Hoover Elite problem please help

[kirbyds80]

Hello to all,
I own a green colored Hoover Elite that hasn't turned on for months. I don't know what the problem. I fixed it once then it stopped working. Much help would be appreciated.

That's a pretty vague description, but I'd speculate either your power cord or switch is faulty if absolutely nothing happens when you flip the switch. Time to get out your voltmeter and start checking for voltage!

Otherwise, turn it on, and let us know if you smell or hear anything at all.

Hi Jayson - what did you do to fix it the first time? The problem could be a number of things - a loose connection, a break in the cord, a defective switch, worn motor brushes...

The switch is hard to push up

Yes it is very hard to push up. I actually took out the handle and put it back in and it ran.
