Great video! I had missed the screws under the wheels, so I couldn't remove the brush roll until I watched this. Less than a week later, the replacement roll arrived, the Shark is reassembled, and it works fine. You've saved a Shark's life. Can't thank you enough!
This is the best video online!! So many show you how to take it apart without giving you step by step reassembly instructions. Very detailed. Thank you so much ❤
I don't ever comment but I had too for your video. I just want to say thank you for your step by step problem shooting video. I was able to diagnose my Shark in a manageable amount of time. I not just diagnosed but I was also able to fix the issue. I went and sent as arched on many different videos and NONE were as instructive and informative as yours. Thank you very much!!!!😁
Thank you! I ordered the tools from your link and was able to discover that hair had wrapped around the swivel in my vacuum which caused the brush to stop. Annoying screws! Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! After watching your video, I was able to take out my roller brush and clean it and now the red light is back to green! Thank you for saving me money!
Thanks so much!! Couldn't locate all of the screws to get it apart... Your video helped!!. Just need to replace the belt. Love this shark navigator vacuum.
Thank you for the video. I have long hair and so does my daughter... it’s always wrapped around the roller! I’ve always been able to maintain my other vacuums in the past, but they weren’t Sharks. I was overlooking a couple screws. Again, thank you for the video!
Today the algorithm has brought me vaccum repair videos. I cant tell if this is youtube just being youtube or some kind of message that I need to get a new identity
Thank you! I had to take it apart twice because as you clearly explained, don't pinch those wires, tuck them in by the curve! I pinched them the 1st time & the roller stopped (again). I think it was semi-pinched in the 1st place, now works fab after I pulled out the original problem, some random piece of plastic that got sucked in! Without your instruction, I would have had to go to the repair shop!
I absolutely love this vacuum🌼 It picks up dog and cat both on my rugs and wood floors. This is a great product and I definitely recommend you try it. I told my daughter in law about it and she purchased one too. Worth every penny!
Thanks for the heads up on tamperproof torx screws. I took it all apart and turns out the safety heat sensor in circuit board shut off brush motor. Great video.
You can buy a torx bit at any hardware store and you pop the wheels out with a flat blade screwdriver, not Phillips. Some times that little cutoff switch that causes the roll to stop when you set it up straight goes bad. You can bypass it by cutting the wires and splicing them together. You'll just have to turn the roll on and off at the main power switch.
I got mine free but roller light,motor out. This was very helpful and informative. Very quiet too. I don’t think the owners ever cleaned a filter or the roller. Yuk is an understatement ! Will check out Amazon and get me tools. Vielen Dank(Many Thanks)
@ Vacuum Wars-- Thank you for posting the series of vids that related to repairing the Shark Navigator Vacuum. Because of your kindness shown to others, I was able to get our vacuum running in top form again! For months our Shark Vac It had not been working well, and a few weeks ago the rotating brush up + quit spinning at all. After watching your little series of content, I was inspired to tear down our Shark and since the belt was not broken like i thought, I put my efforts into the brush, PCB, central switch, as well as the small motor and the semi-plugged up hoses.... The unit now works great because of the inspiration I got from you!! You have earned yourself a new Subscriber AND my gratitude!!
Great video. Just took mine apart. I think the biggest problem is the brushes wearing. I put a flat screwdriver on each one and tapped them in. Seems to have worked for now
Thank you for taking the the time to post this video. My shark navigator brush stop spinning thanks to u i know what screws driver to use i purchase it on amazon i follow the step by step instruction open it and fix the problem. Thank you so much. And god bless.
Absolutely great video. Everything your doing, keep doing it. Never seen a step by step instruction video like this. Your broke it down Barney style and you certainly got a nack for this kind of stuff. You should feel proud. Was wondering if you take requests for videos ? Keep up the good work 👍👍
Thank you very much for the links to the what I consider to be "specialty tools" that I need to buy in order to replace a $1 belt! I didn't have a clue! and....WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US?? LOL
Very helpful video but I can’t find the Amazon links to replacement parts you mentioned. I need to replace the brush motor and belt. Can you direct me to a reputable source, please?
well done video. In reality, good luck finding a brush motor. Shark would rather not sell spare parts - buy a new Shark instead is their preference. Best bet is to take your vacuum to a local vacuum repair business that offers free estimates. They generally will provide the customer with realistic options.
Thank you for a great video Im stuck here my navigator has suction in the hose but my brush dosnt roll Its not the belt I cleaned it as per your video and how do you know if you need to replace motor when the hose works?
Great vid, My exact problem though was the white wire for the brushroll switch somehow got pulled out, and the rubber tubing was split so I dint even know if its possible to get it back in place, I'm wondering if its still salvageable at this point
I have a Shark Navigator almost exactly like yours. But mine is missing the white plastic brush roll part on the left side (9:53...without the groove, on non-belt side). How do I get that part? Also, my brush roll needs to be lubed as one side turns freely while the other side is hard to turn. How does one take apart the brush roll to get all the hair and dirt out and lube it? I tried hammer and chiseling the spool out like I did on my Bissells. But it did not work.
Having a hard time trying to find the motor and board for the UV440 ... any advice? I see some used ones on eBay and didn't see any on Amazon ... and by the way this was a very good video. Well done!
Glad you mentioned the torx screws. But you dont need to order online. Home Depot has easy out drill bits! No need to wait and pay for shipping and handling
Ours had "15" screws that needed to be removed just to get to the rotator brush, 2 different sizes of Philips head and 11 of the odd star bits, A royal pain to take apart just to remove something stuck in the roller and things get stuck in rollers all of the time. Also wire guides and a spring all fell out when the brush head was finally able to be opened. Clearly this unit was not designed for normal maintenance. We spent a lot of money on it but will probably just take it to the dump. We'll but a new vacuum but it won't be a Shark.
I have removed all the screws still can’t get the bottom/top to come off. Took the screws from under the little wheels. Appears still connected at the top I see no screws. I have a Rotator.
I have a Shark NV42 there is no suction. The roller moves but the switch only works on the carpet setting nothing on the bare floor. Nothing is clogged and filters are brand new. Cleaned the roller.
I was having trouble, too. Watch the part about getting the motor in just right. (The way it fits in there isn't the greatest design IMHO). And make sure the wires aren't getting pinched and feeling the parts apart. Also, it helped to see how he had it laid out so that getting the beater brush cover on didn't require two people.
My Shark Navigator is Model nv351 26. If you have same model as me yall, read this before you buy anything** I have a star key kit but doesn't have the tamper proof hole. So I followed the link listed here to the Titan tool on Amazon. FYI The link is for the correct star bit tool.....but not long enough to reach some of those deep screws. You need a driver extension that is width or smaller of a pencil & buy the tamper proof star bits seperate (T-15, T-20)
Hello, my roller brush in my unit has stopped spinning. after poking around a bit, I’ve discovered I’m only getting 10 volts at the bottom of the vacuum base (where the brush roller assembly attaches to the main body of the unit) I’m no electrician, but it seems to me that the brush roll switch (on the main unit) is bad based on what I am seeing, a DC 120v motor and only 10 volts are making it to the roller head. Is this correct? I pulled the hinge switch from the base and connected the two leads as to bypass said switch, with no change in operation.
Are there two motors there, please? One for the brush and another for suction...? My Shark just started sounding strange and the belt no longer turns, but there may also no longer be suction. ..
Thanks for this. I'll never buy another Shark again. I can't believe how hard it is to remove the bottom, which you always need to do on vacs. I missed the two screws by the back wheels. I did remember they put two screws under the front wheels. Now, they made it even harder by requiring a "special" tool. Why would they do this. Who is in charge of their design team?
Do you know where to get a brush roll and belt for a Shark NV 652, can't find one anywhere and shark wants you to buy a new power head or any other brush roll that will fit it? They want $119.00 plus shipping for a $20.00 part
Great video! I had missed the screws under the wheels, so I couldn't remove the brush roll until I watched this. Less than a week later, the replacement roll arrived, the Shark is reassembled, and it works fine. You've saved a Shark's life. Can't thank you enough!

Thank you for making this video! I fixed my vacuum all by myself with your help!
Thank you! I ordered the tools from your link and was able to discover that hair had wrapped around the swivel in my vacuum which caused the brush to stop. Annoying screws! Thanks for the video!
Holy Cow!! That Unit has certainly gone "above and beyond the Call of Duty". And You Too!! Thanks for making sense of this thing.
Thank you so much! After watching your video, I was able to take out my roller brush and clean it and now the red light is back to green! Thank you for saving me money!
Fantastic!
thank you! a comprehensive overview and much appreciated
Great to hear! Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Couldn't locate all of the screws to get it apart... Your video helped!!. Just need to replace the belt. Love this shark navigator vacuum.
Thank you so much. You have saved me much hassle and headache. This was an excellent video. Much appreciation!
Thank you for the video. I have long hair and so does my daughter... it’s always wrapped around the roller! I’ve always been able to maintain my other vacuums in the past, but they weren’t Sharks. I was overlooking a couple screws. Again, thank you for the video!
The New Sharks with Zero M actually prevent hair wrap, they are pretty cool.

It picks up dogs and cats!
This is the best video on the subject by far.
Thank you.
Great video. Good to know you need a Torx bit with the hole in the middle. I have them without the hole and couldn’t get them to work!
Thanks for the heads up on tamperproof torx screws. I took it all apart and turns out the safety heat sensor in circuit board shut off brush motor. Great video.
Great to hear! Thanks!

Excellent demo. I know it's a pretty mundane topic but I appreciate a good demonstration.

This video was SO HELPFUL!!!!
Thanks!

Use a FLAT tip screwdriver & pry upwards
Where did you find the motor forsale??
Where do i find just the brushroller for nv581
I'm struggling to get it put back together. Any suggestions?
I was having trouble, too. Watch the part about getting the motor in just right. (The way it fits in there isn't the greatest design IMHO). And make sure the wires aren't getting pinched and feeling the parts apart.

I opened mine up and 2 metal pieces fell out. They look like they are weights. I don't know where they fell out from. Any ideas?
Mine had one, and got the same problem. No idea where it goes.

Where do I find a new beater bar? Shark does not sell them.
Where are the motors found
I cant find a replacement brush motor.....am I missing the link?
We haven't seen it available for a while either.
Are there two motors there, please? One for the brush and another for suction...? My Shark just started sounding strange and the belt no longer turns, but there may also no longer be suction. ..
By any change of those parts get wet would the vacuum still work?
Thanks for this. I'll never buy another Shark again. I can't believe how hard it is to remove the bottom, which you always need to do on vacs. I missed the two screws by the back wheels. I did remember they put two screws under the front wheels. Now, they made it even harder by requiring a "special" tool. Why would they do this. Who is in charge of their design team?
Obviously its just to prevent you from getting in them so you are forced to hire a technician. Just another way to make more money sadly
