retrieval tank light on when its empty hoover f8100900

Hi Tara! Try removing the dirty water tank and replacing it. If the dirty water tank is seated properly, you may have an issue with the sensor on the cleaner.

Replace the part. This might mean buying a whole new water tank. You can order most parts online. Have your make and model ready. Find a site by google. ie if it's a hoover enter, "hoover parts".
