I have a 1 year old Hoover carpet cleaner . I went to use it today and it won't start. Everything seams to be in the right position. can't figure it out..

Assuming the motor and blower (that creates the suction) are working the most likely reason is a loose cover (lid) on the recovery tank. Also, check the seam where the lid meets the tank and clean any debris that might prevent a good seal. Be sure the small, black gasket in the lid is intact with no tears or gaps.

Put water in one side (just pick one), if it doesn't spray on the carpet it is the other tank you need to fill with cleaner.

Its ben two years since we had the carpet in the sunroom steamcleaned. It pains me to pay someone else to ...

There are no belts lol. Its a carpet shampooer

did you check to see if the belt came off or its stretched?

(1) Remove the brush block and assure the presence of the square drive pin on top of one brush. It should be about 1/4 inch square, two inches long to connect o the drive mechanism.

(2) Remove and clean the filter screen from the base, behind the brushes. Squeeze the two red tabs together, and pull down from the base. Clean the hiar/debris from the screen.

(3) Assure the Brush Speed knob on the hood is NOT set to the OFF position.

God Bless Your Mom.

Hope this was helpfull to you. Sawdust46

Is the overfill valve (the yellow thing) in the waste container stuck in the up/full position? Maybe it just needs to be rinses well to avoid it being stuck and shutting off the vacuum portion of the cleaner.

OKay! I've figured it out! After making sure I had the cleaning solution container connected properly, the "lint filter" thingy clear, the attachment plug thingy unplugged, the filter in it's proper position, (about a cm down from the seal), and the seal on the filter was all good, etc etc etc, the brushes in properly...I was about to drive over this steam cleaner with my car!

After taking a break and going back to it, I discovered that I didn't have the lid to my dirty water tank (or air tank, as I was starting to call it) properly closed. There are two lips that you have to make sure the lid "hinges" from, and THEN snap the lid shut. This made a seal that allowed this steam cleaner to **** up all kinds of gooey gunk from my carpets! The brushes work, the suction works, it's a FABULOUS machine! It doesn't get any louder when it's sucking up water, either.

All this AND I had the instructions! Go figure!
