You Sir, are a legend. We were skipping meals to save up for a new Vac when I discovered your video, got the dead vac out, followed your advise and tonight were ordering a Chinese feast for two! You saved us a fortune both financially but also physically! I cannot thank you enough, please share more content!!!

Many thanks. I had given up with this problem until I saw your video. Hoover now working no problem with this fix. The only place on the internet that gives this information. Should be in the manual as a routine service procedure. Hoover keep it a trade secret, good business for the repairmen lol. Keep up the good work.

Star Man Mike! Bloody thing kept cutting out after ten seconds or so, so took it to pieces and saw that the filter thingy ( technical term) was not spinning although the spigot drive thingy was (another technical term). Buggered about for an hour and then got everything ready to take back to Currys when we found the receipt or proof of purchase. Then found you and followed your instructions and Bingo, all was well. You've saved us hours of messing around. Depp and sincere thanks.

Omg I can't believe I almost threw mine away! I'm off to dig it out of the shed and try this. I figured it can't be that both batteries stopped working exactly at the same time, it must be something internal! I just thought to myself that maybe other people had this issue and someone may have made a video about it 😁. Thank you, my good sir, I shall try this and report back. I haven't used the vacuum cleaner for over a year at this point, I really hope it works. It's not the best one out there, but I really miss the darn thing sometimes.

Note : This model is also sold as the H-Free 700 and, from the look of it, this fix will also work for the H-Free 800. The 800 has added some useless WiFi feature but is basically the same (cuz we gotta poop out new models to sell more). I had the starting/stopping problem on my Dyson recently and there it was the outlet filter.

Thanks for this! Do you have any advice for when the motor cover cap keeps coming loose? I’m twisting (left hand) but it won’t tighten properly and comes off when I turn on the hoover
@OLDGMR6 ай бұрын
It's a left handed thread so it's anti clockwise to tighten if it won't go tight put a small amount of superglue on the end of the threads that will stop it coming off
@landerson21296 ай бұрын
Thanks! I am twisting anti-clockwise but it’s coming off when I run the machine, then the whole dust bin is unlocking and it turns off. The bearing is spinning quite happily so not sure what else it could be. I’ll try the glue!

I bought a used Hoover Cruise ultra light cordless vacuum cleaner and it seemed to work pretty well the first two or three times and then suddenly it started cutting out after about 5 or so seconds also. This one doesn't have that bearing that yours does, the filter doesn't spin on this one and there's no motor shaft that extends down into the filtering compartment, it's just bolted to a fan up top. I had to take a plastic protective cover off, 2 screws, to get to the fan/motor bolt and it turns freely so I'm still stuck. I'm wondering if I just need to order new battery cells and rebuild this battery pack or if maybe the thermal switch is not working properly or what exactly. I'm not sure but this model might be an older model than yours, I don't even think you can order them anymore and replacement batteries are hard to find and when you do find one they're around $100.00.
@OLDGMR3 жыл бұрын
the older ones had cooling plates and they would warp over time or extended use you have to use hot glue gun to keep plates apart . not my recomended fix as if it gets to hot it would melt the glue and cause more problems

Iv got a vax cordless slim vax and every time I use it with the roller brush attachment it works for about 15 seconds then cuts out and light flashes red. Iv out a different tool on and it works fine. The brush attachment is the only one that fixes to the power in the stick. Iv already bought one replacement so this is the 2nd one that has gone . Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance x
