Dyson — Brush Bar Not Spinning
When a Dyson V15 brush bar stops spinning, it's usually because hair and fibers have wrapped around it so tightly that the motor can't turn it. Dyson vacuums have an automatic shutoff that stops the brush bar when it detects a blockage. A good cleaning almost always fixes this.
Dyson — Loss of Suction
Loss of suction on a Dyson vacuum is almost always caused by a dirty filter, a full bin, or a blockage somewhere in the airpath. Dyson filters need to be washed monthly, but most people never wash them. A quick filter wash restores full suction about 80% of the time.
Shark — Brush Roll Not Spinning
A Shark vacuum brush roll that won't spin is almost always caused by tangled hair wrapping around the roll or a worn-out belt. Shark's brush roll indicator light turns red when there's a problem. Clearing hair is free, and a new belt costs under $10.
