Introduction

The roller brush helps to pick up dirt deep in the carpet or stuck to the floor. If the roller brush is no longer rotating, you may have to remove it and clean or replace it. Follow these steps to remove the roller brush.

Tools

Step 1

Lift the latches on both sides of the vacuum to release the dust canister.
Remove the dust canister from the vacuum by lifting it up.

Removing the dust canister is not necessary.

Step 2

Lay down the vacuum to access the bottom panel of the roller brush compartment.

Instead of laying down the whole vacuum, remove the cord from the hooks, then, using the red button/lever on the side, detach the vacuum from the base. https://youtu.be/gQmme4xespU?t=69

Step 3

Using the metal spudger, pry the two small wheels located at the two bottom corners of the vacuum to remove them.

It needs to be noted that this step will VOID the warranty!

You can also use a small slot screwdriver to push directly on the metal rods that hold the wheels.

Step 4

Remove the eight 19mm Phillips #2 screws from the plastic cover.
Remove the two 14 mm Phillips #2 screws from the upper section of the plastic cover.

Leave the orange screws in. Removing the wheels is not necessary and does not make the repair easier.

the whole floor unit can be removed which makes the job A LOT EASIER.

Step 5

You will need to apply a strong force while pulling the wheels off because they are attached very tightly.
Remove the wheels by pulling them out of their axles, away from the vacuum.

Any advice on putting the wheels back on the vacuum? I cannot get the metal axle pins back into the socket all the way, and I’m hesitant to just bang them in.

Im not even sure taking out the wheels is necessary. They dont appear to be attached to the purple plate.

Step 6

Perform the next step slowly and carefully so the wiring connecting the motherboard to the rest of the vacuum is not broken.
Gently pull the grey lower part of the roller brush compartment away from the purple upper part of the compartment.
