What if just the plastic gear is bad? Where can I find a replacement that will slip on and be attached properly. In many of these units that gear cracks with age, add do the end holders for the brush. I'm not sure where to obtain the proper gear, the number of teeth it has, the size of the gear, or the size of the hole. Help would be greatly appreciated as for a Ten cent part , SHARK ridiculously and very unjustly, wants me to buy a whole new unit for $50 plus shipping, but I can buy a brand-new one at Amazon for $48 . Still both are ridiculous for a $0.10 part. I have seen where I can get plastic gears but I am unsure of the size and how to attach it properly. The old one sweat and the motor spins freely inside the gear.
Thank you. This is my problem. The hole in the plastic gear isn't big enough for the metal rod on the motor. I have no idea, but I would like to find a roller also. I've wathched my husband take out hair from the roller, but maybe a part fell on the floor when i ipened the brush cover. Thank you

This is the closest I’ve come to finding out how to fix the motorized brush. Thank you. Everything works fine, but what I need now is the little white plastic piece that goes on the motor’s drive axle. Mine is cracked and keeps sliding off. Since Shark.com doesn’t go into this type of detail, is there a generic equivalent I can use? If so, where can I get one, or some. I suppose superglue would work, but I would rather get a new piece.
Any idea where a can get replacement gears
