Hoover WindTunnel Flat Belt
$8.99
Product details
Part 440012394 is the agitator belt for Hoover WindTunnel uprights. Hoover publishes it as the WBD agitator belt for the U5140900 and describes it as compatible with WindTunnel vacuums, and lists the same belt in bulk form under 38528033 as the agitator belt for all WindTunnel non-PowerDrive models. Hoover's listing for that belt gives the fit as WindTunnel uprights other than the self propelled models, plus Commercial WindTunnel Bagless, Bagless Widepath, Bagless PowerMAX, Bagged Catalina, Bagged Tempo and Bagless Tempo machines.
Once a belt has stretched past its useful length or split outright, the brush roll goes idle even though the motor keeps spinning normally, and carpet that used to come up clean starts looking passed over instead. A scorched rubber odor, or a loose length of rubber flapping inside the housing when the machine is opened, usually points at the belt rather than the motor or a roller bearing. Spinning the roller by hand with the cover off settles it, since a roller that turns freely once the belt is off rules out a seized bearing as the cause.
