Brush spins once then stops.

The brush indicator light turns green, brush spins once, and light turns red. I've already checked for blockages and cleaned the brush. The brush still won't work. What now?

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

If your the brushroll is not moving there could be several problems

Firstly, the motor may be the problem. If you hear any noises while the machine is running, you should contact the original manufacturer for troubleshooting solutions.

Secondly, your vacuum may be in need of new parts. By changing either the brushroll or belts, you should be able to increase the quality of the suction.

You can purchase a wide variety of high quality Shark replacement parts for your Shark vacuum direct from Think Crucial with free shipping and an exclusive 10% coupon for Fixya.com readers, use code: FIXYA10

I don't know this machine but I'd check the bearings on the ends of the brush to see if they are spinning freely. If it has a drive belt try changing it, if it is an impeller drive check the vanes for damage.

By the way this machine I believe has a 5 year warrenty,

SOURCE: How do I remove roller brush from Shark cordless handheld vacuum?

You have to remove All the screws, and you are correct they are almost impossible, after that most of the part's also snap together, so you almost have to break it to take apart, a vacuum repair shop knows all the tricks to opening these up....

My dyson DC24 makes a horrible noise when the brush is spinning.... like it's not stable.

Hi Michelle, it's Jack at Dyson.

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC24. The rattling noise could be caused by something obstructing the brush bar. Please take a look at the video attached, and make sure the cleaner head is free of blockages, and the brush bar is free of any threads or hair. Once you've removed the brush bar, check both this and the cleaner head for any visible damage.

Once you've reassembled the machines, please test it to see if it's still making the unusual noise. If it is, our experts will be happy to help further - and if a replacement part is needed, they can confirm if we're able to order this under the terms of your machine's 5-year guarantee.

You can reach us by calling 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), or 1-877-397-6622 (CA).

Best wishes,

After turning on power , brush roller freezes and indicator light turns red

try turning the roller by hand UNPLUG VACUUM FIRST
it should turn very easy, otherwise it is binding
all uprights have this problem eventually
hair and fibers get in roller bushing and seize
luckily disassembling is relatively easy, same procedure as replacing the small belt that drives the roller. Take the extra step and take out the roller slip off bushings and clean everything
have fun

Once vacuum is turned on and switched to a certain carpet level, the red light begins to flash and the brush stops spinning. How do we fix this?

Hi there,

The brushbar is designed to stop rotating if you've set it at a level too low for the pile of the carpet you're trying to clean. The indicator light will flash to warn you of this. Using the cleaner with the brushbar raised to the next level on the selector pad should prevent this issue from occurring.

If you have any further concerns about your vacuum, please get in touch with us directly on 1866MYDYSON. One of our experts will be happy to provide the assistance you need.

Kind regards,

Jack

No motor when switched on and 2 red lights flash

Your Sebo has switched itself off to prevent damage. The flashing red lights indicate that the brush roll is jammed and that there may also be a blockage somewhere. You should take the brush roll out and make sure it is clear of obstruction, and also check for blockages (in the inspection flap on the underside, and in the plastic pipe and the flexible hose), and check the condition of the filter in the bag compartment. If the brush roll is clear and the problem persists, you should seek help from a professional repairer as something is probably broken inside (although with Sebos this is extremely rare). Good luck!

Riccar model rad.7 upright (radiance). roller brush won't turn and red roller brush indicator is on. roller will turn easily by hand and belt is in place. how do i fix this?

As you already know, the red brush indicator light indicates that the brush roll has stopped turning, usually because an object has become stuck in the brush roll. When that happens you should turn the machine off (unplug it also for safety), remove the obstruction and turn the vac back on. That should have cleared the light and allowed your brush to turn again.
Occasionally, you will get debris in the brush roll end caps and the brush roll will spin slower making the sensor think there is an obstruction. You can remove the brush roll, pop the end caps off and clean out any debris to see if that helps.
If none of the above worked it is possible that the brush roll sensor is bad or the circuit board in the machine is bad. You'll need a Riccar service center for that. The good news is your Radiance has a 6 year warranty.
