I have an older Hoover Steem Vac.
There is a plastic lever in the bottom unit on the right side that
activates the brushes when you lower the handle into an operating
position. Over time the lever develops too much play in the plastic and
no longer activates the brushes. You can manually activate the brushes
by pushing the lever into the proper position with your hand.
