Hoover FH50150 Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner. How to replace the handle release on it please?
The FH50150 model is a Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner, which features a handle release button that is used to adjust the handle's height and fold the machine for storage. If the handle release button is broken or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Here are the steps to replace the handle release on a FH50150 model:
- Unplug the machine from the power source and remove the solution tank and recovery tank.
- Lay the machine on its back, so that the underside is facing upwards.
- Locate the handle release assembly at the base of the machine's handle. It will have a rectangular shape and a small metal spring inside it.
- Using a pair of pliers, gently remove the metal spring from the handle release assembly and set it aside.
- Next, remove the handle release button by pressing on the two tabs that secure it to the assembly. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to push the tabs inward.
- Once the button is removed, slide the old handle release assembly out of the handle.
- Take the new handle release assembly and slide it into the handle, making sure that it is securely in place.
- Attach the new handle release button to the assembly by pushing it in until it clicks into place.
- Finally, insert the metal spring back into the assembly, making sure it is positioned correctly.
- Test the handle release to ensure it is working properly.
- Once you are satisfied that the handle release is working correctly, replace the solution tank and recovery tank, plug in the machine, and you're ready to use it again.
If you are unsure about any of these steps, it is recommended to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
