Model #U6470-900 HOOVER vacuum, upright

You may have a bad start switch that is causing the unit to continuously cycle. The wiring diagrams for the common types of Whirlpool 900 Series compactors are shown in the image below. I circled that start switch in red. The basic location of components in this type of compactor is shown in the second image. You may be able to shut off the house circuit breaker for the compactor and access the start switch in the console. If you open the drawer, you may find screws in the back top side of the drawer that you can remove to release the console. If you can access that start switch, you can check it for continuity with a volt/ohm meter. Here is a link for a brief video that shows how to test switches: Video: Switch Testing . If the start switch is bad in your compactor, then replacing that component should fix this problem.

You can order parts from the Sears PartsDirect website. Use the full model number of your Whirlpool compactor to access the parts list diagram and order the correct switch.

If you need more help, reply with additional details and the full model number of your compactor.

If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website: Sears Home Services .

Thank you for your question.

Without a model number, I will only be able to give you general information. If the washer fills but never runs, the motor to agitate the problem could be a timer, motor speed switch, or a pressure switch failure. I recommend noting when the washer does not agitate. If you only have the problem with certain motor speed or cycle, I suspect the timer or motor speed switch. If you need further assistance, please reply below with a complete model number and more details.

Thank you for your question.

I am sorry you are having a problem with the driver. I looked up the model number you submitted. The charger for this model is not orderable. You could purchase a universal charger from radio shack. They have chargers that have multiple ends and you can change the voltage. I suspect the cost of the charger would be close to the cost of a new driver.
