Almost certainly you have broken a drive belt. It is not a big deal though just turn it upside down and remove the base plate you should be able to access the belt from there. You should be able to get a belt pretty easy from an online retailer like vacuumspot

that machine is made to do that, there is a safety switch in the base of the machine that shuts the brush off when the handle is in the upright position.

SOURCE: Brush will not spin any longer

Even though the belt may look okay it can still be stretched. If the belt is stretched then it will not turn against the resistance of the carpet. I would try changing the belt. You can get the belt for this model here:

SOURCE: Took Roomba apart to clean and now the pick up

You can go to www.iRobot.com . This is the roomba website. You should be able to find replacement parts, customer support, videos or the Roomba product, and more.
When you cleaned your Roomba, did you also clean the wheel wells and outer most edges of the brush brush cartridges? There can be lint, threads, and at my house, cat hair, wrapped around the outermost edges of the brush cartridges.
I hope my suggestions help. If so, please contact Fixya and rate my solution.
Thanks and Good Luck!

Vax Dual V spin scrub brushes do not rotate any more

They're powered by the suction. Check that the brush switch is on. Otherwise, the brush head can be taken apart for cleaning. It's probably clogged up with hair, threads, etc wrapped around the shafts.

My vax power pet 6 keeps cutting out after about 10 seconds, sometimes less. i have changed the filters, theres no blockages, the sunction is great til it cuts out, ive even changed the on/off switch.

I had the same problem, after a few seconds the VAC cut off try turning off the Brush Roll mine then stayed on. the problem is with the rotation brush in the bottom of the VAC you need to take the cap off the end of the brush (the side where you can see the metal pin) it is not easy to get off but it can be removed. if its like mine it will be full of hair, this makes it hard to rotate. once cleaned put the cap back on, put the rotating brush back and it should work. This has resolved my problem.

take the vacuum head off the end of the tube , turn the machine and place your hand over the end of the tube
if it sucks your hand onto the tube , the machine is working as a vacuum machine
then check fro a blockage in the elbow section near the head
if there is no vacuum , junk it and get a new one
