Having the exact same issue with the same vacuum from Costco. I tried taking it apart, but didn't know about the hidden top screws. Thank you!

[@RexxDIY]

Glad that I was helpful and thanks for your comment! 😊

[@kdsmclife7080]

Thanks for the video! However, you left off two CRITICAL steps in the disassembly process: 1) to get the soft roller off, you have to take out the screw sitting underneath the floor wheel - this was not pointed out and it took me awhile to figure it out; 2) to get the main roller assembly off the frame of the vacuum, you do need to remove one screw just to the right of center, then the main roller assembly lifts right off. These are two critical steps that should be added to your video, then it would be perfect!

[@RexxDIY]

I believe that I show the hidden screw, is been a while since a make the video, you may be right Lol

[@RobertGillontheinterweb]

Everyone’s a critic 😂

[@gearofhalo4]

Perfect tutorial short and to the point thank you!

[@stewbee9361]

yes this seems like a notorious problem for these vacuums. thanks for the video

[@RexxDIY]

Yeah the main reason is the hair get stuck in the roll if is not clean periodically plus if is force with a rug or something get stuck in it, is almost guarantee that it will go out.

[@thejunkboxcollective]

THANK YOU!!!! I couldn't find the hidden screws a couple years ago! I gave up on fixing it and have only used the hose since then 😂 I can finally fix the large roller because of this video!!

[@RexxDIY]

Lovely 😊 and was a pleasure!

[@DESERTCB1]

Yo Dude! Thank you for getting us the data clearly and quickly! Well done!

[@FedexSpikyhair]

You are a life saver man

[@RexxDIY]

Glad that I was able to help! 😊

[@ralphowens4510]

I think that was my problem, already ordered new vacuum, since we have had it for 3 years. But , I did order new belt and will see if that fixes it. Thanks

[@TheDeckerFamily]

thanks for the info!

[@lindapoworski2597]

Hi there great video. I have a similar shark vacuum. I have it all apart. My belts are intact but the brushes are not spinning. Im down to the main board. Where is the thermal fuse on these. Thank you.

[@danielganciar7193]

Thank you for the video!🙏🏻

[@RexxDIY]

Thanks for watching and your comment, glad to hear was helpful 👍🏼

[@user-sz9ue1tb9d]

Tanks a lot was almost givin up! Till I seen ur video👍🏾

[@RexxDIY]

I’m super happy that my video help you, and thanks for the comment that make my day 😊

[@janemartin2416]

Thank you!!

[@RexxDIY]

You're welcome! 😊👍

Getting the right size screwdriver, a T20 was really helpful. The screws under the upper lid which I pried off using my smallest flat head in the middle of the back ( side nearest the cannister). were smaller, T10?. There is also another screw inside that has to be removed. Facing the machine it is to the right of center behind the roller in the open. I have a UV850 and the belts cited here fit perfectly. Also I used my smallest Allen wrench to pop up the wheel that has the screw underneath. .

[@teresafleschner7375]

Awesome video

[@RexxDIY]

Thanks!

[@NEEUch]

had a rock stuck in the roller. thanks for showing how to open the darn thing

[@RexxDIY]

Yeah that’s pretty annoying, specially when you need the vacuum that day, make sure to keep those belt’s available cuz it will happens more then once

[@joshholschuh1847]

1 suggestion. Dont tell people to use a flat head to remove those screws . Mechanics and handy men can make it happen without damage. Most cannot and will blame you even thou you can and have.

[@edideras242]

Muchas gracias por la explicación no sabia que llevava una banda ahorita la desarmo para ordenar la vanda gracias

[@RexxDIY]

Que bueno que el video te fue de utilidad, fue un placer poderte ayudar.

[@georgemalich1478]

Thanks for the video, I would have never found the hidden screws. Can you please link the belts you purchased, I am having trouble finding them.

[@dandydonslife9869]

I have a shark 771 duo the brush roller motor isn’t running and the forward lights are off, but the vacuum Motor runs good, any ideas? Is there a way to reset machine?

[@RexxDIY]

Sorry but as right now I’m in middle of a big job and pretty busy, if you don’t mind waiting I can probably find out later.

[@ShielaCannon]

How do you get the handle back, when it flops back

[@RexxDIY]

Do you know the time stamp so I can help you better?

[@A-tone-gk7pb]

How do i take off that little wheel i got the acrew off just that one aide with the little wheel

[@kennethlipton2404]

Same question - can’t seem to figure it out

[@ivancostacurta92]

Get a small flat screw driver and pop it out, to reinsert put it in the same position and apply little pressure to secure it back in place

[@donzahurance8272]

How do I replace the motor NV752 Shark?

[@RexxDIY]

Is the Motor what is bad or the belt? Now is 13 screws to remove the top cover but one (1) is by the roller cavity hidden kind of, once you that remove the roller cap and the roller will come off and you should be able to access the belt at that point. Belt Amazon link amzn.to/3gvOApe I hope this helps and thanks for watching

[@nataliedelgado1500]

I’m still trying to get these screws out! It’s tough!

[@RexxDIY]

You were able to remove them?

[@danmoss1685]

Belt on mine is fine, so other potential fixes?

[@ivancostacurta92]

My reply is kind of late but if you have enough suction on the extension clean up hose, its almost as 100% that is clogged, check for the 2 little clips underneath and turn them to the open position and inspect the hose that goes to the vacuum head

[@fludrbywest3886]

I need to know in detail how to remove the clear compartment that hold the belt and beater bar , I’m scared to break the side shield.

[@RexxDIY]

Lift the opposite side first a little and then the belt side then keep repeating that process and it will come out! Hope this helps 😊

[@owenrichardson1419]

How to take the head from the rest of the machine. I have a replacement head to fit.

[@RexxDIY]

You were able to do it or you still need help?

[@gogogg4610]

Very helpful, but why do u speed up the video... so so frustrating!!!!

[@RexxDIY]

Sorry for that, I was or I’m pretty new to content creation and time lapse was the only logical choice back then. I look back now and I can see all the “mistakes” that I made. Thanks for the kind comment.

[@jaustind123]

Bought at Costco stopped working almost right away. Should have returned it.

[@RexxDIY]

If Costco still have them, bring that one back and swapped of a new one, this is really good performance vacuum, is just that flaw, that if get stuck with a rug or something like that it will burn the belt.

[@howitlookstome]

Where you show “need to remove this wheel”-- how do you remove that? I’ve got everything else off except that corner

[@RexxDIY]

What is the time stamp? So I can give you a better answer

[@howitlookstome]

Thank you ! Time code 00:16

[@RexxDIY]

Ok, I see that you need a skinny flat screwdriver. Slide it under the wheel and push it up then it will come out. The wheel is held only by pressure.

[@howitlookstome]

@@RexxDIY will try thanks!

[@howitlookstome]

Yes, it pops right out, and there’s another little screw underneath. Will deal with that tomorrow because it’s so dang hard getting them out without stripping them…Great video by the way, thank you!

[@janemartin2416]

We have replaced the belt, we found that it WAS broken, but we are still having a problem- the front "headlights" and green light are going on and off (not staying on consistently)...it seems to be sucking up things, brush rollers are not spinning correctly... something is not right....Do we need to purchase a Brush Roll Micro Switch, perhaps? Thank you!!

[@RexxDIY]

So when you engage it by tilting down the handle the rollers won't start spinning? sound like you need to open it again and manually activate the switch and see if works correctly

[@janemartin2416]

Thanks for your reply....No, the brush rollers won't spin. The motor runs. We tried cleaning/spraying female contact pins with CRC Elcectronic cleaner but that didn't help. To manually active the switch, how do we get to that part of the sweeper?? My husband is having trouble getting the bottom plate to come off (he was able to gently pry the sides off, after having removed screws, but can't figure out the bottom plate....

[@RexxDIY]

@@janemartin2416 ok the motor runs but none of the rollers spin? sorry is really hard to troubleshoot in the comment section along.

[@janemartin2416]

Thank you so much@@RexxDIY ! We were able to get the bottom plate off. My husband will have a friend at work test the switch tomorrow with a multimeter to see if it's working or not...I've found a replacement switch to buy if it's NOT working...but If the switch IS good?? then, I'm not sure what the next course of action would be. I don't want to bother you, but if it's ok, I'll let you know what we find out about the switch. Thank you :) The sweeper has been good---it gets a lot of use (we have 2 giant breed dogs (Great Pyrenees) and several cats....so I am sweeping every day- sometimes twice a day. Maybe some sweepers just can't handle that. 🤷‍♀

[@RexxDIY]

@@janemartin2416 that's great idea, with the multimeter is for sure that you guys are going to be able to spot the issue. I have a question: do you have the exact model vacuum as the one in my video?

[@saharyacoub5733]

Hello, Where to find that screw driver you used? Thank you

[@RexxDIY]

You can get it at Home Depot or Lowe’s, let me know if you have any other question.

[@saharyacoub5733]

Thank you so much 😊

[@scottstjohn5073]

Belt number?

[@RexxDIY]

Watch time stamp 1:28 is a screenshot of the Amazon item

[@dragonheadretreat]

Ok. Belt is NOT broken, but tiller isn’t spinning. What else might issue be?

[@lamebrainmcgee]

You ever find out what was wrong?

[@dragonheadretreat]

@@lamebrainmcgee I did. KZbin videos to the rescue. The little square thinking that plugs into motor had come undone. NOW. Who know how to fix an IRobot 675, that the cleaner/brush thingy stopped working.

Is the top yes is the top

[@awaisyaseen2707]

Lid removing is not so easy he showed open belt is easy but other side is not easy. He lied

[@RexxDIY]

Well those folks in shark company are constantly changing the design of those vacuums to make it harder to fix it, that is why I make a video about it and if you notice I didn't cut the video and I show how I did it myself. I don't have any affiliation with anybody and if anything I make the video for FREE, I took time out my life to try to help other and I hope is been helpful to someone.

[@salgreco-ng9cg]

terrible video

[@RexxDIY]

Agreed, should be better ;)
