Kenmore 200/400/600 Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner Electrical Repair
はじめに
手順 1 に進むThis vacuum is designed to break.
Our housecleaners buy 3-4 of these low end canister vacuums per year. They like them because of the light weight, but they don’t last. Usually it’s the hose. Here’s what I did to troubleshoot and then get them running again (one day when they did not have a spare in the car).
Covered models include:
- 400 Series Model 81414 (125.81414610),
- 200 series Model 81214
- Kenmore Elite 21814
Add yours to this list if it matches the guide.

This miserable design actually sends line voltage up the hose to the switch, and back down again.
-
If your vacuum is completely dead silent, chances are one of the wires in the hose broke.
-
To start the motor without the hose, get insulated clip leads, apply power, and short the left and right terminals together. If the vacuum starts, you're on the right track.
-
You can also place a small bit of #14 or #12 stranded insulated wire between the two terminals, leaving enough space for plugging in the regular wand. You won't have switch control, but the thing will work.

The wire may have broken in various places, but chances are it's broken at the swivel connector.
-
According to "sears parts direct" this model is "too new to have replacement parts". However some parts appear similar to prior models.
-
The following parts are made for a prior model, but appear compatible: KC92PBZTZV06 KC92PBZTZV06.

The problem could also be in the handle, which like everything about this vacuum is difficult to service.
-
Remove one screw at the rear of the handle to release the top plate. Now pull. Hard. Straight up. Yes, in this miserable design the motor speed switch is friction fit.
-
Remove the rest of the screws to fully snap the handle apart (mine was stiff).
-
New switches are available, but you'll need a soldering iron and soldering skills for large wires to do work here.
-
To reassemble your device, throw the parts in the trash and hit Amazon to get a new one.

the part of the hose that connects to the actual canister is what I believe the issue is. It came apart and when I put it back in nothing happened. Some of the wire clips (they look copper) that are inside of it look broken. Can I just buy a another hose?
just take the handle apart. Put the wires back together. Electrical tape them tight on the inside. After re-assembling, then electrical tape the hose where it comes out of the handle ....wrap the electrical tape around the hose and handle so that the hose no longer moves at the handle. This stops any future wire breakage. Next, never disconnect hose arms when machine is on. And finally, always, always keep filter bags and filter to motor clean. Heppa filter is to keep exhaust air clean, so thats also important. Amazon sells cheap heppa filters.

My handle switch was intermittent in the power brush setting. Your guide helped me to get the handle apart. I was able to clean the switch with contact cleaner and restore it to operation for now. If it happens again, the next step would be to remove the switch from the circuit board and re-solder it in reversed. It is possible that the contacts that were formally used in the off position will be in better shape and function to energize the brush. ...unless the sliding contacts are shot too.
I've been able to keep this vacuum going for about a decade now.
