Hoover Decade 80 Hot Belt |
[Down to Last] |  |

I bought a freshly rebuilt Decade 80 from a local vac store back in March. Great vacuum. But the belt gets so hot. I snapped one the other day and i can smell rubber burning on the new one already. Am I installing the belt wrong? Thjs js my first Hoover. Always owned Kirbys and Eurekas. I paid $150 for it, so I want to know what's wrong. It has a year warranty on it. I love how powerful it is and the Type A bags are amazing. What could be the issue?

$150 Better have bought Quality! That's likely more than the cleaner cost new-But it is a true HOOVER!
If it was truely rebuilt-Then you must be installing the belt wrong, or even inside-out for all I know. using GENUINE HOOVER parts will always ensure peak performance-The word "HOOVER" should be facing out on a genuine belt. There should be a metal plate on the inside of the belt and air-flow channel. Install the belt so that the lower part of the belt is rested slightly above this.
Hope this helps, and if it doesn't, Make use of that warrenty! | ||

Have it serviced under warranty. The brushroll should spin freely with the belt removed. | ||

Genuine Hoover brushroll wholesales for $24 and is special order through all 3 of my suppliers. The generic replacement wholesales for just under $10, so I'd try to negotiate for a bit off the $20 if you're okay with the CWP replacement. | ||

cwp brushrolls are absolute crap on convertibles. get an actual metal hoover brushroll with beat bar. brush strips are still easy to find for them and the bearings are servicable. cwp brushrolls for convertibles have a bad reputation of overheating motor bearings, esp on the old metal based machines.

Okay this is what my vacuum man told me, the new oem hoover belts are made a bit smaller then years ago with a stronger rubber compound thus it being hard to stretch over the shaft if you can get it over it & once on the roll rush would barely spin & the motor was struggling to turn. He has had many complaints from customers with old machines burning up motors so he started using eureka belts which solved the problem. You might want to try this to see if this fixes it, if not try rebuilding the old brush roll, they will last better then the new plastic ones. Hope this helps. Cheers!! Mark D.
