How To Replace The Belts On Shark Rocket DuoClean Vacuums - Brush Not Spinning - UV380

[@Nicole_-rg5ez]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm not mechanically inclined AT ALL but I was able to follow this video step by step and change my vacuum belts. Life saver after viewing 3 other videos that were less than helpful. Thanks again for sharing.😊

Thanks so much for this video. I'm a tech and I opened the unit up but took a pause before trying to remove the motor. I didn't want to break the thinner plastics pieces so I searched the net and this video guided me through the rest of the way! Now I need to order a roller motor. Thanks again!

Holy crap ... ould they have made changing the belt anymore difficult jeez

[@peterrumsey1788]

Thank you for this, its the best one on here.

When lifting out the Belt housing, Start be depressing that little peice of platic, and pushing it to the side, so it stays out of the way. Then start pulling at the top, by the metal. Its a little tricky!

[@Shaggy6713]

Where can I get those belts?

[@kathy32850]

He makes it look easier than it is. The orange inside part with the belts is hard to remove and replace...but I did it.

Sending vacuum😊 to you will pay you

So glad to read your comment!! I'm starting now to attempt 👀 🤞🏼

I can’t find the larger back belt sized. I’ve ordered two and neither works even though it has EPH205. Anyone have the specs and where to order?

[@Nicole_-rg5ez]

​@@7zero7SONOMA I found them in a 2 pack on Amazon if you're still looking

[@watcherwatchmen7785]

Shark wants you to buy an entire new head assembly if your belt breaks, that's why they use security torx bits to assemble everything. Luckily, you can buy security bits too.

Jimmy ya gained a new sub

[@randellshephard4178]

I was looking for part belt for my old Shark vacuum UV380 like your but cannot find that part anywhere :( Where I can find it? I need it asap, Thanks:)

[@snoopysrc]

Shop jimmy how do that on the apex zs360??

[@TampaTec]

Nice fix 👍

[@Mattherat15]

How difficult is that to change a belt?

[@davidluther115]

Where can I buy those belts and what are the part numbers?

[@tannoy6155]

Well they made that user friendly

[@annbesler5569]

No kidding

[@sndk61306]

Right! This is insane

[@stuartwhelan3258]

Thanks for that. Very helpful.

[@brianleitza8359]

My main roller won’t spin but the soft front roller is? I can spin it easily by hand, but doesn’t spin when running. I replaced belt. Any idea as to the problem or the fix? Thank you.

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

It’s unbelievable how much you need to go through in order to get to this thing. I presume Sharks statistics show the average user sticking with their company when their shit breaks and buying a new one. When ours finally goes out Miele will definitely be the replacement. I’m actually all for taking things apart and repairing them as well, so I really don’t mind having to go through all of this. The average diy consumer though.. Personally I just rather have something from a respectable company. 🙍🏽‍♂️

[@DEPTRON7]

This is a big engineering booboo. It should never be this complicated to change a roller belt.

[@TheMattward1]

My beater bar is not spinning but the front soft roller is. The beater bar turns by hand with little to no resistance. Can't be the belt if the front roller is spinning though right?

[@brianleitza8359]

Mine is the exact same thing. Anyone know the problem, issue, fix?

[@CaffeinatedCatLady]

There are 2 separate belts in this dang thing so could possibly be 1 of the 2 causing your issue 🤞🏼

[@fatmouth007]

I can't find any EPH205 belts; do you know what other belts are compatible?

[@Bnabum]

I have same problem...I called Shark...they don't sell them separately...you have to buy the whole power head. I will never buy another Shark product.

[@billpierce9203]

Amazon

[@brianleitza8359]

Amazon. Found it no problem.

[@7zero7SONOMA]

I can’t find the right size. I have the EPH205 but it seems too small. Can’t stretch it over. Other numbers on belt don’t match.

[@ssmith4937]

Could not get the screws off. hex keys do not work. Torque keys do not work. No information provided.

[@brianleitza8359]

I bought torque bits and they worked.

[@malissaclary3299]

It's a t15 SECURITY not. That is not mentioned

[@bwhite-ee]

My model (Shark UV480) uses Tamper-proof Torx screws. Most of them are size T20. But I found T10 in the side panels. Note: your typical tamper-proof driver bits (1/4" drive, 1" length) will not reach some of the screws! The screw holes are too deep to reach the bottoms, and too narrow for an extension. If you want to take this one completely apart, you'll need long (2"+), or possibly narrow (1/8" drive) bits. I was able to use a narrow tamper-proof T15 bit, with a narrow 4mm socket as an extension, in order to remove the T20 screws. In case you have the same model, I discovered that you don't need to remove all the screws to access the belt. The left side panel has a round plastic plug covering its tamper-proof T10 screw. After removing it, work around the perimeter with two flat screwdrivers, releasing plastic clips. Then the panel slides off to reveal the belt.

[@glimmersbytanya]

I had to but multiple sizes for this one. Just get a set on amazon

[@milyhernandez4822]

Please, somebody can tell me if I need to glue one side of the lower hose to replace it ???...( The side who goes close to the brush ) I have a Shark hv380

[@davidtaylor-x5g]

Thanks ShopJimmy. I didn't know where to start. What a poor design. Why make it so difficult just to change the belts on a vacuum cleaner? Why so many screws and the need to use specialist tools to undo them? I could undo my previous vacuum cleaner using a 20p coin.

[@JaneofArc]

Because they want you to buy an entire new head assembly if the belt breaks. Helping the customer out would take money out of their pockets. It's kinda like printers and ink waste pads. They tell you the printer is garbage if the sponge gets too full of ink but you could get a waste ink collector tank and prolong its life.

[@rhythmicfletcher417]

Could not get the 2 star screws below wheels off. Had to break the plastic. It should t be this hard to replace belt

[@user-sw6bw9vy2g]

magical

[@sershetech5584]

👍👍

[@llewellynwilliams1956]

so many screws why

[@nachoisme]

So it doesn’t fly apart when you vacuum 🤷‍♂️

[@davidarmstrong2503]

What a CROCK of would never buy another shark easy as not sure what. I could rebuild and engine easier.

[@sndk61306]

This is a joke right! No seriously! That much crap to change a dang belt…and I don’t even know if that’s why mine is so hard to push

[@nicholasgust9993]

so many steps

[@nicholasgust9993]

All that to change your belt are you kidding me?
