Troubleshooting

The Hoover S3630/46/55 Vacuum Cleaner has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your Hoover might be giving you.

Cleaner won’t run

The cleaner is not operational. Ensure the cleaner is turned 'ON' at both the cleaner and hand grip. Check if the unit is firmly plugged into a wall outlet and ensure there is voltage in the wall plug. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers.

Cleaner suction low

The cleaner's suction power is insufficient. Make sure the hose power cord is firmly plugged into the receptacle on the cleaner base. Check for a full bag and replace it if necessary. Remove any blockages in the nozzle connector, hose, or wands. Clean the secondary filter if dirty.

Agitator brush roll won’t run

The agitator brush roll is not functioning. Ensure that the floor surface setting is appropriate. If set to 'BARE', change it to 'RUG'. Check for broken or worn belts and replace them as needed. Address any low cleaner suction issues or blockages in the nozzle connector.

Use Genuine HOOVER Parts

To ensure optimal operation, always use genuine HOOVER filter bags and belts. Using non-genuine parts may lead to reduced performance and potential damage.

Regularly Replace Filter Bags

Check and replace the filter bag when the 'CHECK BAG' indicator shows red. Even if the bag is not full, replace it if very fine materials have clogged the bag pores.

Check for Blockages

If suction is low, check for blockages in the nozzle, hose, or tools. Disconnect from power before checking and remove any obstructions found.
