- If your Henry Hoover has stopped working and won’t turn on, the biggest obstacle is knowing why it has happened.
In this video I drum through the 5 causes of power loss on any Henry model.
This will allow you to find the issue and take steps to get your Henry hoover working again.
Please feel free to ask any questions using the comments section.

Thanks for the video it was the bushes. they were all gummed up, a quick clean and all good 👍
Great news and thank you for commenting. I love knowing that I’ve at least helped someone
This is a great video, I'm glad I found it. As luck would have it I managed to point the fault to the PCB straight away as I could follow power into the vacuum. I removed the PCB and wired the motor wires directly to the switch - hey presto it worked.
It's disappointing to find this PCB in the vacuum, a delicate part that sellers are demanding £30 just for the PCB. There is no need for it to be included in the design of the vacuum, a poor engineering decision.
I can see why a lot of these end up being thrown away which is not good for the environment, cost etc.
Thanks again and I hope a lot of people use this to keep their Henry going.
Thank you Gary for your feedback and makes my day when the video saves another. Totally agree with them not needing to exist. If ever you want to you can also replace the li low switch with the LED

Great video! And thank you for the shout out
Followed your tips, took the wires of the connectors on the on off switch and high and low, cleaned them with wet and dry sandpaper, put the Hoover back together.
Switched on and shocked that I now have it up and running again.
Thank you so much for putting life back into my Henry.
Great news Brian and thank you for sharing. Another one saved 😊😊😊
Always here if you need any help in the future too

I am a starting my own vacuum channel i am a fan and subscribing will help for 2 months i fan❤❤❤
Thank you. I’ve subscribed 😊 good luck with the new channel
Tyyy
Thank u
Thank you! The cleaning the switch video worked a treat!
Great news and happy to have helped save another 😊 thank you so much for commenting to let me know

Thank you . Good video mine wasn’t working I bypassed the hi lo switch like you showed and it worked it is a little transistor on the pcb board gone bad thanks again keep up the good videos
Sorry I think I missed your comment. Great news! Thank you for sharing your success
Geat video love it keep up outstanding work and videos please yes you help me out
Thank you Carl. Trying to make extra effort and find videos to do
This video really helped! We worked out it was the broken contacts. Got new contacts and new cable ( just in case) via Henry Bags. Thanks so much. Saved us a few £££££😊
Thank you Mary ❤️❤️❤️
Low pressure on hoses
Same.
1) old n worn out
2 ) change filter
3) hose leak at joint
4) where to start
If you have low suction.
1. Change filter (or at least bang any dust out)
2. New bag.
3. Check for blockages by adding hose, then pipes, then tool… to see where the suction drops.
4. If you have air leak on hose at the joint, get the tightened up. See hose video here

ive got red light flashing but wont switch on u mentioned it once but didn't mention it again I have the one with power boost redswitch
Hi if you have the one with power boost switch the led isn’t too important. You clearly have power going to it from somewhere so I would use this video to check
1. Switch… just to rule out.
2. Carbon brushes (this wouldn’t have been a sudden swathe it would have been a lot of motor farting and smelling)
3. PCB (circuit board) … by far the most common part to cause issues on your model) skip to around 7mins on the video and try bypassing the whole thing as shown)
Jonny
Hey bro, thank you for the video. I have a henry hoover with burning smell and it tripped all my socket everytime I switched it on. It was my sister used it to hoover wet carpet and caused this problem. Please want should I do?😔
Hi. Ok so the motor is going to be where the issue is. Have a look at the motor and check that it is totally dry, and that the spinning part that the carbon brushes come into contact with looks ok.
Sadly it probably won’t be ok if water has got in there. Any water usually causes damage to the motor and this in turn has probably damaged the carbon brushes (your burning smell)
The tripping of the socket means neutral and live are connecting in the motor before they should be… this usually means it’s still wet in there… or it’s really damaged.
It’s likely to be a change of motor that you need.
Open it up and let me know what you find if you need more guidance.

I got issue with henrymicro model. Everything is ok, power is on, switch working, motor also working but ut doesn’t take any dust from floor. Their is low air pressure on hoses and more on the outlet of motor. How can I fix this?
Thank you
Hi
Ok new filter and new bag will sort this if there are no blockages in the hose.
Jonny
I bought new bag and filter but still problem with air pressure on hoses. Hoses is clear nothing blocked there
@@amardipthapa7857 when does the suction reduce, when you add the hose on or the metal pipe? No hissing noises from joins?
Must be a leak or a blockage there is no other reason
Hi i have a henry which has the high and low speed working great yesterday plugged it in today and nothing not even the light comes on,no burning smell no horrible noises just dead tried the plugs fuse but still nothing,any advice would be great👍
Hi
Happy to help. Here is what to do with yours (by the sound of it)
Pressuring you have no multimeter, do these steps….
1. Take his cover off and check the rewind contacts underneath his cable part. If they are ok. (2 minutes into this video)
2. Clean switch contacts (video on my channel called “free henry switch repair”)
3. Do a bypass of the circuit board. (See 7 minute into this video and follow instructions)
The 3 above are the most likely cause from what you have said. Let me know how you get on
Jonny
Hi I have the older model with the hi low. Switched it on an heard a small pop from where the switch is an little puff of smoke 💨 I’m still getting power as it lights up any ideas what it could be
Hi
Ok so if still getting power it’s going to be anything from the switch and after.
On the video work through the steps.
I would guess that it’s going to be the PCB (circuit board) but just check the switch and other parts in there.
Too tip… if the circuit board pops it usually smells so follow your nose when you get inside
Let me know how you get on or if still struggle
Jonny
@@HenryBags I bypassed the the circuit board and works a treat thanks 🙏 so much I’m going to order the light
@@alvinorr5930 great news and thank you for letting me know. I have the switch on my site with the connectors needed

@@HenryBags perfect I’ll get one ordered
halo bro i have a Henry hoover
model HVR 200a
is not working
i check power cable ok switch ok
i don’t know what to do
thanks plese let me know
Hi
It’s likely to be the circuit board inside. Skip to 7 minutes in on the video and carefully try what I show you with wiring the motor to the switch. This will confirm that it’s the circuit board.
Hi my henery stopped working but his red light on please explain me what problem is in
If you have model with LED and it’s on then the issue is the switch 90% of the time.
Check this video to fix for free…

If you have no look let me know and share as much info as you can.
Hi there,
I have tried all the 5 steps and all had continuity so not sure if there is anything else I can try ? I have a hetty 160 hoover
On yours if led I on when plugged in the issue is likely to be the switch. Try cleaning. If you have done this the issue will be with the motor itself. If the carbon brushes are ok may be the thermal cut out in the motor has failed…. Only really happens on these newer 620w models
Do let me know how you get on
@@HenryBags I did actually put it all back together and it worked haha I just assumed it wouldn’t because I did all the checks and everything was ok , the only other thing I did was around the top of the motor where the copper prongs touch the top of mother they had grease on them and also the round copper part had grease on so I wiped off the grease where these two would make contact . Should I have done this ?
@@MrRazzledazzle1 ok interesting. I guess the contacts probably had too much in then and cleaning them up has sorted it.
You have done nothing wrong at all. If it works, it works. I think sometimes there is abit too much grease on some of them.
@@HenryBags ok that’s great and thanks for the vid ,I do have 2 other Henry’s that don’t work so I will get started on those thanks
Please reply to back thank
