20 Most Recent Kenmore 22612 Bagged Canister Vacuum Questions & Answers

HI There, When a Kenmore power nozzle cuts on and off, this usually indicates that your electrical hose has gone bad and has a short circuit somewhere. You can try and troubleshoot the hose to find out where the short is by trying to determine what position the hose is in when it cuts on and off, and try to isolate the short circuit by spinning the hose on both the end that plugs into the canister, as well as the end that plugs into the wand. Sometimes the short is in the wands, or even the swivel neck assembly on the power nozzle where the wands connect. I would say 9 times out of 10 though on Kenmore canisters, the problem is in the hose. Kenmore is actually manufactured by Panasonic, and the two brands use a lot of the same identical parts, including the electrical hose (most cases). If your Kenmore has a two position switch, with a setting for floors and carpets, then here's a link to the corresponding Panasonic hose that you can buy. The Panasonic hoses are a little more expensive then Kenmore, but the huge benefit is that they come 100% completely assembled, where as the Kenmore hose has to be assembled (which is extremely difficult even for me to do). Panasonic 3 Wire Electrical Suction Hose To Fit Kenmore Canisters On just a handful of Kenmore models, an additional modification has to be done with the internal switch. Kenmore must have had the hose modified so you'd have to buy the genuine Kenmore part, but luckily simply switching two wires on the switch will allow the Panasonic hose to work. Try just plugging in the hose into the vacuum first, and if it still doesn't work properly, then you can modify the switch. If you find that the short is in the wand or swivel neck, just use the comment field on this repair page and let me know, I'll be happy to follow up and walk you through either of these repairs as well. If this was helpful to you, please be so kind and rate the repair, or leave some feedback for me. This is greatly appreciated. Chris Jones GoVacuum.com

I had the same problem and could not find the other screws. You need to pry off the power cord retraction button, you will find two more screws under there. It's pretty easy after that!!!!

Here are the Sears links to purchase both the part and the manual.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. Kenmore 22612 Bagged Canister Vacuum. It sound sot be that it could be your electrical hose be have a short in it or your carbon brushes needs cleaning or replacement or the worst problem is that it could be your motor, fields or armature. Most motors can be rebuilt but I would check the simpler things 1st B4 you try to rebuilt or replace the motor.
I am not sure if Sears / Kenmore can download the owner’s manual from the website but I would suggest that you call the Sears / Kenmore Factory to have them send out a copy of the owners manual so that you can do it yourself or if that is not the way you want to do it contact your local vac dealer and they can help or call the factory for further assistance. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

There is some help in the link https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+116-31912100++upright+vacuum+cleaner+Removing+the+handle+release+pedal ..

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.

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