Hoover Steam Vac Wide Path Repair 

Hey Generalone I love your video and I used to have Hoover steamvac widepath just like your video and I got took that one apart to this machine is got lot of learning experience on it

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Used your video to tear mine apart. The lack of brushes rotation was not the vacuum motor. In my case the auxiliary tools wire coiled hose had snapped off right at the connection to the main unit and vacuum was lost to the brushes drive motor.. It is glued in to the fitting so I had to improvise a new connection.

I'd like to know about the solution tank/value seal...is there a spring also needed for the tank and valve area?

Yeah.... At the time this video was made, I didn't have a tripod, and there's no one else to hold the camera for me. The tripod issue has been taken care of in my more recent videos, with the addition of software video stabilization. The software I was using at the time didn't have that.

Thanks a million helped me alot. but if you repaired the hose that would have also helped me , I did manage to repair mine tho

ok so would you take 100 including shipping or what would be a fair price.and would it be cleaned before being sent

Can you show a video of how to replace the valve on the water tank. My valve feel or and I'm not sure how it goes in. I have the deluxe.

I have done this same repair. The hoses get pinche due to the folding of the machine.

Do you still have this one? I have one like that except it has a turbo scrub tool.

how do you work on the pump

I would have to take a look at mine... For some reason, though I think that the valve is part of the tank. You may need a new tank if the valve broke off.

Why won't my machine stay upright for storage? I did find a black piece that came off, but don't know where it came from.

How do you remove the pump?

Did you fix it?

Hey generalOne, I had sent you a message concerning some trouble I was having with my same machine, but I'm not sure you received it or not? It concerned how to install the spring underneath the machine for the handle release. The spring I'm talking about is under that small steel plate fastened with three screws behind the wheel on the handle release side. I'd appreciate your help as I now have a machine that can't be used because I can't get that spring back in!! Thanks

Your video is helpful except it moves around so much it made me have motion sickness. Perhaps next time you could use a tripod or have someone else hold the camera.
