TIP:
Make sure the unit is reclined; the brush roll won't spin in the upright position.

Follow these steps to fix your brush roll:

  1. The brush rolls are not removable from the unit.
  2. We recommend rotating them manually from the bottom and cutting any tangle you might encounter.

WARNING: If you notice a burnt smell, your belt may be damaged. Please contact customer service

NOTE: If troubleshooting attempts fail, we need to replace the whole nozzle. Do not attempt to change the belt on your own. 

NOTE: If you have tried to troubleshoot and need to fill a warranty claim, please visit our Warranty Information page for more information on how to do so.
