Overheating motor causing an automatic shutoff. This is most commonly caused by an air passage that is plugged by hair or dirt.

This is a little joke that Hoover has played, and for some reason no one else has explained it. (One answer hints at it, but doesn't explain at all.) The height adjuster does NOT operate when the vacuum is in the upright & locked position. The tabs for the adjuster won't go into the holes above them until the vacuum is unlocked and at a slight angle. You can just install the height adjuster wheel assembly in the locked position, replace the lower cover, and voila! you will be able to adjust the height with the vacuum angled as it is for use. That's an hour of my life I won't get back!

When your Hoover spin scrub is not sucking up water, the most common problem is the clear round cap located on the suction nozzle is not closed. See pic. Also check the rubber cap on the dirty water tank.

The only people that will know is Hoover. There are no clues in there. It could be 3 month of 2002, but anyone's guess. Phone them up.

If your Hoover SteamVac F5851 is simultaneously dispensing the cleaning solution and extracting it while you have the trigger depressed, there may be an issue with the unit's internal mechanism. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Check the trigger mechanism: Make sure the trigger is not stuck or jammed in the depressed position. Gently press and release the trigger a few times to ensure it moves freely. 2. Inspect the solution dispenser: Examine the solution dispenser to see if there are any clogs or blockages that might be causing the simultaneous dispensing and extraction. Clean the dispenser thoroughly, removing any debris or obstructions. 3. Verify the solution flow setting: Ensure that the solution flow setting on the SteamVac is correctly adjusted. There should be a control or dial that allows you to adjust the amount of solution being dispensed. Make sure it is set to the desired level and not malfunctioning. 4. Check the suction nozzles: Inspect the suction nozzles and brushes to ensure they are securely attached and not damaged. If any parts appear loose or worn out, you may need to replace them. 5. Clean the unit: Give your SteamVac a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. Remove the recovery tank, rinse it, and make sure it is properly reattached. Clean the brushes and nozzles to remove any built-up dirt or debris that could be affecting the unit's performance. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a more significant problem with the internal components of your SteamVac. In that case, you may need to contact Hoover customer support or take the unit to a professional repair service for further assistance.

You should not try this on your own. Take it to an authorized Hoover warranty repair center near you. This is not an easy job and is usually not worth the expense if the machine is out of warranty anyway. If it's within the warranty period, warranty will cover it. My shop is a Hoover warranty center and we have replaced a lot of these.

Look inside the wire crimps with the white and yellow wires for wire strands alongside the other wires (broken off of the power cord). If you see some, that's the neutral connection. If you don't see any stray strands in either connector, you'll have to trace the wiring. First, check how many connections there are on the power switch. If there are only two (one should be connected to the black wire going to the power cord), the answer is not there, and you'll have to identify the wire that goes directly to the motor and the lamp socket (including any wires connected together). If there are four terminals on the power switch, with black wires going to one pair of terminals and white or yellow wires going to the other pair, identify which black wire goes to the power cord connection. The white wire next to it goes to the connection you want. How did you manage to pull the power cord out of the connectors? There's supposed to be some kind of clamp, knot, or other restraining means where the power cord goes into the vacuum cleaner to prevent this potentially dangerous situation. If that is broken or missing, get it repaired before using the vacuum cleaner.
