My shark vacuum is blowing out dirt - Euro-Pro NV22 Shark Navigator Bagless Upright Vacuum

Clean or if damaged replace filter

It is probably clogged

1. A common place where loss of suction can happen is on the floor nozzle hose. At the base of the vacuum cleaner is a short hose about 6".
The hose will tear where it bends back and forth. You can find a replacement hose but to install it is difficult.

2. On the neck of the handle is a suction release window (valve). It is used to reduce suction power to vacuum curtains or clothes etc. The valve will often turn on accident and stay open reducing suction power. When the valve is opened, pushing and pulling the sweeper is easier.

3. The filters maybe dirty and clogged. Check ALL the filters. Some Sharks have 3 filters including HEPA. Shark HEPA filter are made of fiberglass therefore can be washed with the others.

4. Check for clogs anywhere dirt can travel until it reaches the dirt cup.

CLEAN the Filters it may be clogged but probably not clogged

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

If the dust cup is too full, there is no space for the dirt to go when you are vacuuming. To fix this, remove the dust cup and empty the it.

If your vacuum is still not picking up dirt after emptying the dust cup, there may be something blocking the airway. There are two places where you can check for a blockage: the dust cup air duct and the intake opening behind the brush roll. To check for a blockage in the dust cup air duct stand the vacuum upright and remove the dust cup. Now you can disconnect the super stretch hose and check for clogs in the air duct behind the dust cup. If that is not the case, to check for a clog near the roller brush lay the vacuum down. Next check the opening behind the brush roll for clogs. If there is debris, clean the opening with scissors, carefully cutting away any debris.

Uncleaned filters may also the reason why your vacuum has lost suction. To clean the foam and felt filters, remove the dust cup and pull out the two filters that are on the top of the motor base. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water until the water is running clear. Let the filters dry fully before putting them back into the vacuum.

If your vacuum is still not picking up dirt, you may need to replace it.
Unfortunately, if none of the other solutions worked, your motor is going bad. Most of the time a new motor costs as much as the vacuum itself and it is not easy to replace the motor. It may be time for a new vacuum.
