Thank you Smitty! You fixed my problem and saved me from spending an extra $300 on a new unit. I actually called Shark and they didn’t even try to help!
Thank you! I didn’t see any obvious obstruction, but removed the vent and gave it a few good bangs. Didn’t see anything come out, but after reassembly, it worked again!
My cousin gave me one and it was working when I brought it home. I cleaned the roller wheel. I cleaned the filter. I cleaned a little arms, put it back together and now it won’t run and no lights are lighting up.
Hi i have this same model my issue is when charging the blue lights never stop blinking i think on my app is only always 90%charge what's the issue with that?
I have this same unit. It seems to have lost it's ability to continue if it hits an obstacle straight on. When it contacts an obstacle straight on, it pauses for a few seconds, (still running) then it backs up and runs normally until it comes in contact with another obstacle straight on. That's not the way it use to work. Before, if it came in contact with any object front or sides, it would immediately turn or back up then continue. Can you help me?
Well I watched this video and got so excited that after everything I had already done, I was going to find something lodged way up in there haha. I took it APART myself and not a dang thing. Pretty clean actually. It just won’t do anything. It’s on the base and when I select to clean, the clean light flashes red, red exclamation and green dock. I am about to throw it as hard as I can over the hill and let er roll!!! Unless you have any better suggestions?
Hey Smitty, subscribed and liked a bunch of your videos. Your 37 minute shark tear down vid enabled me to remove my (hard to turn / throwing a no 2 error) side brush motor. No foreign debris inside gear housing, just 50% harder to turn than the other side. BUT now I’m having trouble on where to buy parts or get a parts number list? No numbers on the piece either. One Amazon seller has a left motor but then I need a right one and finding a parts source is harder than the tear down! Whadya suggest? It’s a AV2511AE / bottom says AV251WAOUS . Thx!
The motors are interchangeable , right side and left are the same they turn opposite because of how they are mounted. Make sure it's not the gears first. If the motor is hard to turn its the motor but if the gears make it hard good chance its the housing.
@@SmittysWorld Gears lubed and good condition, with gears out, motor shaft does turn but with slight resistance but I’ll have to compare to feel of new one. I actually broke down and just ordered a different kind (to rob motor out of housing) just to get it on the way as I had dropped the motor out of the housing easily and it looked like the same generic motor offered (also returnable). So sounds like direction of the bevel on the gears and polarity don’t matter then left to right. Wish there was a parts list or good supplier. Not buying another of these unless it’s from Costco next time. 53 weeks old and threw the code! Thx for quick reply & info!
Hi Smitty have you heard about error #2 for the shark iq? Even after roller housing cleaned, new roller inserted and side brushes replaced...still get that dreaded error #2. Thanks
Okay I've tried everything with my Shark RV772. Starts, turns to the left and stops. Red Exclamation Point flashing on left side of 3 blue bars. All lights are flashing (Dock is blue, Clean is Red and Max is Blue). Steps I've taken to try and fix are: removed both brush feelers and de-haired, Removed side wheel compartments and de-haired WOW there was a whole dog in there, Removed cleaning roller end and de-haired, removed little roller ball wheel, nothing really there and the final step was your video suggestion of removing that little vent and blowing it out. Then blew the whole thing out with the air compressor. The damn thing still won't work. HELP!!!
My battery light flashes when on base, then goes black. The unit doesn't charge at all. Doesn't even attempt to charge. Connection light is on, on the base, power light is on, on the base and I cleaned all sensors and connecting places to the base. We replace battery with Amazon battery with no change. So we returned it. Any advice?

Omgosh it happened to me to and did exactly the same and work
You are the man! I was ready to give up when I found your video. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Thank you! I was one more button tap away from throwing the whole thing away! Fixed it in less than 5 mins.

Blinking light still coming on and vaccum stopping. What else can I do??
Did not work for me. Need instructions how to take it apart and clean the inside.
I’m still getting this error message after cleaning out the filter, brushes, dust bin, and removing the screen and blowing it out. Any suggestions?
open it up and inspect the suction motor if you have no air loving on the side when it starts motor could be bad,
@@SmittysWorldcan you please help by directing me to a page online where I can purchase a new motor since I am having the same issue.
@@ameliahernandez2319 eBay is only place I don’t sell parts anymore
Mine is it turn off once i click the cleaning
Thank you working great now 😊
