Why my Hoover SmartWash FH52002 Vacuum Cleaner won't turn on?

  Victoria GloverAug 8, 2025
  Your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner might not be turning on due to several reasons: it might not be firmly plugged in, so ensure it is. There might be no voltage in the wall plug, so check the fuse or breaker in your home. A fuse might be blown, or a breaker tripped, so replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Also, make sure the On/Off pedal is depressed, as it needs to be pressed for the vacuum to operate.

How to fix low suction on my Hoover Vacuum Cleaner?

  Low suction in your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner could be due to several factors. Here's what to check: 1. The Dirty Water Tank might be full, triggering an automatic shut-off. Remove and empty it. 2. There might be a blockage in the tool at the end of the hose. Remove the tool and clear any blockages. 3. The Dirty Water Lid might not be correctly attached. Ensure it's securely in place. 4. The Recovery Tank might not be properly secured. Replace the Recovery Tank and secure the latch. 5. A blockage in the hose can also cause low suction. Try dropping a coin through it or clearing it with a broom handle.

  If clean water isn't dispensing from your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner, the Clean Water Tank or Solution Tank might not be firmly in place, so make sure the tank is securely locked. Alternatively, the Clean Water Tank or Solution Tank could be empty, so refill the container according to the cleaning instructions.

Why does my Hoover SmartWash FH52002 Vacuum Cleaner hose nozzle stop spraying liquid?
- D
  David OchoaAug 23, 2025
  If the hose nozzle on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner stops spraying liquid during use, it could be that the Clean Water Tank or Detergent Container is empty, so turn off the cleaner and fill them. It's also possible there's a loose connection to the solution port on the foot of the cleaner, so check for a secure connection.

Why Hoover SmartWash FH52002 Vacuum Cleaner brushes won't rotate?
- C
  Christine ParksAug 28, 2025
  If the brushes on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner aren't rotating during floor cleaning, it could be that the brushroll stall protection has been activated, so turn the unit off and back on, then inspect and clean for jams. Also, the brushes will not rotate when the unit is in the upright position, so step on the handle release to start cleaning.

Why won't the accessory tool spray on my Hoover SmartWash FH52002 Vacuum Cleaner?
- S
  sunderwoodSep 2, 2025
  If the accessory tool on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner won't spray after filling the Clean Water Tank or Solution Tank, it could be that air is trapped in the hose and pump. To resolve this, turn on the cleaner. If the hose still doesn't spray, prime the pump by lowering the hose down to the floor and holding the trigger for up to one minute. Also, aim downward and squeeze the trigger.
