It is often preferable to get a diagnosis from an expert. Conserves time, money, and reduces stress.

The hoover mechanism is straightforward to inspect. I would also do a smoke test.

I have not seen any instances of someone disabling the system; what would be the rationale for such an action?

Intentional disablement differs from wear and tear, and insurers increasingly employ forensic investigators, particularly where substantial compensation payouts are anticipated.
