Why is my Shark Vacuum Cleaner not picking up debris?

If your Shark Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up debris, it could be due to a few reasons. First, empty the dust cup and check the filters; clean them if necessary, and ensure they are completely air-dried before reinstalling. Also, check the floor nozzle for any blockages and clear them. Make sure to remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair wrapped around the brushroll or Soft Roller. Finally, ensure the brushroll cover is locked in place by turning the nozzle upside down, using a coin to turn the three locks counterclockwise, pushing down on both sides of the cover until it clicks, and then turning the locks clockwise to close.
