This is the closest I’ve come to finding out how to fix the motorized brush. Thank you. Everything works fine, but what I need now is the little white plastic piece that goes on the motor’s drive axle. Mine is cracked and keeps sliding off. Since Shark.com doesn’t go into this type of detail, is there a generic equivalent I can use? If so, where can I get one, or some. I suppose superglue would work, but I would rather get a new piece.
