20 Most Recent Kenmore 33078 Bagged Upright Vacuum Questions & Answers

Most vacuum uses one belt at a time. The belt connects the agitator (beater bar) to the roller which is driven by the motor of the vacuum in the base of the upright vacuum.

To check if the belt is present/intact on the vacuum, look at the sides of the base for two latches. Push the latches away from each other then lift up to remove the cover so that you can check or replace the belt. To replace the belt, lift the agitator out of the base (first lift the right side). Cut off the old belt with scissors if it is still intact before pulling on the agitator. You may need to pull the bumper forward to get the beater bar out of the base. To put on the new belt, slide it onto the roller of the motor then onto the pulley of the agitator. Replace the beater bar in the housing. Start with the left end cap and make sure to keep the arrow pointing down on both sides of the part. Make sure that the agitator turns and center the belt before reattaching the cover.

While you have cover off, check for anything wrapped around the agitator. Remove anything that prevents the beater bar from turning freely. Make sure the area around the agitator is clear of any clogs.

However, if the belt is missing, the volume of dirt picked up will be less but not zero. It is more likely that the unit is clogged. There are several filters that need regular cleaning or replacement. The motor filter is at the bottom of the vacuum bag cavity. It should be cleaned with warm soapy water then rinsed completely. Squeeze out the excess water and then let it air dry. Wait until it is dry before reassembling the vacuum.

An exhaust filter also needs regular cleaning. This is behind the dust cover near the bottom of the area covered by the cover. To remove the dust cover, pull forward and then lay it down. To clean, put the filter under cold running water. Then air dry completely before reassembling the vacuum cleaner.

Finally check if the hose is clogged. First remove the hose by grasping it near the base and twisting it as you pull it away from the vacuum. Pull the hose completely straight then plug in and turn on your vacuum. Stretch out the hose and then let it relax into its storage configuration. Turn off the vacuum and then unplug it. Check for and remove any clumps of dirt stuck in the hose before replacing the hose.

If you have cleaned the vacuum and it is still not picking up dirt, try a different pile height setting on the vacuum. Also check if the agitator should be replaced.

This manual gives the pictures of the various parts that need to be cleaned or replaced regularly.

I hope this helps.

you will be able to find a replacement belt at your local vacuum repair shop, or at your local well stocked hardware stores. also some sewing shops carry vacuums and they might havethe belt that you are looking for. just open up your yellow pages phone book and look under vacuum supplies and repair,, and there you go.

there is an overheat stat which cuts out motor if insufficient air flow. there must be a blockage you hav'nt found - probably in the air path from the brush roll to the fan

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:

1. Unplug the Vacuum Cleaner: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged to prevent any electrical accidents.
2. Turn the Vacuum Cleaner Over: Lay the vacuum cleaner on its back so that you have easy access to the underside.
3. 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.
4. Release Tabs or Screws: Look for tabs or screws securing the pedal assembly in place. Use a screwdriver or the appropriate tool to release these tabs or screws.
5. Disconnect Linkages: Some pedal assemblies are connected to linkages that control various functions. Disconnect any linkages carefully.
6. Remove the Pedal Assembly: Once the tabs, screws, and linkages are disconnected, carefully remove the pedal assembly from its housing.

Installing the Pedal:

1. Position the New Pedal: If you are replacing the pedal, position the new pedal in place.
2. Reconnect Linkages: If your vacuum cleaner has linkages, reconnect them to the appropriate points on the new pedal assembly.
3. Secure the Pedal: Use screws or tabs to secure the new pedal assembly in place. Make sure it is securely fastened.
4. Test the Pedal: Manually operate the pedal to ensure that it moves smoothly and engages the desired function.
5. 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.

There isn't one! I checked yesterday when I answered your first question. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenwood+bu4022+service+manual ..

It should be in the power head to the side of the hinge. Sears says there are no parts presumably because it has reached its service life. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/61rux2nv6w-000582/kenmore-bu4022-upright-vacuum-parts https://www.google.com/search?q=kenmore+intuition+bu4022+replace+power+head+switch ..

The hose assembly model number 11621714110 is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part for use with a variety of appliances, including vacuum cleaners and washing machines. This hose assembly may be used to connect various parts of the appliance, such as the pump and the tub, or to connect the appliance to a water source. I hope this information is helpful!

Hi, I'm getting 13.7 cubic feet. To reconfirm, you can call kenmore customer service by dialing 1-844-553-6667. Thank you.

lock stuck open or broke

More likely to be a bad connection or brushes on the motor that need replacing. Classic symptom of bad / worn brushes.

Press and hold the filter reset button for 3 seconds to reset the indicator. The control may need to be replaced if it isn't able to reset. [url=http://spacebarcounter.org]Spacebar counter[/url]

Thank you very much. I'm up and running again. My retractable cord jump track and got stuck. Thank you thank you. And I did it myself with your directions. Linda

It isn’t the belt. Hair builds up in other places besides the brush. The device is made to come apart. Take it apart an clean out both ends on the shaft of roller brush. Remove tangled hair on the shaft and the brushes.

There is a connector somewhere in the bottom that will have gotten debris and stuff in it. Unplug the power first then clean it all contact pins that transfer power. Compressed air works the best but the effect can be gained by using a toothpick. Clearing out the connectors should restore the power to the head. If one or the other stops then its a different problem. This seems to be a full failure in the elements of the head that require power. DO NOT WORK ON ANYTHING STILL PLUGGED IN!!!
