I just bought a brand new Hoover pro clean pet carpet cleaner. The problem is I took it out of the box and it won't stay standing upright? Is there something that I'm missing here?

Seems like something's either missing to keep it locked into place or something's in the way of it to lock.

Found this comment in the Walmart reviews; might help. <Secondly, getting it to stand up and lock...you have to push down the handle release with your foot, and push the handle as far forward as possible, then let go of the release.

Once you do it a couple times, it gets easier, and you won't have to hold down the handle release with your foot any more to get it locked.>

Your Hoover pro clean pet carpet cleaner must be very sturdy in the upright locked position, without wiggling.
Check again if you assembled it correctly.

The manual says tti.a.bigcontent.io/.../FH51010-manual-v2:

2. HOW TO ASSEMBLE

2.1 Stand base in upright position. Push handle onto base.
2.2 Turn dial counter clockwise to LOCK position. Dial
should stop when locked and handle should feel secure.
2.3 Place clean water tank securely on handle above dirty
water tank until it snaps into place.

Maybe this video about Assembly & Review will help you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCAksTCUR-I

Here someone also had this problem www.amazon.com/.../ref=ask_ql_psf_ql_hza?isAnswered... (Affiliate Link): "When in upright position, does this unit lock securely? Mine wiggles between top and bottom container and with minor push tilts on the ground. Normal?"

Answer: "No, that isn't normal at all. You may want to secure you containers. It should lock and stand securely. Is everything level underneath? Turn it upside down without the containers and do a visual. Other than that there is a manufacturer's contact telephone number on the booklet__you may want to call them. It should not topple over."

It sounds like your latch could be broken and therefore it is hard for you to attach it back on the cleaner. I would suggest that you order a new part to make it easier to put it back together.

It sounds like your latch may be broken but difficult to know unless you know that it 'broke off'.

You might want to be sure that you can install a new latch.
Contact your local Sears Service Center and explain what happened to them and they can tell you if you need a new latch. They also have parts and their parts usually include instructions on installation.

You can also ask questions or order parts on several sites:

It could be a problem with the water base assembly or the filter in the machine. If the filter is not pushed all the way up this can cause the water to leak. Check the pump assembly and make sure the hose is not cracked or leaking. If it is you should order a new one.

This sounds like you have a gasket problem with the tank and the machine. You may need to change out the gasket because they do get old and no longer seal correctly when the tank is put on the machine.

I have a fairly new Hoover rug cleaning machine with two containers. One is for the solution and the other is where the dirty water flows back into. The directions are quite easy and state that both containers click into place. That said, I cleaned my rug in the living room and when I went to get rid of the dirty water, that's when I noticed there wasn't any.

I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't help but wonder if my rug not only has the solution in it, but now the dirty water also? I would appreciate any help or suggestions you may have. Thank you in advance.

I have had this problem often with mine and every time I didn't have it clicked into place. Are you sure you have it on properly? It's really easy to NOT get it clicked into place. Mine is also a Hoover. If that doesn't solve you problem I'd call the manufacturer.

Assure that the lid to the recovery tank is on properly. If the lid is not seated properly, the tank is unable to form the vacuum needed to suction up the dirty water.

When I first got this carpet cleaner it worked fine. The second time I used it, it stopped spraying water! Called Hoover. Brought it to a dealer for repair. However, Hoover sent me a new unit. I moved and did not use my unit until several months. The same problem occured with the replacement unit!!!! I gave up and have not had success in getting the defective unit replaced!!!

I had just fixed the belt on my Hoover carpet cleaner. It had worked perfectly fine with the hose but it wasn't working as a regular carpet cleaner obviously because the belt was broken. I took it apart, put the new belt on and all the sudden now the water completely comes out within a minute onto the floor. I didn't even press the handle or anything, it just came out and it did suck the water back up but there was a long thick plastic piece that I could not find where it would go. I have searched YouTube and could not figure out where this piece would have went.

Can anybody help me figure out how to fix this? I had let somebody use it and all the sudden it's broke and they had put bleach in it so I did clean it out but there must have still been bleach in there so now I have a half bleach carpet.

It sounds like the belt that turns the brushes may have snapped. You may need to replace it.

On one vacuum that I used to own, the belt would slide off. All one needed to do was open the bottom of it, and slide the belt back on. Perhaps this is all that is wrong with yours. If the belt is broken, you will find that out. If it is more than a slipped or broken belt, you likely should take it to a place that repairs this sort of machine.

I got a FH50130 hoover you have to pull the brushs out lower your handle and turn it on. If the shaft the brushs fits into is not turning the bearings are froze up. you have to open the gear box and spray some penetrating oil on them until the gears start turning after that put some grease on the gears and bearing.

I ordered and received a belt for my hover model number FH50950. My problem is replacing it. How or can you recommend someone in the Pontiac Michigan area

 
July 29, 20170 found this helpful

If you turn the cleaner upside down there are little arrows pointing towards the screws you need to remove. They are Star or Philips head screws. Remove ALL of the screws with arrows.
Lift off the cover. You will see the damaged belt in there. Lift off the 2 brush rollers. Put the belt over the 2 brush rollers and replace them where they were. Next, you need to stretch the belt and pull it over the the metal shaft. Pull the belt a little so that the roller turn a bit so you're sure that the belt is on correctly and then replace the cover and all of the screws you removed.
Your cleaner should be ready to go.

I don't know what type of rug cleaner my sister had, but I helped her. The attachment end needed to be "primed." I think I just held my finger along the opening or something like that. It was a couple years ago, so I don't quite remember, but it was in the manual, or probably even on the internet.
