Why won't my Hoover SMARTWASH+ Vacuum Cleaner turn on?
- T
  Tami GonzalezAug 13, 2025
  Your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner might not be running due to several reasons: it might not be firmly plugged in, so ensure it is. There may be no voltage in the wall plug, so check the fuse or breaker in your home. A fuse might be blown or the breaker tripped, so replace the fuse or reset the breaker. The fuse in the cleaner itself might be blown, in which case you should take it to a service center. Finally, the On/Off pedal may not be depressed, so ensure you press it properly.

What to do if my Hoover SMARTWASH+ has low suction?
- S
  Shawn KaneAug 16, 2025
  Low suction in your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner can be caused by several factors. The Dirty Water Tank might be full, triggering an automatic shut-off; empty it. There could be a blockage in the tool on the end of the hose; remove the tool and clear any blockages. Ensure the Dirty Water Lid is securely in place. The Dirty Water Tank Debris Filter could be clogged. Also, check for blockages in the Nozzle. Make sure the Dirty Water Tank is properly secured and that the Dirty Water Nozzle is correctly attached. Finally, a blockage in the hose itself could be the culprit; try dropping a coin through or clearing it with a broom handle.

  If your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner's hose nozzle stops spraying liquid, the Clean Water Tank or Detergent Container may be empty; turn off the cleaner and refill them. Also, check for a loose connection to the solution port on the foot of the cleaner and ensure it's securely connected to the body.

  Water leaking from your Hoover Carpet Cleaner can be due to a few reasons. The Clean Water Tank, Solution Tank, or Dirty Water Tank may not be firmly in place; ensure each tank is secure. Also, the carpet cleaner may drip residual moisture after use; allow the cleaner and brushes to dry before storing it.

Why won’t the brushes rotate during floor cleaning with my Hoover Vacuum Cleaner?
- S
  Shelby CastilloAug 31, 2025
  If the brushes on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner won’t rotate during floor cleaning, the brush roll stall protection may have activated; turn the unit off and back on, then inspect and clean for jams. Also, brushes will not rotate when the unit is in the upright position; step on the handle release to start cleaning.

How to fix accessory tool that will not spray after filling the Clean Water Tank or Solution Tank on my Hoover Vacuum Cleaner?
- A
  april30Sep 4, 2025
  If the accessory tool on your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner won't spray after filling the tanks, air might be trapped in the hose and pump. Turn on the cleaner. If the hose still doesn't spray, prime the pump by lowering the hose down to the floor and hold the trigger for up to one minute.
