Thank you for sharing this solution! 4 years after it helped me out today. We've always just cleaned the lower paper cutter, but that wasn't enough anymore. The was a lot of glue on the top one. Thanks, buddy!
Many thanks for the informative video. After stopping at a vacuum/sewing machine repair shop with no luck on finding a replacement hose (they hated Shark vacuums), I took to Amazon and bought a hose online. Took 5 mins to put in the new hose, reconnect the wires and put the cover back on. Easy as pie!
There is no need to cut or connect any wires I remove the hose the opposite way that You did I remove the bottom plate remove the bottom of the hose and unscrew the top part of the hose
I tried this with a shark rocket HV380w (a newer model). Every screw is a security screw and the hose is glued on both sides. The hose on the motor side has a rubber collar bonded to the plastic which appears that shark has now made the motorized floor nozzle extremely difficult (near impossible) to repair even with a replacement hose bit. The glue, even with using acetone, is near impossible to remove. It appears they have changed the hose size several times between models and if your host diameter is off by 1-3 mm it won't thread. The cost of sending in the vacuum is approximately $20 if its under warranty. I ended up abandoning the project and unfortunately had to buy a replacement part from the manufacturer. If this happens to part that I ordered from shark, I will likely find another brand. Shark needs to support peoples right to repair by designing their products to have the hose (and other parts) to be replaced easier or they will need to design a more heavy duty hose section that does not break down.
@caseeverett6585 Were you able to fix it? I’m having the same problem. I cannot get the hose to thread. I’ve struggled with this for hours! There is glue that won’t come off, and the replacement hose I bought on Amazon seems like it is too stiff and just a millimeter too large. I’ve tried EVERYTHING, for hours to twist the hose. (I’m about to give up… but if Shark has an on brand replacement hose, I’ll try ordering that.) 😢
@@lmperfection I was unable to repair this item even with getting the glue off as the hose would not thread. The Amazon replacement section is a better hose section (less likely to break) but the diameter/thread seems to be off by 1-3 mm. I had to buy a new motorized floor nozzle attachment for $75. I will likely not buy another Shark vacuum after this.
I believe the collar at the lower end comes off Thread into collar then scrim to what. Replace collar. No need to disconnect wires if you remove lower collar.
Thanks for info and video. If this has already been mentioned, my apologies. I discovered the wires (for HV301) do not need to be cut. Instead the black attachment for the lower hose can be removed from the lower attachment. You can then reverse screw the hose then reattach into the slot.
Great video!! Before I watched it, I had told my wife that the sweeper was done. Went back out to the shop and "unscrewed" the old hose and put in the one from the attachment that my wife never used. Without your video, I was done. Thanks!
Worked great …..I used the hose from the floor duster device (got that tip from another RU-vid video) you don’t need to cut the wires…just line up the hose in the two parts and turn…thanks for the video
Thank you for this great video. I have another problem with my Epsom c3500 printer. It shows error 3 and we have been cleaning and whiping without any result :( thought you might have a hack for fixing error 3?
Very good video! Hose measurement 6 1\4" x 1 1/4" is correct for my model HV300 which i ordered from Amazon. However it seemed a lot stiffer and perhaps a little larger in diameter than the one in the video and was a little tricky to fit in place. ( didn't disconnect the wires as shown in video) Video was thorough from beginning to end so I was able to fix my vac myself! Woo-hop! I am woman! 💪💃
Just to add there were three locking screws made out of plastic on the underneath side where the brush is. You locked the two on the sides of the brush but the one in the middle lower down you forgot to turn to the locked position.
I'm having an issue where i keep getting paper jam error 03 on this exact printer model. I've tried everything, from cleaning the sensor and shooting compressed air throughout the paper path in hope of blowing out an small debris that might be tricking the sensor to no avail. Even with no paper inserted i still hear a noise is if the rollers abruptly stop and get that paper jam error. Any suggestions?
Okay I don't have the same exact model but you help me find my problem with my broken hose. the first problem solved, by the way it was blowing the dirt back out at me and I couldn't figure out how. Lol great job 😄 Well now a New problem!
I had a shark attachment that I had never used in the 6 years I've owned my shark so I took that apart and took the hose from that (so completely free repair). I didn't have to cut wires as it was pretty simple to change them over since watching your vid but getting the casing to click back together was a real challenge! However, since taking the bottom unit apart the upper suction isn't working as effectively as the lower unit won't stop sucking when it's completely upright. Even if I take the upper unit off using the liftaway function. Has anyone else experienced this? I was hoping that I wouldn't need to buy a new vacuum but I think after 6 years I may have to :(
This Vac is so terrible. The hose so small that it constantly clogs and you have to open the bottom and get out the clog. Once I got the clog out, the suction is still bad, so I resorted back to my cheap vac. This is my second Shark, and they are flops.
You don't have to cut the wires. The front part comes out of the front of the vacum. That way you screw the tube into the back and then you can screw on the front piece and put back into the front hole .
Thank you thank you. I have replaced my Shark lower hose. It was a little tricky getting the old one out. I ordered the 1 1/2" X 6" from Amazon. It's actually better quality than the original. If it wasn't for your video, I would have had to trash my beloved Shark!
