Vacuum Cleaner Repair
We own the following vacuum cleaner:
http://www.hoover.com/Product.aspx?m...40900&ds=false The agitator brush got clogged, and the unit overheated. After cleaning the agitator, it powers up and seems work fine until the agitator comes into contact with the carpet, and then it stalls. There is no change in the pitch of the motor. Are there two motors in the unit or just one? If it is one, there must be a problem between the motor, belt, and agitator. The belt does not appear to be stretched. I'm not sure how to tell how slick it is. The agitator moves freely when the belt is not connected. Where should I look to repair this unit? Thanks. |

Regardless it should be replaced. Over heating made it no good. |

Make sure the belt is on right--if so, replace the belt
