Where is the Shark reset button?

Answered by James Kissner

The Shark vacuum does not have a specific reset button like some other appliances. However, there are steps you can take to reset the vacuum and resolve any issues you may be experiencing.

1. Power button: The first step in resetting your Shark vacuum is to ensure that the power button is in the correct position. The power button is typically located on the handle or the body of the vacuum. Make sure the power button is in the “Off” or “On-Off” position, depending on the model you have. This will ensure that the vacuum is completely powered down before attempting to reset it.

2. Unplug the vacuum: Once you have turned off the power button, unplug the vacuum from the power source. This will help to ensure that the vacuum is completely disconnected from the electrical supply. It is important to unplug the vacuum before attempting any troubleshooting or resetting procedures.

3. Clear the hose: If you are experiencing any blockages or clogs in the vacuum, it is important to clear them before attempting to reset the vacuum. Check the hose and the attachments for any debris or obstructions that may be causing a loss of suction or other issues. Clearing the hose will help to improve the performance of the vacuum and may resolve any problems you are encountering.

4. Allow the vacuum to cool: If your Shark vacuum has overheated, it may automatically shut off for safety reasons. In this case, it is important to allow the vacuum to cool down completely before attempting to reset it. Unplug the vacuum and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to ensure that it has cooled down adequately.

5. Plug the vacuum back in: Once the vacuum has cooled down, plug it back into the power source. Ensure that the power button is still in the “Off” or “On-Off” position. This will allow the vacuum to reset itself and power back on. If the vacuum does not turn on automatically, you can try pressing the power button to manually turn it on.

By following these steps, you should be able to reset your Shark vacuum and resolve any issues you may be experiencing. If the problem persists after resetting the vacuum, it may be necessary to contact Shark customer support or seek professional assistance.
