I found this one on eBay, but since parts are getting harder and harder to find, you'd have to either find a parts unit that has a good fan, or wait until a NOS one pops up for sale on eBay.
My vacuum's impeller was very difficult to remove. The impeller does not have an insert with metal threads, it is just threaded plastic. I could turn it, but it didn't unscrew, it just turned in place. I finally had to cut it off. Ugh! But once I got it off, I could see where the bottom side of the impeller had been rubbing on the plastic beneath it. Replacing the impeller solved the problem.

Dang, but luckily the motor casing was not entirely damaged, but that's one of the reasons why I don't like the 7 blade fan, they don't have a metal nut molded into the plastic like the 20 blades do, and it's very upsetting that you can't get 20 blade fans for these anymore.
@@graysonsvacsandmowers5426, yes, the small side of the motor casing, where the impeller had been rubbing, is still serviceable. I did trim off a little tooth of semi-melted plastic that was sticking out. But it is in better shape than the big side of the motor casing. That side had cracked, for no obvious reason. I epoxied it, and also taped it with glass-reinforced strapping tape. It isn't beautiful, but it seems functional. Before I worked on it, the vacuum cleaner worked, but it was *_painfully_* loud. I mean, it was loud enough to require hearing protection. After I put it back together with the new impeller, it sounds and cleans like a new vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, the replacement impeller is a seven-blade, so it's just plastic threads. I got it on eBay for $12, so I can't really complain. It appears to be "new old stock." I hope the problem doesn't happen again. It's a shame that Hoover cheaped-out on the materials. If they'd used an embedded steel nut in the impeller, and good-quality glass-reinforced plastic for the structural plastic parts, the machine would probably last just about forever. I'm missing one of the little plastic "nuts" that retain the front roller wheels on their shafts. It's not a big deal, the wheel seems to mostly stay on anyhow. But do you know where to get one of those?

I love this Hoover
if you changed the impeller on the windtunnel motor will it change the sound?
Where Do I Find the Parts for a Hoover Upright Model # U5093-940 ?
Where do u get that fan on online or is there a fan that's the same from other vacuums I can get online
I actually got this on eBay, you can find them either there or amazon, or if you're lucky, maybe a local vacuum store might have one.
Hey I gotta question where do I find the fan for one
