Vacuum Not Turning On? Hoover Windtunnel Fuse Replacement, Assembly, Disassembly, Troubleshooting

When your Hoover Windtunnel vacuum won't turn on, the troubleshooting steps in the user manual are limited and don't cover replacing the fuse. I demonstrate how to disassemble, investigate the issue, replace the fuse, and reassemble.
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, replacement fuse, wire cutters, wire strippers, wire crimpers, wire crimps, and electrical tape. A multimeter or ohmmeter is not necessary but very helpful for troubleshooting.

My vacuum is probably as old as yours- maybe older. But it has been the best vacuum I have owned- and super convenient with it being bagless. Despite losing some attachments over the years that I could probably find some generic replacements for- it has tugged along fine for well over 10 years. The suction is AMAZING. I used to own an extremely heavy and extremely expensive hoover that they used to sell via door to door salesman. This one was a fraction of the cost and much much better! So when I didn't notice it clog up on me and it stopped working half way through my vacuuming... I thought it was done for good. I waited an hour for it to cool down- cleaned it out- and hoped it was just an overheating issue. But nope. I tried turning it on and... nothing. Then I found your video. I didn't know it had a fuse! So I will be ordering the correct replacement and fingers crossed... Let's hope it works!

@@vapinggaming awesome! I might suggest to open it up first and see if the fuse has similar burn marks as mine had. If you have a multimeter you can check everything out fairly easy too. Any questions let me know!

Thanks for posting this. My 1 year old windtunnel shut down right in the middle of miller moth season. I'll check for this fuse and if the problem replace it with a more suitable fuse holder.

Hope it works out for you. I assume the design might not change much between models and years.
