I have a question about a Hoover Dial a Matic. The machine is not powering on and I think it is due to a stuck brush. The machine has not been powered up for several years. Can anyone tell me how easy it is to dissasemble and check the brushes? I see screws at the bottom of the curved base. I have heard these machines are hard to work on. If anyone has any ideas or short cuts to get to the brushes it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Richard.

Hey Lux14, I probably got the same problem my dial a matic 1149 has too. It doesn’t turn on as well. It was like that when I brought it on eBay back in August. But I hope the instructions help.

I also read on this sight that you can tap the bottom motor area ever so lightly with a rubber hammer and that may loosen the stuck brush. Anyone else ever tried this. I know it's a long shot and not sure the problem will come back again in the future but feel it is worh a shot.

Hi Andy. I see the service manual is no longer on this thread. Can you repost? Just getting around to my DAM.

Happy New Year! Hope all is well!

Richard.
