F.A.Q.

More Shark repair questions, answered

It depends on the issue and the model. Some problems, like clogs, belt replacements, or brush roll repairs, are easy and cost-effective to fix. However, if the motor fails or a key component is non-replaceable, replacing the vacuum may be the better option. Unfortunately, Shark makes this decision easy. Most of the time, you simply cannot repair your Shark vacuum, no matter the issue. There are some exceptions, of course, but that is generally the rule. If you’re unsure, consult a repair expert before making a decision.

First, check the power source, ensuring the vacuum is plugged in or the battery is charged. If it still won’t turn on, inspect the power cord for damage, reset the thermal switch, and check for clogs that may have triggered an automatic shutoff.

Yes, but it depends on the model. Some Shark vacuums have removable batteries, while others have built-in, non-replaceable batteries that require professional servicing. Check your user manual or look for a replacement battery kit if your model allows for it.

If your vacuum has lost suction, the brush roll isn’t spinning, it’s making unusual noises, or it shuts off unexpectedly, it likely needs maintenance or a repair. Clogged filters, tangled brush rolls, and worn belts are common culprits that can often be fixed at home.

Shark designs its vacuums in a way that makes repairs challenging, often using non-replaceable components, proprietary screws, and limited access to parts. This is because Shark’s business model encourages customers to replace their vacuum rather than repair it. However, with the right tools and guidance, many common issues can still be fixed.
