Q: Fixing the belt on the hover smartwash+ fh52000 (12 answers)
A: Hoover doesn't sell a replacement belt for this device. When your belt is broken, you are instructed to ship the device back to them and to get a replacement if under warranty. Words can not explain how moronic this is. This is as stupid as you replacing your vehicle when the brakes or tires need replacing.- A: Just had this issue with my Hoover SmartWash Plus, today. I removed the clean water tank and turned on the 'dry only' setting. Then, I relaxed the handle about 180 degrees as I made each pass and the suction/dry function worked again perfectly. It appears that the handle triggers the suction and if the handle is in a more upright position, the suction will not engage.
- A: Because it is junk! I have been through 4 of them and they keep on breaking!
- A: I haved used the "stair" attachment for spot cleaning, and it works just as well as the machine, just in a smaller area. I was happy with the hose length as well, but it may not extend all the way up the stairs, so the machine may need to be moved up/down the stairs behind you once you get past the halfway point.
- A: Hey Zoe, Thank you for your question! The Hoover - SmartWash + Upright Deep Cleaner should work for your setup. SmartWash has FlexForce™ PowerBrushes that gently remove deep dirt, debris and pet messes from carpets and is good for short pile carpets, while it still gets deep into long pile carpets. However, long pile shag carpet can get matted down and twisted by the brushes of any carpet cleaner, so we don't recommend it for shag on a general basis. If this happens you may need an alternate method to clean your carpet such as a steam cleaner without revolving brushes. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
Q: i need to replace the brush drive belt. where can i find a replacement? (3 answers)
A: Hoover will not sell them to you. Not sure why. Replacement parts companies don't have them either. BUT- Thank God for Amazon. If you have the FH52000 series ( mine is FH52002 meaning it came from Home Depot) the belts are available on Amazon. The longer belt is 3M-360-6, sometimes listed as 360-3M-6. These numbers refer to the size of the belt in METRIC form. The smaller belt is 3M-144-6 ( or 144-3M-6). The 3M refers to the pitch ,or angle of the cogs. The 360 or 144 refer to the length ( circumference) in mm. The 6 is the belt width in mm. Good luck.Q: Do the rollers/brushes come off so you can clean them (5 answers)
A: How to Change and Clean Brushes: HOW TO REMOVE To prevent possible leaking, remove Clean Water Tank, Dirty Water Tank and Solution Tank. With the handle in upright position, follow “Nozzle: How to Remove and Clean “instructions. Grab Side A and pull up to remove. Repeat on the other brush. The brushes can be cleaned under running water. HOW TO REPLACE At an angle, align side B on the brush to the drive gear. Press Tab A down until brush snaps in place. Here's the manual for a visual guide reference page 16, https://tti.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/FH52000_SmartWash_GL_Manual- A: The suds are likely due to the warm water you are using with your machine, or due to the HeatForce feature which is drying the carpet. The white film is created by the warm water being pushed by air through the carpet and up to the surface while cleaning, making it foam. The suds will not damage your carpet and the white film will go away as your carpet dries. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
