how do i get the brushers to work again?

They probably need to be taken off and cleaned. Sometimes hair and fuzz, etc get wrapped around the brushes which makes it difficult for them to turn.

The only time my brushes haven't worked is whn I didn't have the return water container seated properly. I'd suggest you check that.

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

Try taking out the batteries and putting them back in or replace them all together

If turning it off and on doesn't help, try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Also, check the little bar that runs across the top of the rake, make sure it isn't stuck, it needs to be able to move. I've had them stick many different places, and always got them moving again, may have to apply a LITTLE pressure, just a little push, but usually it will move.

A solution to the brushes not turning or the shaft breaking would be at the time of cleaning, be sure and remove any fuzzy ball that build up with cleaning. The inside of the brush housing gets carpet fuzz all over the inside along with fuzz on the brushes. AS you rinse this, it balls up and clogs the "gears" on the side of each brush. Be sure to fish these out and make sure the brushes turn freely as you clean. You made need forceps or tweezers to pull these fuzz balls out, but this is key to proper function

I guess you have considered a broken belt? Also, were both top buttons turned on? Is anything binding the brush (something- like string or other soft item) the brush? I haven't had that problem so I'm just throwing things at the wall. Good luck.

I had the same issue then I read that you need to clean the plate in the unit often. So you need to get like a took brush of something you can clean that little black disc inside with then clean it and then your unit will work again. Thank you

Just brush heads when they wear out and batteries. They sell replacement heads on Amazon. They aren't that expensive.

This is my 3rd brush from them and I've never seen a way to program it in any way except the couple of cycles you can choose from...Sorry :-(

Try to blow out the switch. Then if that does not work, take it apart to see if there is any dust clogging the movement. Look at the brushes to see if they are good, replace if necessary. Look at the contacts, make sure they are clean.

To Jennifer Wagner, you may have the brush setting too low which will cause strain on the brush and its belt. Re-adjust the setting and this may solve your problem.

No, they are no rechargeable. The old brush was a plug where you could keep it charged, but the new one has batteries that need to be replaced.

It's been a long time, but as I recall that was what I had. I checked the motor and it worked, so I replaced the board and that fixed it. Hope this helps.

Check your batteries or try replacing them. I have not experienced that a problem with my toothbrush. Hope this information is helpful.

We personally don't have this problem on our 2 brushes. Either the wrong heads as described by James or maybe you don't push them hard enough on the brush? They needs quite some force to lock onto the actuator.

I would ask the manufacturer about replacement brushes. I emailed with him about the brush when I bought it and found him very helpful.

Any Ace Hardware should be able to take care of the problem. Bring a sample of any remaining screws or the assembly instructions will/should have the sizes of the parts needed - that should put you back in business. Happy shoveling.
