1997 Hoover Purepower Autosense 1400S U3141

I found it quite hard to replace the belt as the brushroll was stuck with dirt that had built up.

Stair cleaning...

 

[alexhoovers94]

 


 


I did replace the brushroll to the Activator as it's original one had shot brushroll bearings and the bristles were a bit worn too. As you can see this Activator has static edge cleaning brushes unlike the original brushroll that had revolving edge cleaning brushes.

And...

This was the original brushroll, the very early Purepowers must of not had Activator brushrolls.

What happened to the bag full light? I seem to remember that this didn't work on testing?


Are we going to get a video on it? - still waiting for the dual purpose commercial vac video, come on lad, you are slacking - slapped wrist lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

The bag light still doesn't work, I couldn't fix it, I think the bulb has burnt out. I have both videos of the Purepower and Dual Purpose, it will be uploaded tomorrow.

 

[madabouthoovers]

The bulbs in the bag full lights are LED's and they last 1000's of hours - there must be a fault in the bag light circuit - have you tested the bag light sensor for continuity when a vacuum is applied to it? Have you checked the continuity of the wiring loom? have you checked the circuit board for dry solder joints? Alex - I am very surprised that you couldn't fix it - knowing how thorough you normally are with your Hoovers. Have you got a multi-meter to check the continuity of the circuit?

Video

Get your popcorn ready for this inordinately long video!

Alex, Your videos may be long but they don't really seem that long when watching. I always enjoy how explanative you are, plus it's neat for me to see some of the innards of vacuums from other countries, plus how they work, etc.
