Can anybody help, I recently purcased a Hoover 612, stripped it to clean it but didn't make a proper note of the wiring. Since its now finished i need to wire the motor properly so I can use it.

Wiring Diagrams from the other side of the Pond

To the extent that a 612 is similar to a 61, I hope these are a help.

Do we know you by any chance from another site? LOL

Cant beat a Hotpoint Washer and a Hoover cleaner to keep that house ship shape.

Thought I had a picture of our 612 that a good friend of ours helped us to restore, soon as I get the sewing machine set back up I will whip up a new bag for it and it will look again like new.

@marukap

Does this wiring diagram work for older Hoovers? This switch looks like my 543 model which had the inner wire pulled from the switch and I am not sure where to connect it.

A pic would help, the 543 had two totally different kinds of switches.

Here are some photos.

As you can see the handle wire that is still connected to the switch goes to the right side of the pin where it was ripped from but I’m not sure where the handle wire from the left side of the pin connects to on the switch.

Oh gotcha.

The brass screws hold one white wire each. The steel screw holds both black wires, since they are not affected by the switch. Just a way to make rewiring easier - no soldering.

Thanks! I’ll try purchasing a cord today and giving it a try…hopefully in don’t blow anything up 😬

Update

So the cord is a work in progress but I decided to open up and motor housing and it looks like a lot of carbon dust…any tips on how to clean it?

My initial reaction was to vacuum it up but I don’t think that would be safe for my Miele.
