Shark vacuum brush roll indicator light not on

Shark vacuums are renowned for being extremely rugged and reliable. However, that doesn’t mean it cannot fail or be indestructible. Your unit may run into troubles from time to time.

According to our viewers, one of the more common issues that’s been cropping up recently is that the brush roll indicator light refuses to turn on. Here’s how you can fix that problem. Follow this guide: Shark vacuum brush roll indicator light not on - A troubleshooting guide

What Does the Brush Roll Indicator Light Actually Do?

The indicator light of your brush roll actually serves a very important function. If the brush roll is ever jammed or malfunctioned in any way, the light will tell you exactly what’s going on so that you can fix it.

Depending on the status of the brush roll, the light can either glow green or red. Green means the brush roll is at a “healthy” state and is working nominally. Conversely, if you have a red light, that means there’s a problem with the brush roll and it will refuse to spin until the problem is fixed.

But there’s a confusing third case, too: the light doesn’t turn on at all.

There are many explanations for this.

Why Is My Shark Vacuum’s Brush Roll Indicator Light Not Turning On?

Like we said earlier, there are many possible explanations.

The vacuum could be overheating. In that case, the entire vacuum isn’t on at all so the indicator light not turning on is a given.

There are many other alternate explanations, too: a snapped drive belt, blockage in the brush roll, incorrectly attached nozzle, or wrong switch position.

Pinpointing which case your vacuum falls into is the most important task that you have to do in order to troubleshoot.

How to Fix the Indicator Light

  • Overheated Vacuum
Place your hand on top of the Shark vacuum’s motor housing. If it feels hot, there’s a good chance that the vacuum has overheated. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to fix.

Take your vacuum cleaner and put it somewhere cool with plenty of airflow. Wait for around 30 minutes.

Plug it back in and it should start to work normally again.

  • Snapped Drive Belt
The brush roll is driven by a small electric motor and a drive belt. If the belt snapped, the brush roll would stop functioning completely. In this case, you will have to change out the snapped belt and replace it with a new one.

Replacing a drive belt is a fairly simple process and can be done at home. Get a replacement belt from Shark by calling their customer service. Then, take out your toolbox, disassemble the cleaning head, locate the snapped belt, and switch it with the new one.

You can send the vacuum to a Shark service center for them to sort that out for you, as well.

  • Blockage in the Brush Roll
Remove the brush roll from the vacuum following the instructions in the user manual. Clean it thoroughly by washing any hint of debris and dirt from out of the bristles.

If there are tangled hair between the bristles, use a razor blade or a pair of scissors to cut them out. While these are the best vacuums for long hair, they’re not totally hair-proof.

  • Incorrectly Attached Nozzle
Re-attach the nozzle to the vacuum. This time, push it firmly in and ensure that it is seated correctly. If it doesn’t work, there’s a good chance that the nozzle is faulty.

  • Incorrect Switch Position
A Shark vacuum will have a switch with two positions, “I” for suction and “II” for brush roll. Make sure that the switch is put to the second “II” position for the brush roll to turn on.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s a fairly simple problem to troubleshoot. We hope this short guide has been useful to you!

I am wondering about this sentence:

Any help? Thanks!

Are you talking about a person or an object? If it's a person, it should be "someone" (or "somebody").
