Brush stop and have to reset but stops again
Most likely on the edges of the brush, there's likely tons of hair and carpet wrapped on stopping the brush roller to spin. A worn or stretched belt could do this as well and trip the machine.

Hello,
if it does not turn on, then it means its having a power problem. it might have worked fine in the past, but that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby not making it to power on.
This unit must have a power supply board in it where power enters from the mains. A capacitor, fuse, diode, etc may have been defective on the power board and maybe that's why its not making the unit turn on. There might also be some disconnection or something, inside the unit which is not making it to power on.
To actually find out what's wrong, you need to disassemble the unit with a screw driver and check what's wrong. You will be needing a meter in order to test the components on the power board, once you detect any bad component, you can make necessary replacement at any electronics accessories store withing our vicinity. This is the only way by which you can detect the problem.
Of course, testing the power board with a meter will require someone that has the ability. So it you can't, then you might be needing the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability to help you out.
I wish you the best of luck.

My vacuum cleaner start up fine, then quickly
Hi There,
This is a telltale sign that your vacuum cleaner is clogged. When the motor makes the higher pitched louder noise, your motor is not able to pull air through it, and has to strain harder because it's not able to breath.
Because you have already narrowed it down, that the noise only happens when you put the wand back into the vacuum, this means that you clog is definitely in the bottom section of the vacuum cleaner. Most clogs on upright vacuum cleaner occur right at the suction port behind the roller brushes on the bottom of the machine. Turn the vacuum upside down so that the brushes are facing upwards. Unscrew the bottom plate of the machine so that you may access the roller brush and belt. Look behind the brush roller for the opening of the vacuum where the suction port it. Look inside here and see if you can visibly see anything lodged inside. Sometimes just pushing a long screw driver into this hole can dislodge the obstruction.
If you aren't able to see anything in this port, and the screw driver doesn't dislodge it, look inside the small section of how that the wand connects into, and try pushing your screw driver down this hose to see if you can dislodge it from this part.
Sometimes a metal hanger can also effectively unclog hoses on vacuum cleaners, but just be careful that the hanger doesn't tear the lower hose section while you're pushing it through.
Also if you have another vacuum in the home, using the hose from the other vacuum and putting it inside the lower hose, or the suction port behind the brushes while you're pushing with the screw driver will also many times dislodge the obstruction easier.
Please let me know if this was able to unclog the vacuum cleaner, and I'd be more then happy to try and do some more advanced diagnosing with you for your vacuum cleaner.
If this was helpful to you, please help other Fixya users find this repair by rating helpful. This is greatly appreciated, and is what keeps Fixya repair experts continue giving free advice on the site.
Thanks so much,
Chris J.

Removing and installing the pedal in kenmore upright vacuum cleaner - part no. 8174906; model no. 116.31912100
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.
- Turn the Vacuum Cleaner Over: Lay the vacuum cleaner on its back so that you have easy access to the underside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
