Plugged hose on Hoover Windtunnel
you will have to remove the bottom cowling under the vaccum cleaner there are 4 phillips head screws one at each corner when you turn over the vaccum cleaner, take this off and remember how it goes back on. in the area where the hos is there will probably be a clog at that point. remove this and pull hose off and make sure it is not clogged farther up the hose, reinstall and check

We have a Hoover WindTtunnel,
What you have is a bad thermal fuse. The fuse is located on a motor wire inside the motor compartment,( part # 28382093, msrp $ 6.59). A good deal of disassembly is required to access this part. Bypassing is NOT recommended.

The suction has decreased by about 50%. The brush
Check that there is nothing blocking the hose and that there are no obstructions around any of the filters, clean and replace filters too if possible. If you still find you have less than optimum suction , you may need to replace your motor. But it sounds like there may be a blockage or an air leakage somewhere in the unit.Good luck.

The on off swtich doesn't work on our hoover
Hi,
If its just the switch then by all means it can be repaired or replaced. If it needs replacement and the part is not available, you could replace it with a generic switch which may need some modification. Alternatively you can bypass the switch with the wiring and turn the machine on and off at the wall outlet.
Best wishes,

Vacuum will not shut off
Either the switch has a contact inside, or the wiring in the harness to motor are making contact.
This can be verified using a multimeter , preferably reading continuity (Ohms) on switch contacts, with power disconnected, that is safer than reading voltages.
This will tell if responsible is the switch or the wiring harness.

Hoover u 6401 bought v
You will need to get another belt, it's common that the people pulling the parts are so busy, that they sometimes mistakenly pull the wrong part, or the wrong part number was given, even a misprint in the manual. Needless to say, it seems that you don't have the correct belt. There is no adjustment for belt tension, so it has to be the wrong belt.
