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.

    • 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.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

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?
