Introduction
This guide will provide instruction for replacing the motor of a Shark UltraCyclone CH951. The motor is the mechanical part of the vacuum that provides the suction. If the vacuum does not turn on or have suction, the motor may need to be replaced. The motor and the battery are attached in this model, so they will need to be taken out together.
