    • Remove the brush roller by lifting vertically away from the brush head. It should come out easily along with the belt.

    • Be careful in handling the belt. If stretched or damaged, the belt can cause the motorized brush to operate incorrectly.

    What if just the plastic gear is bad? Where can I find a replacement that will slip on and be attached properly. In many of these units that gear cracks with age, add do the end holders for the brush. I'm not sure where to obtain the proper gear, the number of teeth it has, the size of the gear, or the size of the hole. Help would be greatly appreciated as for a Ten cent part , SHARK ridiculously and very unjustly, wants me to buy a whole new unit for $50 plus shipping, but I can buy a brand-new one at Amazon for $48 . Still both are ridiculous for a $0.10 part. I have seen where I can get plastic gears but I am unsure of the size and how to attach it properly. The old one sweat and the motor spins freely inside the gear.

    • Lift the motor from the motor mount.

    • Use a soldering tool to carefully soften the solder on the connectors.

    • If after re-soldering the wires to the motor doesn't cause it to begin functioning properly, you may attempt to replace it with another 18 volt DC electric hobby motor.

    • Manufacturer does not advertise exact specifications of motor. Attempt replacing motor as a last resort and do so at your own risk.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

This is the closest I’ve come to finding out how to fix the motorized brush. Thank you. Everything works fine, but what I need now is the little white plastic piece that goes on the motor’s drive axle. Mine is cracked and keeps sliding off. Since Shark.com doesn’t go into this type of detail, is there a generic equivalent I can use? If so, where can I get one, or some. I suppose superglue would work, but I would rather get a new piece.
