Thanks so much for this Monroe! I'm manic cleaning at 11pm at night...the carpet is wet but hasnt been sucked back up now for the same reason everyone else here is for. Its a shame because I really loved it for the year I had it!
Had my Hoover since July 2020 the motor got wet I forgot it outside on my porch and it rained anyway water got in my motor and I had to take it apart to let it dry out. Appreciate the help and instructions! Made it easier for me
I've NEVER EVER posted a reply etc online. But I MUST say your diy/fix videos ARE THE BEST!! You don't ramble on. Get right to it (big picture) and then speed the video viewing... so smart! That was I can go and look at WHAT I want to without shuffling thru every second. On that note..I have same issues as folks below. But for what it costs...just gonna get a new cleaner. ANY recommendations? Ha! But I do like to tinker and see if I can fix things so I appreciate to no-nonsense video and comments. Good Job. (aka my first you tube review💪
Awesome review 😊 and thank you. As for cleaners, I would stay away from the mini cleaners- Proheat Revolution is a good buy- Hoover Smart wash is similar. Start your research there. Thanks again
YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IV EVER POSTED A COMMENT. YOUR VIDEOS ARE EXCELLENT AND RIGHT TO THE POINT. I HAD THIS POWER BUTTON ISSUE SO I THOUGHT JUST BYPASS THAT SWITCH AND JUST INSTALL A TOOGLE SWITCH CAUSE THE DESIGN ON THAT POWER BUTTON IS A BIT FLAWED AND NOTICED NON CONSISTANT PERFORMANCE OF THE FOOT SWITCH OTHERWISH THIS SMALL CARPET CLEANER IS THE BEST IV EVER USED ITS CLEANED EVEN THE SPOTS THAT I THOUGHT WERE PERMANENT SO IM GOING MODIFY THAT POWER SWITCH AND THAT SHOULD FIX THAT PARTICULAR DESIGN FLAW.
Well friend, my motor is seized up. I'm going to try to break it loose and get it going again but odds are its a goner. They don't sell these motors (I believe you said) so I'll just scrap it. Thanks for sharing!
There were some changes made to these at some point. I've watched several videos on taking them apart and some models have Torx screws while some like mine have all Philips screws. Some have wheels that just snap in. Mine are held in by a metal C clip. Hope mine just has a bad switch. These are great for cleaning throw rugs and car mats. My main machine-Hoover Elite, has too much suction for small jobs.
Idk might be something with the foot switch if I push it with my foot like normal nothing happens but if I stab it with a screwdriver it comes on same thing turning it off a quick stab
Just curious, mine seems to have a power surge issue. I replaced the belt thinking it was that. Plugged it in and it turns on then makes this rev type noise where it goes loud then low and so on and so forth. Motor issue?
I know on the newer models there is a latch on the back of the tank that lets you clean it, but do you know if there is any way whatsoever to get in to the tank on this model. Both me and my fur baby have long thick hair and no matter how much a vacuum before I clean the bedroom carpet the tank ends up with hair getting in the tank and no matter how many directions I manage to try and spray it there is one thin line around the top of the tank that I just can't reach. Is there ANY WAY whatsoever to open the tank to give it a proper cleaning?
My carpet cleaner won't turn on again. This is the sixth one I purchased, and they all have the same problem. When you step on the orange foot pedal switch, the unit will not start. It usually will start on and off before it completely dies. It is a defect when they made them!
I took mine a apart. Turned on the switch, which still works fine. I don't use that stupid on/off petal assembly. It's a terrible design. I just plug the unit into a power strip and use that switch to turn it on and off.
i have a Hoover Floormate deluxe and it just stopped working for no reason Ive only used it about 5-6 times with no issues. The other day i tried to clean my floors and filled up the tank and attached it and it started for a few seconds and shut off. Will not start after that
Possibly motor. Still cant rule out the power switch- if you notice the motor is positioned above the dirty water tank with a filter in between- Often times water would find its way to the motor and there goes the machine-
You have that right crap,he should be telling everyone cut there losses or sue Hoover. Everything is just a piece of crap. I am pulling all my carpet and putting down title.never will buy another a mop is cheaper. Brand new and only used it twice.
How about a fuse.....mine stopped as well ,purchased it used it stopped right away. Actually 2 😮same thing happen in a row on both brand new Hoover Carpet cleaners😮😢
The wheel shaft is designed like a Sheetrock tap in stud for screws. It expands at the end in order to secure the wheel. Just squeeze the tip and force it out
The fuse is a possibility. Good Idea to tart there. I found a motor online. Please check out this video on replacing the motor Replace Hoover Powerdash Motor ua-cam.com/video/a7Otj4p1Nxg/v-deo.html
Could be. But first try running it without the belt and brush engages. Remove the belt and turn the unit on. This was you can isolate the noise by removing a moving part. Then you’ll know for sure
Well, I watched your video and now I have my Powerdash in parts all over my living room. 😄
😂😂😂

You're welcome
I removed all of the visible screws and was stumped. Thanks for the detailed disassembly instructions. Turned out to be the motor. Thanks again!
You’re welcome- be sure to subscribe. Thanks for supporting the channel
How do you fix it??
Replacing the motor is the solution right now- finding a motor is the challenge- still searching

@@monroevaccan you please do video less music because it’s so fast and my belt broke how do I put new one?
I did subscribe
I’m having issue taking wheels off.
@yosef2979 I believe you should be able to slow the speed down in your browser- give that a try
Thank you so much !!! for the video, was going to buy a new one but you saved me that money.
My pleasure
2 nd time using it and I got no power And leaking solution everywhere… it worked great the first time I used it 2 months ago
I recommend contacting Hoover- if you still have your receipt they will honor the warranty
I’m gonna buy a new one and put the old one in the new box and return it.
Thank you
@williampeters7544 you’re welcome
For real, the amount I spent on mine for it to crap out and only turn on when it feels like it is ridiculous.
Man this thing is a waste of money. I'm pissed. Only used it once
I purchased 2 band new Hoover shampooer and both went out after one Time use

Thank you- check in again and let me know if it worked out. Wish you the best
are you able to take the dirty water tank apart to clean?
The power button on mine seems messed up. Lol! I would sometimes press it and it wouldn't click. Now it won't turn it on at all.
Mine too? Did you figure it out?
@@ifyouseesomethingsaysomething Nah but I haven't really gotten around to messing with it.
@@ifyouseesomethingsaysomethingas long polo or low 9 mi I'll q

Great observation Mike. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Your channel has a lot of good information. Thanks.
Thank you Doug. Hey, please subscribe and tune in for more😊
You got me with this tank I noticed that max line while I was checking it out mine isn't coming on I was just using it
Probably the motor. I found a motor online and made a video on how to change it. I am currently in the middle of editing it. Stay tuned

@JamesJohnson-gl8zk im working on a video that will cover possible causes for power switch mishap
I’ve got three of these and they all just stop running
Wow 😮

Hmmm good question. I’ll look into it- I’ll check my stock room to see if I still have a tank to review it for you. Stay posted

Same here

i have a Hoover Floormate deluxe and it just stopped working for no reason
Ive only used it about 5-6 times with no issues.

Mine broke my second time using it. Noise and burning smell. Total running life time for this piece of cr@p is about 2 hours...
You have that right crap,he should be telling everyone cut there losses or sue Hoover. Everything is just a piece of crap. I am pulling all my carpet and putting down title.never will buy another a mop is cheaper. Brand new and only used it twice.
Same here broke on 2nd time using it… burnt smell and black marks on carpet
How about a fuse.....mine stopped as well ,purchased it used it stopped right away.
Actually 2 😮same thing happen in a row on both brand new Hoover Carpet cleaners😮😢
I wish you lived in Joshua Tree! My Power Dash Pet won't turn on. Not the motor. The switch. Way too many screws, but I'm gonna try.
Good luck! First see all my videos on the power dash. They should be able to walk you through
ua-cam.com/video/gzaXxulwGmY/v-deo.html
What did you push to get off the wheel?
The wheel shaft is designed like a Sheetrock tap in stud for screws. It expands at the end in order to secure the wheel. Just squeeze the tip and force it out
Good video to disassemble the machine but very poor on troubleshooting the motor. Instead of music, why don't you explain what you are doing?
Fair critique take a look at this new video.ua-cam.com/video/Hb54hQwSoUI/v-deo.html
Will the belt being broken cause it to not turn on at all?
No.... No power typically hints to switch, cord or motor
I was shampooing the carpets last night and it quit?! Wth lol
Oh wow wish these were better made
Mine is making a burning smell, so that's why I'm on here to figure out how to fix it myself. Any suggestions?
It’s a motor issue - still haven’t found a replacement motor
I just used mines and the water ran right out of it soon as I cut it on could u help me figure out what’s the issue is
it could be the trigger or the auto receiver. I'll have to inspect this unit again to get to the bottom of it. I don't have one in the shop right.now
Sadly, many of these vacuum motors are unobtainable.
So far I've delt with two of them that have stopped working
Yeah they need change the motor or something. Consistent problem
Mine leaks, once I put the water reservoir on water/ solution flows without me pulling the handle! HELP!
I’ll post a video covering this issue in a few days
The problem might be in the reservoir that collects the water or in the tubing. One of the tubing might be split.
Hey I know him! Lol
Hi 👋
On both of mine the Motor stopped after only one time use😢😮
The fuse is a possibility. Good Idea to tart there. I found a motor online. Please check out this video on replacing the motor Replace Hoover Powerdash Motor
ua-cam.com/video/a7Otj4p1Nxg/v-deo.html
Worked for 1 tank & died.
Very disappointed & won't recommend on any level
Thank you for the video, excellent
Mine started leaking cleaner solution uses solution really fast. Makes loud noise and completely stopped.Mp power at all.
What to do?
Mine won’t suction 😢
Check the tank make sure it’s sealed properly- seedy Bissell tips play like. Even though you have a Hoover the tips about suction will help you
My red on button doesn’t work. I leave it and just unplug it to turn it off.
Currently working on a video that will cover that issue. Stay tuned

I have no idea what's wrong with mine. It's making a loud noise and smells like burnt rubber and left black marks on carpet. Could it be the motor?
Could be. But first try running it without the belt and brush engages. Remove the belt and turn the unit on. This was you can isolate the noise by removing a moving part. Then you’ll know for sure
@@monroevac thank you I will try that
@@monroevac I removed and it still making noise
Mines just did the same thing today loud noise and rubber smell smh
Then it’s the motor
Book says it has a fuse in it???
I didn’t see one- I don’t have one in the shop right now in order to double check-
@@monroevac thx. Just gonna trash it then.
I've never even used mine.
Piece of crap wont start. Didn't even get to use it once!!
Honestly, if you have your receipt, I will call Hoover and try to get either replaced or serviced
