Question about Kenmore 31913 Progressive Direct Drive Bagged Upright Vacuum

Kenmore progressive vaccuum

The vacccuum is working fine until I put the Hepa filter into the spot in the vaccuum. When I do it emmitts a loud sound like something is constricting tubes. All tubes are clear. I have taken the cover off and everything looks fine, I sumize that the problem is with the plastic cannister when i put it into the vaccuum.. I have cleaned the entire unit.

I have the same issue. There is not enouph suction and it makes the noise described above. I took everything apart and can find no blockage. I read another comment that referenced reversing the air flow, because this seems to be the issue, but I cannot locate my manual and cannot find any kind of switch to change the air flow. I turned the hepa filter both ways and this did nothing. The noise decreases and stops when I turn the suction down (there is high, medium and low options.

Did you replace the hepa filter with a new one? Those filters may not look bad, but after a period of time and use, air is restricted thru them. They should be changed at least once per year.

Where do you put the prefilter on a miele canaster vaccuum

Hi If the power head isn't working it may be clogged. Try taking it apart to see if threads and general dirt has got in at the sides. Also without the power head if the Miele still isn't working then its a possibility that the on switch wiring is either loose or check the plug at the end of the power cord.

Kenmore progressive 360 vacuum cleaner has low suction

Check the tube that leads down to the brush head for clogging as well as any motor or HEPA filters. If that still shows nothing, take the cover off the brush head (like you're changing the belt) and look for obstructions in there. Usually, if you have low suction on the accessory hose, the problem is with a motor filter, HEPA filter, or a clog where the hose goes into the unit. If you have good suction on the accessory hose but none on the floor, it's usually in the brush head (clog or broken belt) Good luck

I was using the vacuum and noticed the filter had fallen down. It's making a very loud sound now. Appears the dirt might have gotten into the motor. Any way to clean this out? Any other thoughts?

Solution: cleaned out plugged hose lines. Changed filter and made sure it snapped into place and that bottom cap was secure. Also changed hepa filter and everything is good now.

Loud noise/Sounds clogged

You could have a clogged air filter and vacuum is not getting air to motor. You could have hair and string buildup on ends of roller brush. You can put a vaccum hose over a broom handle to clean it out. Also, check the little elbow of the hose at the bottom f vacuum where it bends.

Check the hose and dirt inlet for a blockage. Also the brush roll, check it to see if you can turn it or not by hand. If not, then something may have jammed it.
