  If your Shark Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up debris and has little to no suction with a solid yellow third indicator light, try the following: First, empty the dust cup. Then, check the floor nozzle and the connection between the hand vacuum and wand for any blockages and clear them. Also, remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair wrapped around the brushroll. Finally, inspect the filters and clean them if needed, ensuring they are completely air-dried before reinstalling.

  If the brushroll in your Shark Vacuum Cleaner's floor nozzle isn't spinning, immediately turn off the vacuum and remove any blockages before turning it back on. Ensure the hand vacuum is tilted back far enough for the brushroll to engage. If the floor nozzle has headlights and they aren't lit, detach and reconnect the hand vacuum, wand, and nozzle to resolve any connection issues.
