If any moisture has entered the vacuum at any time then this will cause a musty smell. Does the primary filter have discoloration or a yellowy stain on it? this usually indicates moisture has been present at some stage. Replacing the filter may help or you can place a small sachet of air freshener beads (glade) in the bottom of the canister under the bag. This will give a pleasant smell whether vacuuming or blowing.

Fix the yellow flashing light on a numatic hoover ref hqz 250-2

What is wrong with the yellow flashing light? This is a bag full / low air flow indicator. If your bag is not full then you most likely have a blockage in the hose, wand or tool.

It could be the sponge filters or the dust partition that need replacing. But it might also be coming from the motor, best bet is to get it checked out.

Water in Henry vacuum cleaner motor.

I would say it's essential to open Henry up, otherwise (assuming he has indeed got water inside him) you will wait for ever for him to dry. He can be opened very easily - just undo the four recessed screws on the underside of his hat, and the upper part will lift off. Pay attention to the switch (or switches, depending on the model) as that may be more vulnerable to water penetration than the motor. The motor compartment may have water in it, but the motor itself is probably fairly well protected. When you've got it opened and mopped up any visible water, it will help to give it a blow with a hair dryer.
If in doubt, though, get a professional to deal with it. It pays not to mess with electricity if you're unsure!

Numatic gve370 canister wet/dry motor gone noisy

Try blowing out the motor housing with commpressed air through the cooling vents as it is running, if that dont quiet it down it may be the bearings are dry and need to be oiled, use 20w 3 in 1 oil in the blue container.

My hoover smells of ammonia

Hello,
I too have a problem with a bad smell coming from my henry hound hoover, but thats probely because i haven't used a hoover bag. I took the cloth filter out,banged all the dust off, then sprayed it with 'RugDoctor' pet stain remover for carpets and upholstery. It still smells a bit, but not half as bad as befor. I have now ordered a reusable,zipable,washable cloth hoover bag especially made for Henry's. It cost £8.80 from ebay with free postage. Hope this helps Nikki.
