Lovely video Peter. The Henry refused to start on Saturday. My wife was equal parts impressed that I could fix it, and disappointed I wasn't going to buy a new one. Well done and thanks. Tip sent.

Thankyou Peter- Patron Saint of Henry Hoovers.Got my Hetty going this evening ,a Sunday service if you will,and I’m singing your praises!Hallelujah!

Absolutely fantastic clip ……henry is now working……took me about an hour because I’m a complete beginner…..but you sir are a genius…..thank you very much

Thanks Peter! Fixed my Henry, great start to my day. Your calm tone and fluffy white lounge attire gave me reassurance even after I broke a connector and had to improvise a solution. Also if 85% of the 235 comments are from people who have fixed their vacuum cleaners, at an average replacement price of £120 you have saved people nearly £25,000 so far. Well done!

restores your faith in humanity people like you my missus a underpaid cleaner and we have 3 henrys and had to replace pcb boards and the high and low switches at great expense this works a treat never use the low any way. grateful to you my youtube friend

you just got a subscriber! bought a henry off car boot in the uk, for £10. predictably, it did not work. Tried this and YESSSSSSSSSS. Fired up perfectly and im in the middle of cleaning@! thanks so much! best you tube tutorial ever.

I bet numatic love you!!! They have just missed out on a £130 sale this morning because i chose to followed your expert video. You utter legend, thank you so much!!!

Henry sends you a hug, after checking Henry's current and the engine was working, I deduced that it was the printed circuit board, but he was not sure whether to ask for it or what he should do. excellent video uncle, thank you so much.

Just want to thank you SO much for making this video! I am yet another person who has revived their seemingly dead Henry, following your guidance - which was very clear and straightforward. You're a star. Jem Keen

These instructions still work three years later. My Hetty vacuum stopped working suddently. So proud I managed to do it myself! Thanks a lot!

Our Hetty didn't switch on yesterday. After checking the plug and fuse and it still not starting we were ready to go buy a new vacuum cleaner. Found your tutorial this morning and got our old Hetty operational again in no time. Thank you so much for this money saving tip and for helping to stop another old vacuum cleaner from going to the tip...

I was apprehensive to fix it, but your video really helped make it look like a simple job... So simple, it's just opening the Henry up, and pulling the wires off the Hi/low switch, removing the "pcb" board, and plugging the 2 white wires where you removed the blue and brown wires into the power switch... watch the video, and it's very clear. Thanks so much! The Henry is Alive ! ALIVE !

I bought my Henry when I was 18, I'm now 33, married, and have 2 kids. I still remember when me and my now wife moved in together and she saw my Henry for the very first time, haha! She loves a good hoover! He's been part of the family for years! Today, I thought I was going to have to say goodbye. It was a sad moment. You just saved his life and saved me over £100! Thank you.

It works, it works, it works.... U are a star 🌟⭐🌟... Now everyone thinks I'm an electrician at home ...

Peter many thanks, my Henry is working again, 3 year old video but it's still helping other out perfectly well thanks. Seen some questions asking if the hoover will work on full power only and the answer is yes, FULL POWER ONLY. This will make your Henry hoover work on full power only as you are removing the low power switch wiring... HOPE THAT HELPS CLEAR THINGS UP, If you do this and your hoover works then it's the PCB printed circuit board that's no good, so if you still need your hoover to do low power then you need to replace the PCB printed circuit board

Thankyou so much. You sir are an absolute legend. Someone buy this man a pint

Just echoing all the other comments 🎉 thankyou so much. I've had my Henry for 16 years and only today it died. Your video has her running on full chat which saves me the hassle of pushing the button every time. Thanks again, great video 🥳🥳

Thanks Peter for taking the time to show us mere mortals, your a good man, saved me buying a new Henry. Best of luck from Ireland 🇨🇮

This worked for me! HENRY lives on! Cheers 👌

I just got one for free and it's not working, so I'll give it a go. Update , now working!!! Thanks .

I knocked Henry over and he stopped working. This fix was easy to implement and worked perfectly - I've prevented another piece of premature landfill! - many thanks for nice clear instructions.

Worked like a dream. Saved myself a few quid. Many Thanks

Great simple video on how to save an appliance (and cash). Revived in 10 minutes, very grateful.

Brilliant!! My Henry blew out a couple of weeks ago, I was ready for getting rid and replacing it, I followed this video and its back working again I needed this for my work thanks Peter you are a diamond!!

Wow I can’t believe that I fixed my Henri. Thank you million times. I saved 130£ because of your video.

Spot on. You're a genius. My Hoover came back to live. Thank you so much

Absolutely brilliant, Peter! I was looking online this morning to replace my Henry vac, because it gave up on me last night. Then I came on here looking for a possible solution, and after following your instructions to the letter I managed to get it going again. Thank you so much!

The Dude! Henry works better now than it has done for ages. Many thanks indeed

Thank you so much Peter for this video. It saved me buying a new cleaner. Worked perfectly and so easy to do. Cheers

Thanks, another happy customer over here 🙏🏻

Thanks mate was worried about doing it but checked everything else with a multimeter brushes were good. So took the plunge and with trepidation turned it on.It worked!! cheers mate .

Peter, you gem. Can't thank you enough. Totally fixed. Thought we'd have to buy a new one ! xx

Using your directions, I just repaired. My young, unmaried neighbours, Hetty. Thank you very much. Working perfectly.

Thanks for the video. Mine was used for work and after 3yrs I didn't mind spending money on a new one. However, after seeing your video, I gave it a go and wow, saved myself £100 on a new one! Thanks again!!!

worked a treat ,thank you ,ive been trying to fix mine for ages ,changed carbon brushes, contacts etc ,was about to buy a new one when i found your video.

An excellent video. I have just fixed our Hetty Hoover which has been "broken" for months taking out all of the eco pcb rubbish. Mine also needed a new plug as the connection was a little dodgy - Another common problem due to a lot of flexing over time!! Thanks again Peter!

Brilliant video, my mum bought a new hoover and was throwing the old Henry out, thought I'd give it a go and see if it could be saved. Thanks to your video Henry lives to hoover another day :D. Much appreciated Peter!!

Just completed the PCB removal and my Henry now it works again. Many thanks for sharing.

Almost ended up in the bin until I saw this video and now it works perfectly, good job to you for posting this video, thank you.

Thank you for your clear, steady and easy to follow instructions. Perfect. I wrongly presumed the on/off switch was the issue but bypassing the PCB revived Henry.

Fantastic, done exactly as you said mate, hoover is working perfectly now 😀 cheers mate

Thank you so much for your video, Henry is up and running again. Very well explained and easy to follow. You are a legend!

Thank you. I appreciate how clearly you describe this in your video

OMG after replacing the carbon brushes & switches with no luck. THIS finally got my Hetty working again!!! Thank you 🙌🏼

Absolutely chuffed! Thanks so much... I feel cool after having done this and got my old Henry back in action 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Great advice, my henry stopped working with only the led illuminated, carried out as instructed and henry is working perfect again. Thanks for the video

Thank you for your video, I have saved £130; as I managed to fix my Henry with the support of ur video. U have done a great support. 👍😀

Thanks. Handy little video. Another Henry saved.

Just fixed my Henry. Cannot believe I was able to do this myself thanks to your video. Brilliant 🙏🏻

I did it and my Henry works, I'm really chuffed - THANK YOU. It took watching the video about a dozen times before acting to get my head around what to do because I have zero electrical knowledge so some basic things I needed guidance on which might be taken for granted by people who are familiar with connecting wires etc. My tips are: (1) to disconnect the wires, don't be scared the metal heads of the wires have a push-in pull-out mechanism, I used a flat-headed screw driver to loosen the grip of the metal heads connecting the wires. (2) the switches have a side panel, so to access the wires connecting the switches again I used a flat-headed screw driver to remove the side panel - push in (the screw driver) from the side and lift; (3) if you have done 'too much' in removing the layers to access the motor just follow video for what the coverings around the motor should look like, for example, that plastic 'frame' with a triangle bit around the motor completely came off so i saw too much motor, in fact lifting it out completely but the motor fits back in like a puzzle, there are three areas that you need to make sure are in place - again like a puzzle look for the bits that fit; (4) in taking out the motor completely I disconnected one of the white wires from the motor I just looked for a head that didn't have a wire and job done.

Brilliant video! Thought I was gonna need to get a new hoover as it was completely dead. Now working better than ever!

Wish i had seen this before paying out for another Henry. We had the James and worked fine for just over 6 years then i just turned it off on the hoover switch & came back 5 minutes later & it wouldn't start again. I tried all the usual things like fuse took it apart to see if anything had burnt out couldn't see anything. So last night we bought the Henry XL Plus as it's supposed to be more of industrial so might last longer. Just seen your video this morning and by no means am i an electrician but can put a plug on with ease , i went through what you did on here and now we have the James working on Full Power , ah well it will do for any diy , garage and car work we need doing. It's no wonder the world is a throw society as things just ain't made to last long these days , more and more cheap crap parts are made in China for pennies for every single thing we use in our houses now. So glad i seen your video pity i hadn't seen it soon enough not to have paid out for another one though. Can't thank you enough for your easy step by step guide , if i can fix this then anyone can follow and fix as well.. Thank you

Thank you Peter for sharing this fix. I followed exactly what you said and did and bingo Henry is working again. Cheers for that mate😊🍻👍👍👍👍👍

Great video thank you. Repaired my hetty for free using this method and in about 20 minutes. Your a legend dude. Mother earth will thank you for all the Hetty's kept outa the landfills!!

Well, thank you so much for video. Followed your guidelines and henry powered up, this confirmed p.c.b was faulty. Saved me £20 to replace, thank you again.

Great video. just followed your instructions and Henry lives to fight another day. Thank you very much.

Brother. I want to thank you deeply, from your guide i have fixed my hoover and it is working as good as new! Thank you once again.

Just done this and it worked brilliantly. Excellent tutorial, thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this really helpful video. Henry is working again perfectly!

My Henry just roared back to life! Thank you so much!

Cheers Peter, I now have my Henry back up and running with your advice and help from another video to prove that the pcb was at fault

what a man, youve just resurected my wifes hoover its been stored away for nigh on 2 years and now its going great, tar lar

Great video, thank you. Saved me £32 for a new PCB and I have a working Henry.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this video! My Henry hoover stopped working yesterday and by following your instructions I just fixed it yay! :D I heard a click yesterday and the hoover would only work on the Low setting. Today it wouldn't even start and now works perfectly..thank you again!! :)

😂😂😂😂😂 I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!! It's been driving me nuts for ages. Thank you so much.

Brilliant very straight to the point and no faffing round just got a new Sub

Nice one. Turns out this wasn't my problem. It was a faulty plug. Still, I never used the hi,lo switch any way, so I have removed it. Hoov is now working a treat. Thanks. 👍👍👍

Fixed my Henry in less than 15 mins with your help. Many thanks. Subscribed. :)

Brilliant. l was just about to throw my Henry away. I followed your video and it worked. saved me close on £100.00 for a new one. cheers

Thank you, I started with replacing the on off switch which didn't fix my Henry-but this did! Thank you

Thank you. Henry is working again thanks to your clear instructions.

Bish bosh bash, magic working henry, cheers mate he's as good as new. First thing we always did when we turned it on was switch the eco off anyway

Excellent thanks, my 10 year old Henry now works again!

Thanks for this. I could probably have worked out how to do this myself but you saved me a load of time.

Just fixed my Henry with this thank you very much!

Well done for sharing mate. I fixed my 10 year old Henry in lockdown over a beer in the garden :)

SUPERB! Had to snip off the live wire from white wire which was a little confusing. Local engineer wanted £35 to do this. Thank you Peter.

Followed your video and brought my dead Henry back to life! Cheers, I owe you a beer!

Many thanks. Opened the poor old Hanry twice before to fix it but with no success. Watched your video and: Great Success. Thank you, Sir.

This guy is an awesome guy I picked up up a Henry hoover today no power nothing done this little trick this guy said about works a treat will still look at getting the PCB board future as at the moment the hoover is functioning great would love it this guy could do a little video how to put the PCB board back on if he could bless bro you done well in this video

just brilliant, thank you and Henry fixed

Very helpful - got my Henry going again - brilliant!

Great video, worked a treat for me. Many thanks!

Brilliant I just followed everything you said and it worked first time. Thank you!!

Thank You .. I thought the red button was unnecessary anyway because I always turned it on !

Thank you so much for this video I was going to bin my Henry had it about 14months and after watching this video I do r the same thing and my Henry works as good as new

Nice one. Knew it would be that bloody board. Thanks for showing me how to bypass it.

Great thank you, one of the only videos on youtube which actually works

Boom. Worked perfectly. Thank you!

Fantastic 15 minute job and all is well thank you so much

Cheers m8. All sorted in 15 mins Hetty runs like a dream now.

Just followed the tutorial and it worked perfectly, highly recommended Thanks!

Mate, let me buy you a beer. Works perfectly.

excellent, thank you, my machine suddenly stopped working and i assumed it was a fuse, it wasn't, i opened it up and was surprised to find so many wires and a pcb so gave up. After seeing your fix to an identical machine i just tried it, initially i was concerned that you did not say which of the two white wires should go to which of the two switch posts, since one post is positive and one negative and i wondered if it might make the machine run in reverse and blow instead of suck if i got it the wrong way round, or even burn it out, but i took a chance and either it doesn't matter which white wire goes to which switch post or i got lucky, it sucks great. thanks.

Excellent, you saved me time and money, All the best

thank you for saving my Hetty! Such an easy repair, love it

Alternatively buy a replacement PCB for about £20 and keep the hi/lo function which is useful IMO.

Pete your a diamond had no way of checking PCB so did fix works a treat dogs bollxxks cheers mate Rick

Brilliant job mister! Henry lives again! Thanks very much and muchos kudos.

Just what I needed. Thank you.
