SOURCE: Hoover Bagless WindTunnel vacuum cleaner.

very easy. you have clog. take the brush off look where the hole is thats where the clog is. it might be in there you might have to take the housing off of the motor

SOURCE: My Hoover upright vacuum runs but isn't picking up

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF THE UPRIGHT HOOVER WINDTUNNEL VACUUM CLEANER NOT PICKING UP FROM THE FLOOR, BUT PICKING UP FROM THE HAND-HELD MECHANISM!!!  I  IF YOU HAVE CHECKED FOR BLOCKAGE, ETC., AND FOUND THAT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM, THEN CHECK THE ACCORDION HOSE.  THE ACCORDION HOSE IS ATTACHED ON THE UPRIGHT, FROM THE HAND-HELD HOSE TO THE BRUSH MECHANISM ON THE BOTTOM.  IT PROBABLY HAS COME LOOSE.  MINE DID.  YOU HAVE TO TIGHTEN THAT ACCORDION HOSE FROM BOTH ENDS.  TAKE NOTE:  THE ACCORDION HOSE TIGHTENS COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, NOT CLOCKWISE, AS WE ARE USUALLY TAUGHT!!!  IT TOOK MY HUSBAND HOURS TO FIND THIS SOLUTION, AND FRANKLY, SHAME ON HOOVER FOR THIS DESIGNED OBSOLESCENCE!!!  HOOVER WANTS YOU TO BUY THEIR OVER-PRICED WARRANTY FOR THREE YEARS, WHICH COSTS THE PRICE OF THE VACUUM ITSELF, AND THEN AFTER THE THREE YEARS IS UP, THAT IS WHEN YOUR VACUUM IS DESIGNED TO GO KAPUT.  MY ADVICE:  NEVER BUY HOOVER AGAIN UNLESS IT IS THE ONE FROM THE 50'S.  THAT ONE NEVER DIES!  I HOPE THIS HELPS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!
