Question edited for clarity and correct name of the vacuum.

Where is the shark vacuum brush bar reset button? You can find the shark brush-bar reset button on the underside of the vacuum.

Is Your Shark Vacuum Brush Not Spinning? This Is Why!

If the brush roll isn't spinning fast enough it will not pick anything up off carpet leading many people to think they don't have suction. Check your belt.

You may have to change the batteries to make it work.. In the mean time just use it manually.....

Usually when a vacuum stops picking up it is because the brush roll isn't spinning or isn't spinning fast enough when vacuuming. It may spin fast when you look at it but not when you put it on the carpet. It takes a good tight belt and a good brushroll to vacuum properly.

Does everyone understand there is switch or button that controls the rotating brush? Brushes stop spinning automatically when vacuum cleaner is in the UPRIGHT POSITION.
Because now you should be using the hose and attachments

check brush by spinning with fingers it should only take slight pressure to rotate, if hard to rotate disassemble head and remove any carpet or hair strands

This unit has a reset button on the side of the hood. Recline handle, turn power switch on, pressing down in carpet mode, press reset buttonon the side of the hood, the brush should turn on.

You need to replace the belt that turns the brush.

I believe you need to change the belt that drives the brushes. When it gets stretched out, it will just spin on the axle of the motor or spin on the brush and smoke.
