  Darren AnthonySep 12, 2025
  If the brushes on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner won’t rotate, it could be due to a blown fuse or tripped breaker, or because the cleaner is in Dry Mode. To fix this, check the fuse or breaker in your home, replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker if necessary. Turn the cleaner OFF, unplug it, wait one minute, plug it back in, and turn it ON again. If the brushes continue to stall, clean them to remove any debris. Also, ensure that the mode selector is switched to Wash Mode for the brushes to rotate.
