Common Problems with Hoover Shampooers
Hoover shampooers can be a great addition to your home if you want cleaner carpets, especially if you have kids or pets. Repairing your Hoover shampooer can be a hassle, however. That is why in this article we are going to break down some of the most common issues with Hoover carpet cleaners and ways that you can repair them. Keep in mind that many of these repairs require electric components, so care should be taken. We recommend taking in your Hoover shampooer to an authorized Hoover repair center, such as the ones we operate in Arvada, Colorado and Boulder, Colorado.
Hoover Motor Replacement
If your Hoover shampooer is loud, doesn’t spray water, or doesn’t pickup water, then the motor may be the culprit. The motor can go bad with age or if you use too much shampoo, leading to water in the motor compartment. Over time, this will dry up and rust the motor. The only way to fix this is to replace the motor assembly.

Hoover Cord Replacement
One of the most common issues with a Hoover shampooer is the cord. Whether your dog chewed through the cord or your kid ran it over, this will help you get your shampooer back to running. It is highly recommended that you replace the cord with the genuine Hoover cord because it already has the clips that you need. You will also need some wire nut and zip ties.

Hoover Turbine Replacement
If you notice that your Hoover shampooer or carpet cleaner doesn’t spray water or the brush roll doesn’t spin, then typically you need to replace your turbine assembly. This is another very common repair need for these shampooers because the turbine is air-driven. This means there is no belt or motor that spins, instead, the motor drives air through the turbine. These turbines also include a screen on the side. When assessing your shampooer it is important to to see if there is any build up. If there is, clean the screen and try testing the machine again. This may fix the problem and allow air flow. If it doesn’t fix the problem, then it’s time to replace your turbine.

Thankfully, this is a fairly simple repair that only takes a few minutes. You just need a Phillips head screwdriver and a replacement reservoir assembly.
