Thank you! All Hoover videos were 10+ years old, unplug, and call us--not helpful when carpet cleaner stopped working halfway through living room during project-full 3-day weekend. So thankful to have found you after 90-minutes of progressive troubleshooting.
Great video! I was looking for one to help me figure this out and came upon yours. I used a toothbrush to clean off the spin brushes. Found that to be much easier and less time consuming than just picking at them😁. Thank you for your time!
Thank you so much! I was trying so hard to find how to disassemble the brush assembly. You rock!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for this video!
I found a fine tooth comb works great for cleaning brushes!
Video helped me disassemble my unit. Did not realize the back screws. Thanks. Great engineered unit but capacity sucks. My brushes were not turning. Loaned it to someone and I think they exerted pressure on the housing and the gear got stuck. Brushes are air/gear driven. Great design.
I think this is what happening to me and I don't know how to fix it. It was just fine when I turned it on, did a corner in my bedroom and then I think the hose detached because now it is extremely loud and I don't know why :(
Hank you are spot on (pun intended) with this video. I have one of those Hoover cleaners and have never seen any how to's to clean them. I am a novice DIYer so your instructions were so helpful. I have Harley's second cousin (Callie) living with me and need to clean our rugs. I will follow your instruction and clean my Hoover Spinscrub before I do. Thank you so very much Hank!
Thank you for the tips, much appreciated.
Thanks a lot, I used this video and another to get into the center cog assembly that makes the brushes turn, managed to get them moving again!
Thank you for the video!
Almost the same for my Hoover Xtreme Scrub steam vac.
I was able to fix mine!
THE PROBLEM on mine WAS: the scrub brushes stopped because the internal large plastic vacuum powered turbine wheel cracked from the center shaft outward like the plastic hole was too tight for the metal shaft pressure crack over time. This caused it to scrape inside the housing and stop with the smell of like a rubber belt burning.
I found a disassembly tutorial on fixya for oiling the assembly. I didn't need to oil mine but I did smear some of the factory grease on the walls, onto the gear teeth.
I was able to fix mine very well by: generic Super glued(not gel or gorilla glue) inside the cracks and holding tightly with my hands for several minutes.
Then I carefully sprinkled just a little baking soda into and over the crack seams. This filled in any gaps. Then I let it sit over night to reach full strength.
Align the shaft bumps with the inside of the plastic hub of the wheel.
Then use a bench vice or light hammer with socket to Carefully press tap the center hub back onto the metal shaft until the shaft end is flush with the plastic hub top surface.
*In hindsight it might have been better, I would recommend, to when gluing the wheel cracks, to insert the metal shaft and then super glue the cracks and hold it all together. This way there won't be the risks of the shaft being too tight in the wheel hub hole when and causing another split or the risk of getting super glue into the wheel hub hole, causing the same problem.
This saved me $50 for a complete Hoover turbine assembly I see can be purchased.
PS I see the scrub brushes speed selection knob does have a hook catch. So to reduce the risk of it breaking when pulling it up-off, use a screw driver between the knob and the cover to flex the cover away from the knob where the knob's underside hook catches the cover.
Take care.
I will try this soon. Thanks for video
Thank you so much, I was just about to throw mine out to the garbage. You saved me some cash from having to buy a new one.
I use my backyard water hose with spray head to remove the trappped dust bits on the brushes. It makes everything easier (Though you will have to spray each bristle 1 by 1). You can see the dust slip off of the bristles. I don’t know about using a preassure washer but I think you should definitely try this next time with a regular water hose with sprayer.
I've cleaned the brushes by using a flea comb on them in soapy water, very easy
Thank you for the time that you put into making an excellent and very informative video. Great help...
You're very welcome!
Help!! I can’t get the darn top off!!! You just bounced it and off it popped, but it’s just not releasing right by the step switch? I can’t find any more screws!!
I wish you had shown how to get the initial suction track off for cleaning because that is the number one problem this cleaner has, no suction. I got the top off per the video, after also removing the top 2 screws, but I don't k ow which screws to release to expose the initial suction trafk... :-(
Entire brush part replacement is $50 on Amazon. I paid $80 for my Hoover spin brush at Fred Meyer. Expensive part.
Thanks for posting this! I have this one and its leaking from the inside somewhere and there’s no water pressure to the attachment handle, water just drips out by gravity. At least now I know how to take it apart with not taking to many screws out.
Have you found the solution? Mine is the same way
Everything on my unit is working, except the brush isn't spinning. The gears are not stuck, the brush itself is not stuck, and without the brush on I can see the part on the machine that holds the brush is spinning. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I take such good care of mine. Using it today I noticed the trigger on the handle is slightly sticking...sort of like when you push it it bounces back kind of slowly... still totally usable...but wondering if there's a fix....
Hank. Need some help. I ended up with 12 screws taking apart my spin brush to get the old pump out. I got a new pump and installed it just fine but I can’t figure out where two of the screws go. I’ve tried to find a diagram that shows all of the places they go but no luck. Any ideas?
I can’t get the top off from the bottom. I think my issue is somehow disconnecting the solution connection piece from the top of the machine. I’m trying to change the electrical cord. Any suggestions? I’ve tried vice grips but nothing seems to work!
i have the newest one and i had not used it in 6 months due to moving so i went to use it and it got power for 1 sec and shut down and wont come back on and ideas?
I latch a recovery tank without seating all the way and it’s stuck. I can’t remove it or put it on
I cannot get the screws out on top of the plastic motor housing… seems like I need a long skinny Philips. Can you or anyone tell me what size Philips head you used to get the top off ? Thanks for the great video!!!
On the bottom of the freshwater tank is there a seal of some sort or is it just the black plastic thing id you push in water will come out?
You’ve had the most informative video , step by step that I’ve seen yet. Thank you !!!
What about the handle the trigger isn’t making the piece move up to release the waste to flow
Why does mine sound like there is something trapped in a motor, gears or belt? It smells like burning rubber. Like others have commented, I lent it to someone, they put it back in my garage and I didn’t think to check it, it was clogged with so much dog hair, I guess it never occurred to them to actually vacuum first. I need it now, I dropped a bottle or Worcestershire sauce it shattered and got on the carpet too.
What causes the hoover machine to.use chemicals on wash or rinse I have a power scrub spin 5.0
Thank you
Mine is making a deep sound like something is clogged how do I fix that?
How can I remove wheels. One of them does not turn. Rust problem. Thank you.
Where does the nozzle release lever go? HAS THE SILVER SCREW
If you own a Hoover Power Scrub FH50135 and are trying to remove the brush, do not yank it out. There are black clips deep inside. I used a flathead screwdriver and pushed them out on both sides. Yanking it out may ruin the plastic grooves.
Do these have a belt that drives the brush assembly? My motor smells like it's burning when I run it.
Water won’t go into my tank not working? Water and solution are in but when powered on it’s not working nothing sucking up
Do you have a video on changing the wheels?
Great video! I watched looking for the screws that everyone talks about as rusting. Didn't see anything. Is it because this is a newer model, or because it needs further disassembly? Anyone know if you can prematurely replace the screws with stainless steal so you don't run into the problem? Or any tips on maintenance to prevent rust? Like maybe tip it over and blow a fan on the bottom after each use to get it to dry quicker?
it probably wont last that long just use regular screws. my motor or the actual switch broke. i am not sure i cant get the cover off to look at it. i used mine almost dialy my little house dog has accidents.
I’ve been putting it in front of air purifiers I have that blow air out the front. It was working but eventually it rusted and I’m not sure what to do or exactly where it’s coming from. You could use a blow dryer as well.
Any idea how to fix the attachment?? Mine isn't spraying. It just runs out like there is no pressure behind it. I've cleaned the machine. I took apart the attachment to see if anything was broken or leaking but it's not. I've tried priming to make sure there no air locks but still no luck.
I'm having the same problem and my unit isn't that old .
Thank you for this video - it was so helpful ! Mine had a high pitched squeal in it for the last few uses. Tonight it seized up.
I disassembled mine and clean everything up. Turned it back on with the top shroud off and...
The vacuum feature was still working, but I could smell a metal or melting rubber smell. I can see sparks inside the motor - through the grill on the top of the motor. Is there supposed to be sparks in there ? It seems like I might have to change the motor in mine. Any thoughts on the sparks which I see ?
Yea that's normal, its a "brushed" motor that's just normal operation. As far as the smell im not sure, if it's not something jambed into the brush Rolls it could be something failing inside.
@@hanksgarage_ Hey - thanks for the reply. The sparks are orange and look like someone lit a mini 4th of July sparkler up and threw it in there. Maybe the burning rubber type smell is the carbon brush wearing out on the bearings ?
Great video. I still have the center motor making a high frequency noise. Any suggestions?
Mine too and then it seized up tonight - ugh
Same!!!
Bro I have an elite power scrub not even the same model the same trick fixed it thank you
Mine stopped spraying water today. No water comes out of the bladder at all.
Can you take the back off the water 💧 tank I think my solution hoses is clogged.?
Easiest way to clean the brushes is with an old fine tooth comb! Gets every little bit out quickly!
God bless you hank you save me lots of money
I have used a paintbrush comb to remove all the pet hairs out of the spin brushes !
Hoping you can help me or point me in the right direction. I lent my carpet washer to someone months ago (I know...), and now when trying to use it again, it starts leaking water and solution without even turning the machine on. It’s as if it were missing something but how can I know what? It only leaks when it is installed in place, not when it is out of the machine. Maybe you could take a picture of the area where the water/solution tank sits on so I can compare. Please! Someone!?
did you figure this out? save problem here and I'm guessing it's either a broken hose or cracked something 🤦 it'll take a total tear down to figure out out
Hey Hank. Thanks for the video. We opened up and cleaned everything. now it is spraying good on carpet but not sucking up dirty water into middle tank. Do you know how to fix it?
Help me with this too please! 😢
Any videos on solution not dispensing
Thanks for the video at least I know how to disassemble it. Mine needs the fuse replaced. Any idea where it is?
Thermal fuse? Usually those are in or near the suction motor
Did you find the fuse?
i have googled that and it seems like there is no actual fuse. my motor seems to of gone out.
Bro, thanks so much, the best guidance video ever. One question, what if all that is done, but the brushes don't spin?
could be something jammed inside, or the turbine needs to be replaced.
Your turbine assembly needs replaced they can be found on eBay or Amazon I recommend Amazon these are super easy to tear down
I recently fixed mine using a really small Allen wrench. I found a CZcams video on this problem.
How did you get the nozzle back on?
A flea comb will get everything out the brushes.. But my brushes keep falling off .. I didn't remove the middle one just the 4 and cleaned them. And now when I put them back they fall off like nothing
Nvm I was putting the clear cover back on wrong. But yes I used a flea comb and all brushes are like new. Better to do it when the brushes are dry
Mine just turned off when in use, and when I turn it on I can hear a small noise like it’s on but it’s not running. Is this a motor issue?
Mine stopped and is not making any noise
Hey! You said in the beginning of this video that you would be taking the dirty water recovery tank out and disassemble it for thorough cleaning later in the video. But, you put the whole thing back together and never showed how to disassemble the recovery tank. Do you have a video for that? My tank doesn't look like it's able to come apart so I really want to see how you take yours apart.
My wheels don’t seem to be spinning and I have used it twice only. Do they only spin when you move forward or the entire time?
They only spin when in the recline position. Which is a great feature. On the Bissell 2x they spin all the time, so if you are using the hand tools, you have to put cardboard or something under it, otherwise it will chew through carpet if left in the same spot for too long.
Do you know where is the fuse?
Hi,
For some reason mine won’t turn on and was wondering if you know where the fuse is or if there’s a reset button. I’ve just checked and the volt isn’t the problem, so it’s something with the carpet cleaner
I have the same issue. It worked great last time we used it. I took it apart and have power to the cord and to the starter switch. I believe it has an internal fuse but cannot find it for the life of me.
What is that white thing on the bottom for says open?
I really need help with disassembling the solution tank. I had some solution I poured into a bottle and apparently there was a bit of lemon pulp in the bottom and it's trapped in the back I don't see any way to get in. Help please?
did you figure this out?? I need help with the same thing...
Does the brush holder just pull out or are there screws somewhere to remove them. Also the clear cover in the front that just pops off as well? I am sure I will break mine.
They just pop off
The plastic shaft is broken on mine, I’m hoping they have replacement parts!
I use a stiff 3-row styling comb to clean my bristles-scrub bristles like teeth ($3 for Tool Structure from Sally's).
Why doesn't mine turn on?
Where is the serial number on Hoover Power scrub
I used the same machine to cleaned the carpet and cushions of my car then suddenly, the machines started to smell and whenever I turned the power on it creates that high pitch noise but nothing similar to the normal cycle that it used to be. Anybody knows?
*I think I’ll buy a new one* 🥲
Same mine made a high pitched noise
Just figured out on mine that some mid-length cat hair got past everything and wrapped in the motor braking one of the blades.
Is there a belt on these, i was using and it started smelling like rubber and making noise.
No belt, its all gear driven, in this case its a small air pump. Unless something is jammed in where the brushes are
Nice
needed to see the belt but i guess i will have to update this video
There is no belt.
Mine is smoking. & I can’t get the darn thing to break loose!
I'm ran it twice. Now it won't suck up the water. Any ideas?
Help with this needed too! 😢
What's wrong if the waTer isn't passing through
You had already power washed the plastic front. How to remove?
Under the bottom tank there is a small lever. Flip it over and it unlocks the front funnel. It should just slide out
Anyone want to tell me why mine is smoking🤨🤦🏻♀️
do you still have your fantom fury vacuum or did you sell it
Long been sold
While you had the top and the brush rack off you shoulda opened the brush vacuum motor and put a little 3 in 1 oil in there. When it gets to where the brushes stop turning the brush motor is usually either dry or moisture has gotten in it. Either way if I was that deep into it I would have went ahead and oiled it. Peace
Very true. My unit had a rusted rotating part under there, and there was no torque to turn the brush ass’y. Had to free up and oil the part. Worked great after.
If the water not sprang but it suck up good
🎉 What I really liked is that you show us a lot. Take off this or that screw. Put it all back no problem. But the shampooing was great. Hoover or any other brand probably wouldn't have taken off those spots. Thanks for being honest!
I was looking for where and how to find the belt?
Me too! Did you find the belt?
There isn’t a belt on these machines
I took my scrub brush apart and soaked in vinegar in a bucket and all the hair came out amazing. Just my experience.
Why is my bottom not spinning
What's that white thing you said replace? Time 3:21
May I suggest add an Amazon affiliates link to nylon prybar?
Amazon are slave drivers .
People who work there have to work standing up for hours and only get to use the restroom a couple of times a day so they often have to bring bottles with them so they can urinate. Anyone with a conscience should boycott Amazon. There are so many other places to buy things.
How do you change the belt?
There is no belt on these machines
@@hanksgarage_ I did figure that out after I took it apart!
How do you take off the brushes
Pull off. Literally
@@hanksgarage_ I set my machine on its side and my brushes are barely moving in not sure what's wrong with it
the brushes just pull off as an assembly
@@hanksgarage_ thank you
czcams.com/video/Ky6bIIm8hFs/video.html
Does this have a belt in it
No it’s all gears
Where is the fuse?
pretty sure there is no actual fuse i googled it and got nothing
Water won't suck back up 😢
Wish you would’ve mentioned covering the motor up when you said all the parts were waterproof. Now I think the motor is broken. Thanks
It is water proof. Water won’t hurt the motor.
@@hanksgarage_ Strangely enough then, the carpet cleaner won’t turn on anymore. What do you surmise what the issue is, the thermal fuse?
@@MrHalosucks655 I’ve run electric motors underwater before without issue too. You probably on accident jarred something on reassembly take it apart and check all electrical
@@hanksgarage_ Ended up disassembling and reassembling it again, making sure to clean the turbines and bearings yesterday. Still didn’t turn on until earlier this afternoon, and now it’s working again. Very strange, anyways my apologies for the passive aggressive comment, just vented frustration. Overall good video though.
@@MrHalosucks655 Maybe it was your chord, outlet, or you flipped a circuit breaker without realizing it?
The main thing I needed to see was how to get the brushes to pop out
Really who would reslly take the time to take the whole dam machine apart like this hell people dont even clean their Vacuums !!! They get clogged and dummy's toss them to the curb. I pick them up clean them out bam they work like knew again then I sale them for half price.

I love Harley the cat!!
Will this machine last? Or is it a modern throw away machine.
These will last the longest of any consumer carpet cleaner on the market right now.
It definitely won’t last as long as the Bissell Big Green Clean Machine as that machine is built for tough commercial applications.
It is better made than any other Hoover carpet cleaner though. Much more sturdy tanks.
Commercial units are much better built so no it won’t last that long but as far as consumer end they will last the longest
That’s true. I have a Hoover Max Extract Dual V from 2012 and it works just fine after ten years. I guess the fact that is has an Ametek motor, and that it was Maytag’s design from years before determines a lot. You should swap that el cheapo motor out of your Hoover, and replace it with an Ametek Lamb motor of the same size, volts, amps, and rpms. When it’s time for me to get a new carpet cleaner, I guess I’ll do that.
half a tear down
It’s a full tear down. You’re apparently just ignorant.
Until your little bearing rusts out. HOOVER why are these bearings NOT made of stainless steel. THEY RUST! Hoover you could have prevented all the pain $$$ of repairs. When I went to buy replacement brushes they no longer made them.
I watched looking for the screws that everyone talks about as rusting. Didn't see anything. Is it because this is a newer model, or because it needs further disassembly? Anyone know if you can prematurely replace the screws with stainless steal so you don't run into the problem? Or any tips on maintenance to prevent rust? Like maybe tip it over and blow a fan on the bottom after each use to get it to dry quicker?
No power
Can u help
Dang why do NONE of these videos show how to clean the top compartment🙄🙄 This is so annoying :-(
You don’t know how to rinse out a soap container?
