Introduction

If your Shark Apex DuoClean Powered Lift-Away (Model-AZ1002) brush roll is not self-cleaning, then follow the steps of this repair guide. This self-cleaning brush roll is a mechanism that automatically removes tangled hair, debris, and pet fur to ensure optimal performance and prevent clogs for uninterrupted cleaning sessions. The brush roll not cleaning may be due to excessive hair wrapped around the brush, needing to be cleared, or filters could be full. If the brush roll itself is broken, you can follow this guide to replace it.
