Replace a turbine and gear assembly on a hoover F5914-900

ANSWER : Hello,
.
.I’d be happy to walk you through this repair. Unfortunately this is a very common problem with the Hoover SteamVacs.
.
.Here’s what you’ll need to complete this repair:
.- Hoover Turbine Assembly For Model F5866-900 Part # 43191001 or 90001354
.- Phillips Head Screwdriver
.- Flat Head Screwdriver
.
.Step 1. Remove both the clean solution, and the dirty solution tanks from the machine, and press the handle release pedal so that the handle is laying down flat:
.
.
..
.Step 2. With a flat head screwdriver, pry off the rotating brush speed indicator knob:
.
.
..
.Step 3. Unscrew the silver screw that’s at the very top of the see thru suction port where the dirty solution tank rests.
.
.
..
.Step 4. Turn the SteamVac upside down so that the brushes are facing upwards. There are four clips that hold these brushes in place. You’ll need to remove the brushes from the machine by squeezing the four tabs while pulling upwards at the same time. The picture actually only shows the two tabs on the right hand side being squeezed, but the tabs on the left hand side are in the exact same location:
.
.
..
.Step 5. Once you’ve removed the brush block from the machine, there are 4 screws on the bottom that need to be removed. Keep the two silver screws on the very corner in place, you won’t need to remove these. Remove the four screws that I’ve highlighted in red:
.
.
..
.Step 6. Turn the machine back over right side up, so that the brushes are on the bottom. There are two clips that hold the top housing in place. Insert your flat head screwdriver in between the top and lower housing in the rear of the machine close to the rear wheels, and pry upwards to unclip these clips on both the left and right sides, then remove the top motor housing from the machine.
.
.
..
.Step 7. You’ll now have complete access to the turbine. Remove the two silver screws in the front of the unit that hold the turbine in place, as well as remove the front hose from the turbine:
.
.
.
..
.Step 8. Once you have removed the two screws you’ll be able to lift the turbine up. There’s a second hose in the rear of the turbine that you’ll also need to remove before you can remove the turbine completely. After you’ve removed the hose, take the turbine out of the machine. You’ll notice to the immediate left of the turbine other hoses that connect to a black circular part. This is actually the pump that sprays the water on the floor. If you ever have the problem where the clean water solution will not spray, it’s a good possibility that this part needs to be replaced.
.
.Simply install the new turbine, reattached the hoses and two front screws. When you’re putting the top motor housing back on the unit, make sure that the brush speed selector knob that’s on the right side of the turbine fits through the **** in the top motor housing. Also before tighting the two screws that that hold the top housing in in front of the brushes, there’s two clips. You’ll need to snap the top motor housing behind these two clips. Simply push front of the motor housing until you hear it snap into place.
.

ANSWER : On some models there are hook/springs that hold the cover of the base snug.

ANSWER : Tammy, no info re your location, so I”l try this.
Your Hoover hose is shot because it was made of rubber.There are new swivel handled, tangle proof lighter hoses made of vinyl which will last much longer and can be adapted to the old Hoover head by changing the upper steel tube.
Find a Hoover service center, outlet in the yellow pages and ask for the “NEW “style, gray“Plastiflex“ brand hose and upper adapter tube sold with new Hoovers at Costco and you will be all set. Then, when the head eventually dies, you can upgrade to a far better one , while still having the Hoover cannister, the hose and tools do not need to match the original tank.

ANSWER : This the hood or top cover. There some screws on the bottom as well as on the top, then it comes off.

ANSWER : First you must remove the dirty water tank then the nozzle window on top of the machine. (this is the clear piece that the dirty water is sucked through.) then remove all 8 screws from the bottom along with the 1 screw on the main housing. after all this the top housing will be snapped into the base at two spots in the rear of the upper housing. when these are loose the housing should be out. you will find the turbine in the front along with 2 more screws and 2 hoses that also must come off. attach new part and reassemble.
.good luck!!!

ANSWER : Tom, This one is tricky. First get the belt on the geared motor pully, and then insert the roller through it. You will have to roll the brush toward the body of the vac to have enough room. Patience is the best on this model.

ANSWER : Know cut off switch, its just not getting power ? 2 things its ether at the wall plug or in side the unit. I have never found a fuse in side them , so it may be just a lose wire did you try other plugs in the house . good luck DFD

ANSWER : Hi. I have to wonder why anyone would **** up a puddle of water with a dry vacuum cleaner (with no earth lead). I realise that your question may simply be a joke, but if you are serious, I think it is probably fair to assume that it is now dead and probably gone to “Henry Heaven”. Perhaps it would pay you to buy a “Charles” which is a wet & dry version of Henry.
