    At the start of the video you rebuild the hand-brush. I did exactly the same to mine, as mine stopped spinning within the first 3 uses when purchased. Did yours work properly? Hoover didn’t really care when we called them. Our hand-brush is now useless. Thanks. 🇨🇦

    What did you do with the Hepa filter??? I didn't see you clean it. Just took it out to see it was black and thats it. I have this exact model, the UH71230. I'm in Canada and I can't seem to find any for sale because its discontinued. However the filters should still be available separately. The housing unit for them is fine, its just the filter is dirty but I can't find only that filter.
    Any suggestions??

      All vacs of this type run warm/hot in certain places. Without actual temp readings, there's no way to tell if your machine is normal or not.

    hi VacLab, are the motors in these hoovers worth servicing? Im noticing the suciton isn't as strong as i remember. I maintain regularly with filter cleanings, full tear down and wash, including hose. I once reseated the motor rubber seal and it pepped it up. To this point ive just made sure things weren't rusted or bound up. Do i bust open the motor housing and clean the motor blades, any bushings or bearings to lubricate?

    I’m not sure if the hot glue will last long. I think maybe some large diameter heat shrink tube would work. I’m gonna guess from the video that is a 2 inch diameter hose, and I know for a fact you can get heat shrink tube that large, I’ve used it for a short term repair on a sprinkler line.

    • @VacLab
      @VacLab  4 роки тому +3

      In this case, hot glue will be a nearly perfect permanent solution. On the outside, I created a large "anchor" blob that will resist being sucked inward.

      Is the motor getting super hot? If it is the thermal protection circuit might be shutting it off. You'll know if it's tripping the circuit because in about 40 mins after cooling a bit, you can once again use it.
