Shark Cordless Sweeper Troubleshooting

Shark Cordless Sweepers are a popular alternative to heavy, awkward vacuum cleaners. They are quiet and light, in addition to the fact that they hold their charge for a long period of time. They stand on their own and do not need to be propped up. These sweepers are also known to do a good job picking up debris on tile floors. As with any appliance, however, you are likely to run into some problems. Try troubleshooting them first before calling in a repairman.

Power
Your sweeper needs power to operate and so, if your unit is not working, recharge the battery. If that does not solve your problem, check to make sure that there is power coming from the electrical outlet you have been using to charge the adapter. You can do this by plugging in another item, such as a lamp or radio. If the outlet is not functioning, perhaps you blew a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker. Replace any needed fuses and reset the breaker if necessary. If the outlet is working, then you will need to call Customer Service because the problem is with your sweeper.

Dust Container
If your sweeper will not pick up any dirt, your dust container may be full. Empty the container, replace it and see if that solves your problem. If you find that dust is escaping from the sweeper, more than likely your dust container is overflowing and you will need to empty it again.

Rotating Brush
If you find that the rotating brush will not pick up any dirt, your unit may be clogged. Your brush may have excessive material on it, or there may be an abundance of dirt on the bottom of the sweeper. Remove any obstructions from the sweeper and/or the brushes. The rotating brush will also not turn if the dust container is full.
