When I turn on my shark lift away, the lights will come on but the vacuum doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t make any noise, the brush doesn’t move but the lights do come on very bright. Any suggestions of what could be wrong?
@skelly64 use something like this video to work on your vacuum. Since your lights are bright, and you seem to think brighter than usual, I would suggest that you use a multimeter and check if there is actually power going to the motor. Once you have your vacuum partially disassembled it might help you out if you post pictures so we can continue to guide you Adding images to an existing question All you should need for this check would be your basic hand tools (screwdrivers etc.) and a run of the mill multimeter. Nothing fancy.
motor bad, brushes jammed causing the overload to trip, or an interlock switch open because it is bad or the parts are not assembled correctly.
