20 Most Recent Hoover F7452-900 SteamVac Upright Vacuum Questions & Answers

When you put the tank on it connects with the unit and opens the valve on the bottom of the tank to allow the water to flow check for debris hair etc around the connection, it is possible the seal itself is worn or bad and needs replacement but I think the trigger only lets air in the tank so the water will flow out by gravity, I'm not positive on this but mine works that way.

The manual suggests cleaning the filter screen near the brush assembly. This is located on the bottom of the unit. In cleaning this it did not successfully help. I then proceeded to take the cover (blue) off the motor an brush drive and worked my way to the gear assembly. This is where I found the actually problem.

The problem: The brushes are driven by a turbine wheel operated with suction from the vacuum. In my unit the turbine and bearings became loose or slipped to the point that the worm gear lost contact with the additional gears that drive the brush. When resetting the assembly so that ample contact is established the unit began to operate fine.

This can be complicated to explain and illustrate therefore taking the unit in for repair is recommended. If you are confident in repairing the unit yourself then go for it.

• Hi, I can help.

• First I will offer you an exploded diagram / parts manual. http://www.monsterjanitorial.com/hoovervacuummanuals/F7452900hoovervacuumcleaner.pdf

1. After you remove the brushes there are 4 screws where the brushes were that need to be removed.
2. Right behind the housing for the brush, on the base, are two more screws that need to be removed.
3. Now there are two more screws more towards the outside of the base that need to be removed.
4. Stand the vacuum upright and lower the handle.
5. Now remove the main suction nozzle.
6. Now remove the screw that holds that housing where that suction nozzle just was.
7. Now remove the screws that are above the wheels.
8. Now the cover will just pull up.
9. Now you can see and address the turbine.

This problem sound like you hav a problem with the pump. I would take it to a shop for service I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_b96ba3f038cf317c

does it use a belt? then check if the belt is broken

No belt.Check out the other solution.The brushes are driven by a turbine that is driven by suction from the motor.Sounds like the inside of the turbine needs lubrication so it needs to be either spun free or dismantled

The brushes are powered by air suction from the motor. At the heart of this complicated system are roller bearings. When one fails the system fails. This is not one of the parts that Hoover thinks is needed on it's parts site so I've haven't found a way to repair this.

Hello
Either the brushes are not in correctly or there is a lever or slde switch to disable them.

Make sure that lever is in the brushes on position.

Also check that the gears are turning while the brushes are out.

This may be due to an electrical issue with the solenoids not shuuting off when suposed to. I would take it to a shop for repair. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_b96ba3f038cf317c

make sure that you have it on the carpet setting and not the hardwood/tile setting. also if you used the hose, make sure that the little door is closed. if all checked... remove the recovery tank, there should be a rubber grament on the stand pipe under the tank, if it is there, then it would have to be the turbine assembly that drives the brushes
