how do you clean the brushroll on a shark navigator lift away? it's making a weird noise

A noisy brushroll usually means something is tangled around it. Here's how you clean it.

1. Unplug the vacuum first.
2. Flip the vacuum over so you can see the brushroll cover.
3. You'll need to manually remove any hair, string, or debris wrapped around the brushroll. This is a standard maintenance measure.
4. Check both ends of the brushroll, as debris often gets wound into the bearings.
5. Once clear, manually spin the brushroll. It should rotate freely and quietly.

If that didn't work, the noise might be from a worn bearing or a foreign object inside the brushroll chamber. You may need to remove the cover for a more thorough inspection.

Heads up: Regularly clearing the brushroll prevents motor strain and maintains cleaning performance on carpets.
