  Your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner might not be running due to a few reasons. First, ensure it's firmly plugged into the wall outlet and the desired setting is selected. Also, check the circuit breaker or fuse and reset or replace if necessary. If the thermal protector has tripped, allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for 50 minutes. Lastly, verify the wall outlet is working by testing it with another appliance.

  If the agitator on your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner isn't turning, make sure the handle is not in the full upright position; move it from that position. Also, check if the agitator overload protector has tripped, and if so, press the OVERLOAD PROTECTOR RESET button. Finally, ensure the switch is in the CARPET position and not the FLOOR position.

  If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up dirt well, consider these possibilities: * The dust bag might be full or clogged. If so, change the bag. * The pile height setting might be incorrect. Adjust the setting appropriately. * The agitator could be worn and in need of replacement. * The nozzle or bag holder might be clogged. Check for and remove any clogs. * The hose might be clogged, or have a hole. Check for clogs and replace the hose if needed. * Ensure the hose is fully inserted and the clean-out port is closed. * Dirty filters may be the issue. Clean or change the motor safety filter and exhaust filter.

Why is my Kenmore BU1005 Pet HandiMate[®] not picking up dirt well?

  If your Pet HandiMate[®] isn't picking up dirt effectively, the carpet pile might be entangled around the agitator; clean the agitator. Another cause might be that the suction control is open; close the suction control. Also, if the vacuum hose has a hole, replace the hose.

  If your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner is picking up moveable rugs or pushing too hard, the pile height setting is likely incorrect. Adjust the setting to suit your flooring.

Why is the airflow restricted and the sound different when using attachments on my Kenmore BU1005?
- A
  aleeAug 23, 2025
  When using attachments with your Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner, restricted airflow and sound changes can occur. This may happen because the attachment use restricts air flow, so check attachments for fuzz, lint, pet hair or other debris. Also, new carpet fuzz may clog the air path. Check for clogs and clean the hose.
