Shark ION Robot R75 Main Brush Replacement

Introduction

The main brush of the Shark ION Robot R75 collects debris both from the path of the vacuum and from the side brushes. The main brush can become worn, dirty, or wrapped up with debris (especially hair) over time. When the debris buildup becomes too significant, the brush can have difficulty spinning, which will impede performance. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the side brush is necessary to keep the R75 in its optimal performance, so use this guide to both access the main brush for cleaning, or to replace it once the brush becomes too worn.

    • Push on the two tabs on the edge of the main brush cover and pull up to remove the cover.

    I would add markup and action shots here. Which cover? Make sure to specifically identify device components.

    • Pull the main brush slightly to the right to remove it from the compartment.

    Edit

    When will you know that you’ve pulled far enough to the right? When you say remove, do you need to lift the brush up? Do you have more action shots demonstrating this procedure?

    Right. Mine does not budge, and I don’t want to break the mounts.

    • Remove the rubber end cap indicated by the red circle.

    • This step is not needed for a replacement. However, it is important for maintenance. Hair will build up in this area over time, and will cause error messages to pop up, as well as stopping the R75 from cleaning and moving.

    • Inspect this component at least every six months. This time may be less if you have animals.

    Edit

    Be sure to check special bullets. Indicate how to remove the end cap.

My shark ion stopped working after about 6 months and it started giving an error on the brush. I cleaned my vacuum pretty regularly, at least once a week. I ordered a replacement brush and it still hasn't fixed it. Do you have any other suggestions?
