Kenmore 34721 Upright Vacuum Questions & Answers
Roller won't turn,
Refer to your owner's manual on how to replace the belt. You have a broken belt if the vacuum is working fine but brush roll isn't turning. Either that or you have an option on your vacuum to turn the brush roll off???????
Motor varies in speed and smells light flickers
It sounds like the motor's going bad. I suggest replacing the motor or the vacuum, depending on the condition of the rest of the vacuum, and how much the service center charges for a new motor and service.
If it's an older vacuum, there are probably additional items showing wear and tear. This would make it more feasible to purchase a new vacuum.
It just turned off
Could be the cord, overload protector for the motor, or the motor itself.
Wont pick up dirt
Is the brush roll turning, if not then replace the belt. You may have a clog in the hose or in the dirt inlet down by the brush roll.
I bought a new vacuum

I don't have specific information on the Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner model number 116.31912100 or the part number 8174906, but I can provide you with general guidance on how to remove and install pedals on some vacuum cleaner models. Keep in mind that procedures may vary between models, so use the following as a general guide:
Removing the Pedal:
- Unplug the Vacuum Cleaner: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged to prevent any electrical accidents.

- Locate the Pedal Assembly: Identify the pedal assembly on the underside of the vacuum cleaner. It is usually connected to the height adjustment or other features.

- Disconnect Linkages: Some pedal assemblies are connected to linkages that control various functions. Disconnect any linkages carefully.
- Remove the Pedal Assembly: Once the tabs, screws, and linkages are disconnected, carefully remove the pedal assembly from its housing.
Installing the Pedal:
- Position the New Pedal: If you are replacing the pedal, position the new pedal in place.
- Reconnect Linkages: If your vacuum cleaner has linkages, reconnect them to the appropriate points on the new pedal assembly.
- Secure the Pedal: Use screws or tabs to secure the new pedal assembly in place. Make sure it is securely fastened.
- Test the Pedal: Manually operate the pedal to ensure that it moves smoothly and engages the desired function.
- Turn the Vacuum Cleaner Upright: Once the pedal is securely in place, turn the vacuum cleaner upright and plug it back in.
If you're uncertain about any steps or encounter difficulties, it's recommended to consult the user manual for your specific model or contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. They may provide detailed instructions or guidance tailored to your vacuum cleaner's model and part.
