Why won't my Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner start?
Your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner might not start due to a few reasons: it could be unplugged from the wall outlet—ensure it's firmly plugged in and the ON/OFF switch is pressed. Also, check your household service panel for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse and reset or replace it as necessary. Lastly, loose hose electrical connections can also cause this issue; try reconnecting the hose ends.
How to fix a Kenmore 125.81614610 Vacuum Cleaner PowerMate that will not run when attached?
If the PowerMate on your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner isn't running when attached, first, ensure the PowerMate connections are firmly plugged in. Another common reason is a tripped overload protector in the PowerMate. Clear any caught or jammed items, then reset. If it continues to stop and start, you may need to clean the agitator and end caps and then reset. Also, check if the vacuum cleaner is in HARD FLOOR mode; if so, press the CARPET button to activate the PowerMate.
Why is my Kenmore 125.81614610 doing a poor job of dirt pick-up?
If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up dirt well, several factors could be at play. The dust bag might be full or clogged, so try changing the bag. There could be clogged airflow passages; clear them to improve suction. Dirty filters can also hinder performance, so clean or replace them. Ensure that you've selected the correct pile height setting and power level. Other potential causes include a hole in the hose (replace the hose), a worn PowerMate agitator (change the agitator), or the canister hood being open (close and latch it). Finally, a tripped overload protector in the PowerMate can cause this. Remove any obstructions, then reset. If the issue persists, clean the agitator and end caps, and then reset.
What to do if my Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner starts but shuts off?
If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner starts and then shuts off, the issue might be related to the hose or hood electrical connections; check these connections and reconnect the hose ends securely. Another possibility is a tripped overload protector in the PowerMate. In this case, remove any items that may be caught or jammed, then reset it. If the vacuum cleaner starts and stops again, clean the agitator and end caps, then reset.
