Hoover Dial a Matic Question.

[lux14]

I have a question about a Hoover Dial a Matic. The machine is not powering on and I think it is due to a stuck brush. The machine has not been powered up for several years. Can anyone tell me how easy it is to dissasemble and check the brushes? I see screws at the bottom of the curved base. I have heard these machines are hard to work on. If anyone has any ideas or short cuts to get to the brushes it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Richard.

I have a copy of the service manual...one moment please!

The best advice to go along with this is to BE PATIENT! It took me a few tries on my first DAM. They are a cakewalk for me now!

Hey Lux14, I probably got the same problem my dial a matic 1149 has too. It doesn’t turn on as well. It was like that when I brought it on eBay back in August. But I hope the instructions help.

Yes it is Andy, Richard! Glad I could help! Best of luck,
