Have a Hoover Wind Tunnel Upright (w/bag)***''++, Model #: U6485900++''***
With Brush Roll on/off suction: Hoover part #: 562289001, ask for ***++Flat Belt++***
Here is the problem:
The carpet brush showed all the signs of needing to be replaced. The brush would activate when I lowered the handle, but it would not rotate strong enough when it touched the carpet. When I slide the carpet height lever to 'low' it would spin fine. But when I slid it down a notch or two it would basically stop spinning.
Motor suction is fine.
I replace the belt with the above part# and with another universal belt and both belts have same results.
The roller is still doing the same thing.
Do I have the correct belt # for this model. (I got this # right out of my Hoover manual)
The new belt is the same length as the original one.
It is not a rubber looking belt. It looks more like a plastic belt.
When I replace it the correct way, it is loose feeling.
When I lower the handle, it tighten only very slightly.
In my opinion, not enough to make the roller spin against the carpet though.
Any thoughts on why this is not working still before I have to pay more to bring it to a repair person to try and tell me.??
Thanks in advance,
