Mend Hoover Work Hello Brush

How do the brushes on my hoover steam vac work (or not work)?

Hello,
I had the pump go out on my 5 brush hoover steam vac-
model #F5905-900- sometime. I didn't realize it wasn't working until I went to use the hand tool. I replaced it in March. Everything was working fine until yesteday when the brushes stopped spinning. I checked to be sure the pump was still working and it is. What drives the brushes and how do I fix it. Thanks, Rebecca

I have one like that. There is a so called fan blade that spins from the forced air that flows across it and as it turns it turns plastic gears that propel the brushes. This fan blade has a shaft on it that goes thru a copper or brass bushing (not bearings) When moisture gets into this bushing it has a habit of corroding and will freeze the shaft in the bushing and stops the fan from moving which in turn stops the brushes from turning. It is an easy tear down and fix if you have a little knowledge on disassembly.
