I bought mine at the thrift store today and the nipple in the tray is missing/broken

The belt malfunctioned causing the brush role to crack through the plastic housing around it. I do not think it is fixable

Maybe you should have put some 3 in 1 motor oil on the bearing to lubricate it when you were fixing your sharpener.

Thank you very much. This really helped a lot.

Thank you Tony. Your video helped so much for this repair. Appreciate you taking the time to help.

How often do you clean the Pencil shavings tray I will be getting this on Saturday? :-)

Mine was not working because of the tension spring popped out and I lost the pin screw it had. I’m going to rig something for it

Perfect exactly what I needed!👍👍

Heat the belt up with boiling hot water and put it on. So you don't have to take the gear apart.

Excellent video! Short and to the point. I like how you explained everything in a way you could understand and in a very friendly/patient voice. It was oddly relaxing, an ASMR feel even. Your cat probably thought you were working on opening a can of tuna, wondering why it was taking you so long to open it. 😂 Thanks for the helpful video!

Thanks dude. Appreciate the video

excellent video- easy to see

Perfect video!! Got the part you said I would need. My husband was able to replace the belt with ease. My Shark front roller is back to working. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for the helpful hints from an old school Grandma. Nice video.

EXCELLENT video - Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to put it together! You are a lifesaver for me!

Ugh. Mine is a slightly different model and i couldn't get the last bit apart. Ended up tossing it. What a piece of junk. I will never buy another one.

Many thanks for sharing 🙏

I was about to give up trying to fix it, especially since I thought I bought the wrong belt size and then I ran across your video and it was the right side that snapped!! Thank you!

One thing to add to this EXCELLENT video is that there is a second smaller belt at the other end of the roller that drives the front brush. When reseating the main roller make sure it gets inserted into that second belt. That belt is not under tension so you shouldn't have to remove it's panel. My vac works great, but I now hate the company for this.

WOW!! What a terrific, helpful video. You're a champion! Thanks so much!

As a busy mom who vacuums every single day and who is also tight on money post holiday season… I am SO incredibly grateful for this video. Thank you for being thorough and slowly explaining everything. Seriously, this saved me a few hundred bucks, and for that I really appreciate you!

Great job explaining, thanks so much!!

Dude you are amazing. Saved me a lot of grief.

Thank you for this video!! Got ours fixed

Good video Tony. One of the few videos that really works. Thank you.

Thank you SO much for this clear and easy to follow video! My husband recently passed away so I'm learning how to do things like this around the house. Got this task done in about 15 minutes. 😊

Thanks for the video. The bigger roller was moving, but with great difficulty. The red light was coming on after a few seconds. The problem ended up being gunk/dirt/etc being stuck on the end of the roller inside the housing. It had built up so it was impinging the movement of the roller. It would move but only with extra manual force. Once I watched your video it helped me know how to get the parts apart. (Shark sure makes it hard to repair their stuff. Part of their business model it looks like. As a result next time we buy a vacuum it will definitely not be a Shark.) I was able to get it all cleaned up and functioning properly - but only after watching this video and going to home depot to buy the specialized tool that it requires due to the very specialized screws Shark uses. Thanks

How much did you pay for the cartridge filters? I have trouble finding them online for less than 60 each. Most of the time they're over 75

You sound like Tom Cruise

Excellent! I lightly taped spring holders so they wouldn't fall out when I went to remove the gear; it worked great!!

Is it UV700 or NV700? I could only find NV700

Mine quit working. I was able to get it apart & resolve the issue thanks to your video. I so, appreciated this today.

Thank you for your video!

Thank you for taking time to show us this. I am grateful and think people should get credit where credit is due. Kudos and I'm glad you did this video.

Thank you for this video! You saved me time and money!

Thanks for posting- I just finished swapping out the belt using the torx bits you described- we've always owned Kenmore vacs- Sears had great parts support, but Shark's is nonexistent- thanks again!

Thanks for the video! I wish I had watched it before I took my AZ1002 head completely apart! Anyway, my front roller belt was broken, so I ordered the set of 3 from your link, plus a new aftermarket soft roller. I watched another video from a repair shop about the manufacturer. While it is true you cannot buy any internal parts from them and they do wear out, I must admit it is the best vacuum I have ever had, and over the last 50 years, I have worn out many! A couple of the “best of 2023” reviews still list this type of vacuum as the best for hardwood, tile, and carpet! I tend to fix, not throw away appliances.

Lift-off feature-so convenient!

You are awesome and this was an incredibly helpful video. I have the exact same pencil sharpener and it's about 7 years old. Two months ago it stopped working and starting making the humming noise. I thought about buying a new one but decided to try fixing it first and found your video. I now have a fully functional pencil sharpener again. Thanks so much!

Well I guess I’m going to call Shark for a full replacement head because my belt is intact, but sticking out the side of the machine. Sucked up a rug edge and broke through the cheap plastic side piece!

Can you post the link for the screws

You’re a vacuum saver! Thank you so much. I fixed my shark vacuum thanks to your video. I am so grateful. You’re awesome! 😍👏🏻

I bought one a long time ago still in the box, It has never been used, but it does not work :(

What happens if you put a pen and a pencil sharpener:)

Great fix

Thank you for this video, I just ordered every should be here tomorrow.. I love this vacuum.. plus I went ahead and order new filters and much need items . I’ve had this for almost four years now so it’s needed all these extras.. thanks again ❤

Your video was exactly what I needed! I to have the easy 1002 vacuum cleaner and the belts I ordered on Amazon was close to the gates model you had said. Mine was HTD 153-3M. I too started to take all the screws off the bottom, and then I realize I may not get to where I needed to go so then I googled for information and found your Thanks a lot good job

Awesome video! I fixed my Shark when I thought I was going to have to scrap it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this, was able to get my shark vacuum working again. Had to use a safety pin and flathead to clear debris from the roller brush

I cannot find the part number to order on Amazon… help!!!
