My Hoover TC650 only runs if the 'ON' switch is held in, as soon as you release the switch it stops, If you hold the switch in it works normally, any clues thanks

I had the same problem myself , I changed the switch for a new one but that didn't do anything so I changed the start relay circuit board and it worked fine for a year but its gone again now.

The problem is not the switches as previously mentioned, the fault is the start relay is faulty. It is a little circuit board mounted to the top front crossbar by two screws.
