Introduction

Many vacuum cleaners have a separate pet hair and power brush head. The roller brush of the head can easily break due to wear and tear. Use this guide to replace the internal roller brush in the power brush head of your Shark vacuum cleaner.

    • This Shark model brush head consists of 7 parts: a base frame, a gear, a roller brush, two side screws, a plastic round band, and a top frame of the head.

    • Push the grey button on the back panel to open up the brush head.

    • Take the purple gear out of the brush head body.

    The purple gear head is what I want to fix my blades are offset now. I can’t figure out how to pull this piece apart to line up the blades. Any help for this.

    • Pull out the roller brush from the brush head.

    • Take out the black plastic band.

    • The black band is an important component and will be needed for reassembly so keep it carefully.

    HELP!

    Where does the rubber ring go? I just cleaned the brush, and have no idea how to put the rubber ring back in… UGH!

    • Pull out the side screws from the right and left side of the roller brush.

    • There are two screws, one on each side.

    • Take the new roller brush and fit the two grey screws/fittings on either side of the roller brush until they are secure.

    Thanks. The last two steps helped me solve my problem. Didn’t need a new brush. Just needed to pull out the hair that had accumulated under the side screws.

    I am sitting here with all the pieces and parts to it because I dropped it. Hoping my daughter can re-assemble thanks to directions.

    seemed easy with instruction till putting back together , very fiddly but done, brush bar goes round slightly and does not pick up debris. does it need a new belt as pretty loose ? if yes where do i get one from. thanks

    I appreciate the pix for each step- especially step 2, the first picture. That was all I needed as I did not know how the band fit into the whole thing. I was reassembling the brush after cutting all the hair out of it. Thanks for including pictures with accompanying written instructions.

Cat hair will jam up in the small gap between the gear and the bushing on the turbine and will cause enough friction to stop the turbine. I used a needle to dig out the hair and it solved the problem.

Great tip! It works now! TY!

Wendy Dean -

perfect solution, could find the problem

Pat Gustafson -

very clear and concise. took me 5 minutes with your instructions - couldn’t find anything like this on the shark site.

Where can I purchase one of the side screw/fittings?

Renee Mills -

Thank you to the first person who commented on the cat hair. I also took a needle to the area suggested , “It works”!

Vivienne Forsythe -

same here! Thanks for the tip!

Wendy Dean -

Another thumbs up for fixing it by removing hair with a needle!

After pulling the end off of both ends of the brush roller and clearing them of hair I also used the needle to get the hair from the cog end of the paddle roller.

It was barely spinning before, now its a quick as it was when I first got it!! 👍

Where/when do I put the band? Mine fell over and I have it all back together but the band.

I purchased a Shark pet hair attachment and while I was using it came apart I'm not sure if a part popped out of it or not it looks like a piece may be missing I will try to find this little piece I can't get it back together

I have a clean pet roller that is re-assembled correctly and it still will not work. This is appears to be a simple device that operates off of air suction. My roller brush component is fairly new but after all effort, it still won't work. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am assuming that others are encountering the same problem. What gives?

I took ours apart (Pet Power Brush 188FLI680) due to noise. I cleaned out the hair trapped in the shorter but wider part that is not the roller brush. There was dog hair caught between the small gear and the next part. I removed it with a couple very small screwdrivers and put all back together. Now the insides don't move. I've carefully lined up the parts. On looking closer, the gear is not in line with the roller. My guess is a year of pet hear stuck in there caused the parts to move on the axle. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
