I found the hose on Amazon, and I didn't use any glue. I was able to replace it myself after the local vacuum repair shop declined, saying they couldn't get parts. I'm a 71 year old female with absolutely no prior experience that would pertain to vacuum repair, so this is really doable with this video to help. Getting it apart was the hardest part.
Gale Thomas-Goodman I’m 60! I looked high and low a couple years ago and took the hose from the floor attachment. But I’m happy to see this FINALLY! thank you for EMPHASIZING how awesome we gals over 39 can be!! 👏👏👏❤️
Successfully replaced the hose in my older Shark Rocket vacuum by following this video! I did have to use a wider diameter hose (but also have a different model number than quoted here - I think a 301). Also, noticed several commenters saying the hoses aren't glued in; the original hose on my vacuum was absolutely sealed in with glue/some other adhesive, making it a bit messy and difficult to remove. I just screwed the replacement hose in and didn't use an adhesive, but wanted to mention since so many people are saying there's no glue. Also, for other super amateurs like myself: if you're having trouble screwing the hose in or out: you're probably just turning it the wrong way. Try the "other", counterintuitive way. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to turn it the wrong way initially, before: success.
I also have a 301 model but I'm having a hard time finding the correct hose for my vacuum, the ones I found on Amazon said for models 300,302 and the bad reviews claim they don't fit the 301 model. Would you be so kind to tell me where you acquired your hose and also what size wrench did you use. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video!! ... I was about to throw out my year-old Shark HV301, and then someone told me about this video. I successfully installed a new hose thanks to you and brought my vacuum back to life. This floor nozzle problem is very common with these units and I'm aghast that Shark has not issued any product recalls. It's also not covered under their "limited" 5-year warranty. Their warranty should be renamed "non-existent" 5-year warranty. This is clearly an engineering and/or manufacturing defect on Shark's part and should be covered under warranty. Shame on Shark.
The vacuum repair guy where I live says Shark does it on purpose, to get people to buy another vacuum more often. It throws show business to the repair guys too😳I just need to find the correct screwdriver to try to fix the head myself-got the hoses on Amazon that are stronger with steel too!!
Just successfully changed my vacuum hose with this video! $9 hose from Amazon and TH-cam just saved me $230 and a trip to the store to get a new vacuum. I just vacuumed 24 hours ago and the new hose just pulled out about 1/2 a canister of debris. Frightening! How many hours have I wasted just spreading debris around the house with a broken hose? Thanks a bundle!
Thank you SO MUCH!! I was able to replace my Shark hose with your easy to follow steps. My first repair attempt. I did have a piece left over wasn’t sure where it was from. Half moon shaped rubber gasket. Anyway the vac works like a charm.
I have this vacuum. Love this vacuum for my small apartment. And I'm glad to know this is a common issue as it means there's plenty of resources. Thank you for this video. I'm a diy guy but didn't know where to start
There are a few conditions that could cause a vacuum to be hard to push. First one would be if you got new carpeting. They’re also could be a problem with the rush roll not spinning properly or the brush roll can be worn away. Check your belt to make sure everything is working properly. If it’s not one of these simple fixes, I would call a vacuum service center near you to get some more advice. Or you are welcome to call us. Our store opens today at 8 AM central time.
Thank you so much for providing the link to where to get this hose. That is one mother bear to find, I've been searching for over a week now. Getting the vacuum apart was a sinch finding the hose was the hard part
Thanks for the video! I'm not that mechanically inclined. I was concerned about breaking the vacuum when disassembling it, but was able to fix the hose because of your video. Thanks again!
Very good videeo. Found the hose on Amazon and it was exactly the length you measured. Everything went togather as you described. I also didn't use any glue. Thanks!
My hose was glued in - HV300. Bought a hose from Amazon - Hose for Shark Rocket HV300, HV302 Vacuum Black Hose Motorized Lower Nozzle, 6" x 1.25" ID - but it was slightly too big and started to crack the hose attachment.
Great video. Glad you mentioned counter clockwise, that helped get the hose out. I was going to mend it with duct tape but since it was apart I ordered a new hose. Thanks for the steps for getting to the hose and getting it out.
Good job on this video. My husband and I followed along with you and it was real easy. You saved us lots of money. Repair guy would have charged a minimum of $60. Thanks.
I can’t even get all the screws out as there’s little metal posts in the middle of the screw like it wasn’t fully punched correctly? It’s really frustrating because I really love this lil vac and need to replace the hose that essentially disintegrated after only 8 months of light use!
Thanks for the help! I ordered the hose from the link and it was a tad bit narrow so I put some gorilla tape on both ends, added some rubber cement and reinstalled. I'll give it a run tomorrow.
Great video, I found that those hoses screw it's into each end adapter so when taking it off on the bottom turn turn the adapter to the right clockwise opposite of what you normally would and when you go to take the hose off the top you do the same thing , screw it to the right it unscrews from each adapter end. Before I order one of those houses I am going to measure this and see if I got something off an old vacuum or can find somewhere cheaper than what they sell them for . Thank you for the video
I have a shark navigator mt problem is it has not lost suction. It seems like it has too much suctuin. When I turn it on its very hard to push across the carpet. Does rhat make sense 😮
I have a Shark HV300 series vac the hose split on the bend. There are 3 screws I cannot identify. Should be either Phillips, Hex, T-15 or T20.... tried all of those nothing works. I have concluded that the screws were stripped on the production line. Vacuum is only 6 years old. Gee I would like to vacuum at some point
i actually have all the Torx bits necessary for to remove the screws. The original Shark technician just installed the Torx screws so tight they stripped them. i did manage to remove them yet the hose as so many other people have said is not installed to be replaced.
I tried this with a shark rocket HV380w (a newer model). Every screw is a security screw and the hose is glued on both sides. The hose on the motor side has a rubber collar bonded to the plastic which appears that shark has now made the motorized floor nozzle extremely difficult (near impossible) to repair even with a replacement hose bit. The glue, even with using acetone, is near impossible to remove. It appears they have changed the hose size several times between models and if your host diameter is off by 1-3 mm it won't thread. The cost of sending in the vacuum is approximately $20 if its under warranty. I ended up abandoning the project and unfortunately had to buy a replacement part from the manufacturer. If this happens to part that I ordered from shark, I will likely find another brand. Shark needs to support peoples right to repair by designing their products to have the hose (and other parts) to be replaced easier or they will need to design a more heavy duty hose section that does not break down.
The video was great but the hose you recommended were to small for both my Shark Rocket vacuums. Both broke the same week. They were different models. One the exact same as yours. Both original hoses were identical from different models and year. My advice is to find one a little bigger but I had already ordered 2 so I made due. We'll see if they hold. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for sharing great video. Appreciate the time you have put in. Just a quick question, where did you got that hose from? And is it little bit less wider than original?
Hose is Not Glued in...Too remove the hose turn it like a reverse thread.. just turn it to the right and it will come out easily.. turn to the left to install.
for those planning to do the fix: no the hose is "screwed" into ends of the attachments and not actually glued. i was able to unscrew the hose from each attachment and "repair" it with duck tape.
@@HanhVu93 Hey. it holds and works ok. The repaired hose screwed im easily so i'm not even planning to get a replacement hose and will stick with duct tape repaired one
Hi., I had to replace the hose as well... On my vac the hose ends were glued with what seems silicon. To remove the damaged hose, I simply cut the wire reinforcement and pulled it out. I did the same for both ends. After cleaning the connectors, I screwed the new hose onto the loose bottom connector, then into the top. When reassembling, adjust the bottom connector. I did not use glue, because honestly, it ain't going anywhere. Hope this helps...
Hello Pavel, i did the same a year ago and it did hold pretty good. I have a new crack in that hose closer to one end of it, but plan to fix it the same way. I didn't use glue either; I thought that was unnecessary! One thing I did thou, I covered the crack with a bit of plastic wrap first and duct taped it then. In regards to buying the hose, it doesn't seem to be the same size. They advertise 1 1/8" but when I measure the original one it is 1 1/2". So, for now I guess Duct Tape will do...haha! Thanks for the video.
I need to fix the hose on my NV680. So far i'm unable to completely disconnect the top part from the bar area as shown in the video. It has a much different hose....no connectors, it's screws in to both sides so I definitely need to be able to fully disconnect them. Thanks!

Very good videeo. Found the hose on Amazon and it was exactly the length you measured. Everything went togather as you described. I also didn't use any glue. Thanks!
Obviously Shark needs to recall due to this malfunctioning part. Way too many people having the same exact problem
My hose was glued in - HV300. Bought a hose from Amazon -
Hose for Shark Rocket HV300, HV302 Vacuum Black Hose Motorized Lower Nozzle, 6" x 1.25" ID - but it was slightly too big and started to crack the hose attachment.
Thank you, I was able to replace the hose in my Rocket, this video filled in some needed info.
Great video. Glad you mentioned counter clockwise, that helped get the hose out. I was going to mend it with duct tape but since it was apart I ordered a new hose. Thanks for the steps for getting to the hose and getting it out.
Helpful vid. Note later models use Security Torx screws. Buy removal tools at Harbor freight for about $7.
Great video, I was able to replace the hose in our vacuum with no major difficulty.
Good job on this video. My husband and I followed along with you and it was real easy. You saved us lots of money. Repair guy would have charged a minimum of $60. Thanks.
I found on my Shark HV301 the hose once loose screwed out of the swivel unit and also the coupling..
This video is very helpful thank you so much,but I have a question! Which tool to use to get those screws out?
For mine I needed TORX screwdrivers, there's two different sizes so you should try to find a set.
I can’t even get all the screws out as there’s little metal posts in the middle of the screw like it wasn’t fully punched correctly? It’s really frustrating because I really love this lil vac and need to replace the hose that essentially disintegrated after only 8 months of light use!

Why can’t I find the hose for the HV 305 model😒
I was hoping to do this but the bissell lower hose has its wiring running in circles inside the hose and I'm not sure if I want to rewire it
How do I fix a loose wheel?
Shark does not sell new wheels. You would need to search for a used one.
Got the recommended hose, worked perfect! Thanks!
