I used my new Hoover Steam Vac for the first time today. Not only was it not suctioning, it didn't even draw in the cleaning solution from the separate tank. To make matters worse, it didn't heat the carpet to speed up the drying process like it is supposed to. So now all I have is a wet, cold dirty carpet.
A lot of people don’t know this, but that trigger that you were priming doesn’t actually go to a pump, these machines use a gravity fed method for cleaning the carpets, but the upholstery hose uses a pump… I’ve been a vacuum repair tech for a long time and I have torn apart hundreds of these… and if at all, you are confused, let me know, and I will do a little short video showing it
Hello, no I am not confused. For Whatever the reason, pulling the trigger or "priming the pump" works! The manual says 'prime the pump" if it stops working but they do not tell you how. Maybe pulling the trigger get the air out?
@Ajoyfultraveler Yessss!!!!! Big thanks from Wichita Kansas 🎉 It did totally work for me too. Much appreciated sooo thankful, for your youtube tutorial. I was sick thinking I'd have to scrap my steamvac,but NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SCRAP IT.❤
@@Ajoyfultraveleroh I just want to add that I had pulled your video up again to show my friend because my steam cleaner needed time to get and I was showing him how to do it by your video thanks again
Young lady,thank you very much,I cleaned and then tried your remedy now it works after sitting in a corner of the basement for 9 years.
