      James PerezAug 4, 2025
      If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up dirt effectively, consider these potential causes: * The dust bag might be full or clogged, so you should change the dust bag. * There might be clogged airflow passages that you need to clear. * The filters could be dirty, requiring cleaning or changing. * The pile height setting may be incorrect; adjust it accordingly. * The suction control position may be wrongly selected; adjust the suction control. * There may be a hole in the hose, requiring you to replace the hose. * The PowerMate® brushroll could be worn, so change the brushroll. * The canister hood may be open; close and latch the hood.

      Katherine TylerAug 16, 2025
      If the cord on your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner won’t rewind, it could be due to a dirty power cord, try cleaning it. Alternatively, the cord might be jammed, in which case you should pull it out and rewind it.

    How to stop my Kenmore BC3002 from picking up rugs?
    • G
      Gloria JonesAug 22, 2025
      If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner is picking up moveable rugs or the PowerMate® pushes too hard, it might be due to the wrong pile height setting; adjust it accordingly. Also, the suction might be too strong; reduce suction by turning the suction control on the handle base to open the airflow hole.
