Figured out that this was my problem after watching your video. I agree with you, that plastic is flimsier than my ex. 😂

Thank you so much! I was able to fix mine with nail products. This exact piece soon as I got open was all crumbled like yours. I appreciate the help. I only spent $20 on mine so it was worth it.

6 years on and you’re still helping people. 30min fix and just happened to have all the materials. Bless ya brother 🤘

What if that pe peace is crack 5:30

just use wd40 and call it a day

Thank u so much , i appreciate your effort.

Brand new out of the box, VAX Rapid Power Revive, which I setup and left for a few minutes to answer the door. Came back to find it had flooded the floor with a full tank. On opening I found the culprit to be the same component but it was in perfect condition. The problem was the 4 screws that hold it together had not been tightened. Video helped a lot, thanks.

You are amazing thank you!!!!

Thank you!! Just borrowed this one from my 77 year old grandmother and realized it was broken. My husband and i were able to fix it thanks to your video. She would have ended up spending hundreds on a new one.

Will electric tape do?

I have this problem thanks for your great advice

Just what I needed. Thank so much

6 years later and this video saved me some money and a trip to the store to fix this part. Thank you!!

Thanks a bunch! I just took mine apart, and let a little water run through to see where the leaks coming from and it’s the same faulty part as yours. Nothings broken but like yours it has a HUGE gap! I don’t have any sealant on hand so I’m going to try using a nail primer then a rubber base gel nail polish and cure it under the UV in layers to see if that does the trick for now. Will update later, you can assume it worked i don’t 😂

My attachment stopped spraying any suggestions

Also only got to use thisncleaner a few times when it started leaking water. I'm about to try this fix. Hope it works and i appreciate the video. Thanks.

Same problem here

And if your smart elick kids see you doing this and ask why; tell them because times are rough and we can't waste food; I am making peanufbutter soup! 😊

Exactly where mine leaked. 2 screws were broken

Thank You 🙏 great video. Helped a lot 🎉

Okay... So, if you're planning on reusing the jar and want the rim to stay intact, you *_must_* make certain that there is no foil still attached to the rim. The foil will overheat in the microwave almost instantly and melt the plastic. Also, don't pour that oily crap down your kitchen sink drain. That oil will stick in the drainpipes.

Thank you, great video. Excellent details. Ours is doing the exact same thing😊👍

Thanks for posting this video! I called Hoover customer service and they were no help other than offering a 15 % discount for me to purchase another carper cleaner from them! Checked my carpet cleaner after reviewing your video and low and behold the plastic piece you identified in the video was cracked. Now just waiting for my sealant to cure/dry so I can put back together and test for leaks.

The battery is releasing small amount of sulfuric vapor which accumulates around the battery. It will not attack the metal and paint when dry but when the surface gets wet it turns to a diluted sulfuric acid. Paint don't protect metals from acid attack. To neutralise the acid try dissolving baking soda as much as you can on small amount of water then spray or pour it around the battery. If surface is acidic, you will see a bubbling reaction. You will make a fizzing sound when the surface is very acidic. Instead of using a standard lead acid flooded battery, use EFB battery that looks like AGM battery that has 1 vent hole on the positive and negative side. You can either vent from both side or plugged one side and attach a vent hose on the opposite side then route the hose away from the battery and ground terminal.

worked like a charm thanks I microwaved 40 seconds it did make a steaming release when the lid was put on but it worked!

Great video. I had the same problem and now good to go. Thank you again for your expertise problem solving!

Same problem here first time using it and its leaking from the bottom

I put the weld stuff everywhere and it still leaked. I gave up. It is a very poor design. I hope the newer ones dont have the same design. The part is available on ebay or amazon for around 65 bucks but I am hesitant to spend this if it will happen again,

Just bought a PowerScrub, as a preventative action, I wonder if placing or wrapping a couple of zip ties enveloping the top and opposite side of the pump would have a "clamping effect" on the side part with the screws from cracking (or separating from the body) to begin with and holding the screws in their original holes. Is vibration a factor for the separating of the plastic ?

Thanks, I've never had such a problem with a car before now! I was reading about this and people were saying it might be overcharging the battery, but it seems way to common of a problem.

Thanks

Thats interesting you mention the battery tie down drawing current. I had a battery corrosion and draining issue i did check to see if the tie down was drawing anything and there was no draw from it off or with the car running

Bingo! Thanks to you I resolved my problem. Thank you my friend 👍

Same problem. Cant believe so many people have this issue

Thank you, I cant believe there are over 100k of us with the same exact problem, waiting for epoxy to dry, will see if it leaks tomorrow.

Great job thank you. Off topic and a completely useless question but has anyone ever told you that you sound like Johnny Depp?

Hundred percent worked for me using 5-minute epoxy. Thank you!

Thank you. Same thing happened mine, same post.

Thank you for this tutorial! I have a brand new grandbaby coming over and my Hoover leaked water everywhere! I felt so defeated until I found this video! I appreciate you!!

THANK YOU for this video! I have mine apart for the same problem and was boggled and hesitant to start taking the components and hoses apart. I really appreciate this!

Thanks so much. the exact problem. Unit fixed. Just can't believe that Hoover would not modify this or offer a free repair. I had used my unit 4 times on a couple of light area rugs; unfortunately this was past a year warranty period.

THANK YOU. I'm sitting here taking my own machine apart because it's dumping water everywhere. I was hoping someone had already figured out what the issue was to save myself some trial and error, and sure enough, you had!

Did this today to my waders...time will tell. Lost my felt completely last weekend while trying to chase down a wrangly rainbow on Elk Creek. Not only did i lose the felt, but when I went to grab the fish, I lost it as well.

Hoover carpet cleaners are notorious for leaking. 😡

I need help with upholstery hose, wont spray water. Can you help. Cant find anything on it

I farted 😂and it broke

Same issue here except 2 screws stripped/broken. Epoxy is drying now - thanks!

Same problem, both bottom tabs broke off. Thanks for the fix, appreciate you!

Yea they call that diaphragm the 'reservoir' which isn't aptly named at all, lol. Did the same, replaced it and thought ya, I get to do my upholstery like I planned... fortunately I had it on the tile floor but was mortified when the water still poured out. Guess I'll take the big cover off, this respect is exactly what's going on with mine also.

thx for this. I'm giving it a try. I used some rubber pipe insulation tape I had laying around. It's nice because it is sticky on one side and easily cut to fit.
