I have a Hoover 1200 Special edition and the filter is not behind the front panel. I have taken off the back cover and there are two hoses left and right of the drum. Where will the filter be located and can I unblock it?
If you are looking for drain filter, follow the outlet hose from the back. you will find the pump. and near that, or part of it will be the filter, you should then be able to see where it opens from. If you looking for inlet filters, usually at the water inlet pipe. take off the pipe after turning the water off, filter is a small round bit fits inside the connection.
