I have a brand new shark navigator. It is smelling like it is burning and the bottom is so hot that you cannot touch it. It makes a sound like a bearing went out like a jet engine sound. I love this machine - what do I do?

It looks like the rotatin brush is stucked. This brush is actioned by a ruber belt. If the brush is stucked then the motor axel is sliding on it and gets hot. From here is comming the smell. Ceck the brush and find out what is keep it stuck. More than sure there is a shoelace. Remove it and enjoy your machine.

My Shark Navigator, makes loud noise when switched to carpet. It's not clogged and there isn't any hair wrapped around rollers. How can I troubleshoot this?

They are all called 'Navigator' :>D
https://www.google.com/search?q=Shark+Navigator

When switch to carpet, the difference is that the brush roller turns. When it is on hard floors setting it doesn't. Remove the base plate, remove the brush and the belt. There is likely something wrapped around the drive spindle or clutch.

There was smoke coming out from where the motor is located of my shark rocket vacuum cleaner and it was smelling like it was burning too and there where also sparks coming from the motor as well too ?

I am guessing that the motor has died on you and has stopped working and needs to be replaced. These types of vacuum cleaners last about 5 years and if you had it for 4 years and this problem is occurring then it is most likely a faulty vacuum cleaner here that you could of had purchased and you should buy a new vacuum cleaner. Costco sells shark rocket vacuum cleaners.

Shark navigator will not turn on

Plugged in:
Try moving the cord around at the strain relief, where cord enters the vac, as internal wires may have broken.
Unplugged:
Check brushes of electric motor, they may be worn down.
Unplugged:
Check main switch continuity with a meter on ohms or buzzer.
Limits:
No.
But there could be a thermal fuse either in or on the motor, to avoid overheating damage and smoke signals!

That means that the belt is stretched and it is slipping on the motor shaft, that is why it is hot and smells like burning rubber. You need to replace the belt. Here is the correct belt you need:
