Why is my Shark IW1000 Vacuum Cleaner not picking up debris?

  Margaret JohnsonAug 8, 2025
  If your Shark Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up debris and has little to no suction, with a solid yellow third indicator light, it could be due to several reasons. First, the dust cup might be full, so empty it. Second, 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. Lastly, the filters may need cleaning; rinse them and let them air-dry completely before reinstalling.

  If your Shark Vacuum Cleaner is turning off by itself, try these steps: First, turn on the vacuum and check the battery indicator lights, recharging if needed by placing it on the charging dock while powered off. Then, empty the dust cup and clean the filters. Check the wand, accessories, and inlet openings for any blockages. Allow the unit and battery to cool for at least 45 minutes to return to room temperature. Finally, press the On/Off switch to restart the vacuum.

  William MorrisAug 19, 2025
  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. Make sure 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.
