Kenmore is a brand that has been around since the early 1900s. If you didn't know, Sears filed bankruptcy, so there are very few locations that still carry and fix Kenmore vacuums.
So, what do you do if you own a Kenmore? We've got you covered! We do repair on Kenmore.
This video will address the typical issues people run into with their Kenmore Canister vacuum and how you can run a simple test to identify which of these issues your vacuum is experiencing.
Tip 1: Remove your hose, wand, and power head. Take a penny and drop it through your hose- does the penny come out the other side? If so, it is free of debris. Do the same with your wand and floor tool.
Tip 2: If it still doesn't suck, check your bag, then check your filters.
IF it is still not sucking, it is time to bring it in for us to take a look!
The issue may be your swivel assembly, which we do have available on our website here:
www.vac.md/product-page/vacuu...
But for any questions, or to access our entire selection, simply give our store a call!
Thanks for watching!

Took the whole thing apart in frustration.. for some reason never thought to check the handle. Totally clogged. Didn’t think of it. Thank you.

Thank you! That penny trick worked. It should have been obvious, but it was not. I tried everything too, there was suction, so I assumed no clog. I always forget how powerful it should be. Cleared it and good to go.

I have a Kenmore canister, model 125.81614160. I was using it at work when suddenly the power switched off, and hasn't come back on since. How do I check the motor to see if it went out? I've already got the vacuum disassembled. I simply need to know how to test the motor. Thanks!

I have this same vacuum. I love it but the agitator has hair wrapped around it and it is making a weird loud clicking sound because I think I accidentally got something caught in the part that contains the agitator (not the canister part.) What do I need to do to fix this?
@kimberly.thomason
@kimberly.thomason 2 года назад
You might need to open up the power nozzle. I don't have a video about this. It usually is just a few screws on the bottom to release the top cover and access everything. Call/text us if you have questions 561-558-9339

my vacuum was working fine then it took a tumble and the cuff came apart between thee hose and the part with the clip. I tried to see if it just screwed back on but it doesn't seem to. Any suggestions or do I need to take it to the repair shop? 😊

Is there a RESET button one can re-activate on an old Kenmore HEPA vacuum we bought from Sears eons ago that suddenly stopped working>
@kimberly.thomason
@kimberly.thomason Год назад
There are resets on some Kenmore’s but it would be located on the power nozzle and pretty easy to see.

The question is, if clogged, how do you remove the stuck debris?? I like this vacuum but it is not engineered very well with pulling the hose around. The cuff around the hose cracked very soon after my purchase and the clip that keeps the hose in the vacuum broke : ( Cheap plastic probably made to break.

The other thing that bothers me is, how is the air getting out the back when the other side of the HEPA filter is a solid chunk of plastic. It makes me want to put small venting holes there so the air actually leaves the space instead of just the hot air staying there and getting the motor hotter as well. We had an older unit that also went dead but wasn't sure we could still get the motor for this older model up here in Canada.

Oh wow. Yes, some vacuums are not designed in the most efficient ways....
@philsalvatore3902
@philsalvatore3902 Год назад
This is an intelligent Panasonic design. After the air passes through the exhaust HEPA filter vents on the side blow the air across the cord reel contacts to cool them. After that the air exits holes in body that are hidden behind the wheel on the cord reel side, and some comes out of the cord opening. On upscale models the circuit board is also cooled this way.

​@@philsalvatore3902 yes mine is like that. Both the circuit board and the cord reel vents are cooled with the air. They did their best to reinvent the vacuum with this one. This is like when Toyota built the Corolla and everything came together with technology and price and features you actually need and reliability then in the end you got a machine that has everything you need and is overbuilt and will last you a lifetime especially if you take care of it. Amazing product. My mother bought the 400 and a pet canister. Both are nice. I used both and they both pick up dirt. Yay.

Sounds like a wand issue, but the best thing would be to call us or bring it into a local vacuum store if you have one nearby.

I guess I'm the only guy that picks it up while vacuuming then because i don't like track marks behind me! Ours right now is turning on then off we are thinking that it's heating up but the cord and the outlet are not getting hot at all, so I thinking it must be the switch to turn it on and off for some reason? MMM

How do I get the smell out of this vacuum
@kimberly.thomason
@kimberly.thomason 2 года назад
Definitely use fresh wave every time you vacuum… www.vac.md/product-page/5-25-oz-vacuum-beads We sometimes put these in a new bag and let the vacuum run for 10 min before using it. But consistent use of these will definitely remove and prevent odors. There are other products out there (powders) but they ruin vacuums, so don’t be fools by those.
@philsalvatore3902
@philsalvatore3902 Год назад
@@kimberly.thomason Take it apart and wash the body, motor housing and the foam around the motor in hot water with a little detergent, alcohol and clear cider vinegar. Two screws are next to the bag lid hinges and two more are hiding next to the exhaust filter. Remove those and it comes apart simply. Wash the parts and dry everything thoroughly before reassembling it. When you put it back together install new filters, replace the foam pre-motor filter with the Kenmore CF-1 and always use a Kenmore brand style Q synthetic microfiber dust bag.
