This Dirt Finder vacuum will fit most parts from Hoover Dimension and legacy also.

You may also try evacuumstore.com or vacpartswarehouse.com Vacpartswarehouse follow link to all Hoover uprights then scroll down to find your model number probably U4***

If I could ask, what parts are you seeking. This model would have Type Z bags, typical air freshener tablet from Hoover, or you can also get those from Sears. The brushroll is a 12" dual row Elite style, the headlight is also elite style as the motors are quite similar. The belt is also Elite, it is a flat, stretch non Windtunnel upright belt 38528-040.

I see that your attachment set is complete and you have an attachment door. the hose is probably not permanently attached for this model and therefore would be disconnected from the power head when cleaning carpets.

A lot of times with Hoover model numbers they if you change the last digit you get a similar model but just different color. Ex. Hoover PowerMax Deluxe canister S3607- deep wine model, could also search S3608- bright red model, S3601- tan model, S3606- blue model.

Here's a Hoover Dirtfinder Schematic. Took sometime, a hard model to find. The model number that came up is U5231-930

Try using the zoom function on your Internet browser and see if that helps you see the schematic with parts any better. You might also be able to print the schematic.

Did you try calling Hoover with your model number? Were they helpful.

You might also try taking your vacuum to local vac shops in the area and see if they have any parts laying around or machines laying around that you could get parts off of.

I wish I still lived in Myrtle Beach, SC. There was a local vac repair shop that was very helpful. She had an attic above the shop filled with broken machines and I could go up there find a part that I needed and she'd give it to me at little to no cost.
