HI, it's Jim from Crucial Vacuum!

If your Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum is making a loud noise while it's on then there's definitely a clog somewhere. Here' s a few places you should check prior to plugging in the vacuum and turning it on.

The first place to check would be the brush roll and belt. If you notice visible debris, like strands of hairs, or long carpet fibers this could be catching on the brush roll and causing it not to turn fully. Be sure to clear this debris from the brush roll and manually spin the brush roll a few times after you do so to help unearth and any other clogs. This may be the reason for the noise and its crucial that this part of your vacuum is clog free.

Another part of your vacuum to check would be your hose. Detach the hose and stretch it out as much as you can to see if any debris or clumps of dust are stuck inside. Using a broom handle can help if you see a clog, but it won't come out after you've stretched out the hose.

Another big factor would be a dirty filter in your vacuum. Most manufacturers recommend you change your filter on average every 3-6 months. However, it is recommended to change your filter even earlier depending on usage and allergy care. The cleaner your filters the less debris will get stuck in your vacuum, causing less clogs and overall less odd noises while vacuuming.

My Shark Navigator, makes loud noise when switched to carpet. It's not clogged and there isn't any hair wrapped around rollers. How can I troubleshoot this?

They are all called 'Navigator' :>D
https://www.google.com/search?q=Shark+Navigator

When switch to carpet, the difference is that the brush roller turns. When it is on hard floors setting it doesn't. Remove the base plate, remove the brush and the belt. There is likely something wrapped around the drive spindle or clutch.

My shark navigator won't pick up model # NV 26 the brush won't roll

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

If your the brushroll is not moving there could be several problems

Firstly, the motor may be the problem. If you hear any noises while the machine is running, you should contact the original manufacturer for troubleshooting solutions.

Secondly, your vacuum may be in need of new parts. By changing either the brush roll or belts, you should be able to increase the quality of the suction.

Sounds like you broke the brush belt. Easy to replace and most come with a replacement attached somewhere on the vacuum. The light is probably just burned out from the impact
