Questions and answers
New Power scrub has no suction
The Hoover Power Scrub may have no suction due to the dirty water tank being full or a clog in the system. To fix this, remove the dirty water tank, empty it, and rinse all parts under running water. Also, check the filter screen on the lid for debris and rinse it. Additionally, remove and rinse the nozzle to clear any debris, and clean the brush assembly and underside. Ensure the hose connection port is fully shut and secure the dirty water tank in place.

new unit: brushes do not rotate
The brushes on the Hoover Power Scrub may not rotate due to the following reasons:
1. Rusted Gears – If the brushes do not rotate freely when removed, the air-powered brush motor may have rust inside. Cleaning the rust from the center screws and gears in the motor may restore functionality.
2. Rusted Motor – If cleaning the gears does not help, the motor may need to be replaced.
3. Turbine Assembly Issues – The turbine assembly, which is powered by suction, may not be functioning properly. If the fan inside the turbine is not turning, it can prevent the brushes from rotating.
Checking and addressing these issues can help restore brush rotation.
