Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Shark Cordless Detect Pro, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the auto-empty dock is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
- Loss of Suction: Check the dust cup and auto-empty base for fullness. Clean all filters (pre-motor and post-motor HEPA) as per the full instruction manual. Ensure there are no blockages in the nozzle, wand, or hose.
- Brushroll Not Spinning: Clear any obstructions from the brushroll. Ensure the floor nozzle is properly attached to the wand.
- Auto-Empty Not Working: Verify the vacuum is correctly seated on the dock. Check if the auto-empty base is full or if there are any blockages in the emptying path.
- Short Runtime: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Using Boost mode frequently will reduce runtime. Consider cleaning in Eco or Auto mode for longer battery life.
