How do I tell if it's the hose or just a clog?
Detach the hose and pass something long and blunt through it to clear any blockage, then check the cuffs and flex points for splits. If airflow returns after clearing it, you had a clog; if the hose body is cracked or whistles under suction, it needs replacing.
Do I have to buy the genuine Shark part, or will a compatible one work?
Yes — a compatible (aftermarket) hose assembly works well in the Shark Rocket IX140 as long as it's made for this exact model. Aftermarket options can save up to 20.1% versus the genuine Shark part. Look for 4.3+ stars with plenty of reviews, and confirm the listing names your exact model.
