As Shark NV360 reviews, it is a very rugged vacuum cleaner. When maintained properly, it can easily serve you for several years. But nonetheless, the blue Shark vacuum is still just a machine. Occasionally, it will run into problems that will require you to fix it hands-on.
To make it easier for you to troubleshoot and fix any problem that you might have run into while using the NV360, here is a short maintenance guide with the most common problems (and their fixes!) for the NV360.
1. Shark Model NV360 Not Picking Up Any Dirt
Normally, the Shark 360 vacuum can suck clean any dirt particle on your floors. But, when it runs into this problem, no matter how many times you sweep the cleaning head over the dirty spot, the NV360 won't pick up anything.
There are many reasons why this happens.
2. Clogged Air Filters
First, it could be clogged air filters.
If the filters are obstructed by dirt or debris, air won’t be able to pass through the vacuum. As a result, there’s no suction.
The fix is simple enough: open up the vacuum’s filter compartments and check all three of the filters in the vacuum. There are two pre-motor filters (one foam filter and one felt filter) and one post-motor filter (a HEPA filter).
3. Full Dust Cup
If the dust cup is full, suction performance will dramatically decrease. Empty your dust cup and try again.
4. Clogged Suction Hose
Disconnect the suction hose from the vacuum. Look through it to see if there’s any obstruction in the hose. Clear up the obstruction.
Additionally, check the suction hose connector for any obstruction, as well.
5. NV360 Shark Vacuum’s Brush Roll Doesn’t Spin
If the brush roll doesn’t spin, immediately turn off the vacuum.
If the brush roll is jammed and you continue to run the vacuum, the drive belt will be at risk of snapping. A snapped drive belt will totally brick your vacuum until it is fixed (the replacement process is not simple, so you shouldn’t risk it.)
So, power down the vacuum and unplug the power cord.
Then, lay the vacuum on your lap with the cleaning head facing you. Look into the brush roll and check for any obstruction within.
If there are pets in your house, the hair can form into big clumps and entangle themselves in the brush roll’s bristle. This eventually causes the brush roll to jam up.
Fortunately, it’s relatively simple to extricate pet hair from the brush roll. Use a pair of scissors or a razor blade to cut through the hair strands, then pull them out of the brush roll with a pair of tweezers.
Large debris could have also been ingested by the vacuum and caused it to choke up, too. Peer into the cleaning head (use a flashlight if needed) and pick out the debris.
According to Shark Navigator NV360 reviews, plug the power back in when you’re certain that the obstruction has been cleared. Test the vacuum again to see if the problem has been fixed.
6. Shark Navigator NV360 Overheated and Shut Down

If your Shark NV360 vacuum’s motor becomes way too hot, it has a built-in safety mechanism that automatically shuts down the machine. Its purpose is to protect the motor from burning itself out.
Fortunately, there is nothing that you need to do in order to ‘fix’ this problem. Wait for around 30 or 45 minutes for the vacuum to cool down and you can use it again.
If your vacuum hasn’t overheated before, there could be a problem deeper inside the vacuum. Dirty filters are the most likely perpetrators. Dirt-caked filters prevent airflow from passing through the machine and cools down the motor.
In that case, remove the filters, clean them thoroughly, allow them to dry for 24 hours, then reinstall them back into the vacuum. Your NV360 should no longer become overheated.
Conclusion
These are three of the most common problems that the Shark navigator lift away deluxe NV360 often runs into. We hope it has been helpful!
