KENMORE 600 VACUUM CLEANER WONT COME ON

[@snowinpei11]

Vacuum all of a sudden wouldn't turn on today. Came across this video after a Google search. Opened up the handle area and the white wire had disconnected! Works perfect again. Thank you so much!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Glad it helped

[@korbus1477]

You saved my vacuum! First time I fixed something like this myself...Thank you!

[@teresashaw2472]

I am so thankful for handy men who aren't afraid to fix things. My older brother is the fixer and the gem of our family!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I love stories like this. Thanks for watching.

[@deecee3463]

This worked! Thank you- your video saved me from throwing a perfectly good vacuum cleaner in the garbage!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I love this!!

[@PhillyNonSequitur]

Man, that was such a simple solution. I went looking for a fuse. Had the whole beater head taken apart. After watching your video, I took the handle apart. Both wires were broken. So I stripped them both, reattached them, and added a small piece of electrical tape just to keep them from moving, then reassembled everything. Works like the day I bought it. Thanks for this video. It really helped. We now have two vacuum cleaners. 😅

[@craigholderman1054]

Hey buddy, thank you for the tutorial. I have the same vacuum, and it's about 5-6 years old. I watched your video and I had the exact problem you showed on your video. It was even the same wire! You saved me $379.00! Thanks a bunch.

[@chadgietzen4295]

Thank you! Have a different model but with this video I was also able to fix mine. Same issue as this one.

[@tomschmidt381]

I'm late to the party. We love our Kenmore canister vacuums (2). I fixed a similar problem with wiring on the handle a few years ago. When I opened the handle I was surprised to see the wires in the hose were solid rather then stranded. We have also had problems with the plastic parts breaking on the wand of another unit. Luckily someone on eBay was parting out a unit so I was able to fix it by swapping out parts. Now that these units are getting old I keep an eye for folks getting rid of theirs so I now has a parts stash so hopefully am able to keep ours going for more years. Not sure if it still a problem but the first one we purchased years ago the contacts in the handle are susceptible to vibration and loosened over time and overheated.

[@Delta1Duck]

Thank you so much for sharing....ALL 3 of my wires had come apart and two plastic clip pieces had broken...I pushed the wires back together...replaced the handle screws and am vacuuming again...just being careful with the hose and trying not to twist to much...you saved me a visit to the repair shop and $$ for now!!

[@MarciBennett-h2c]

Thank you! Same issue here! Glad I found your video!

[@conniemariastiles7107]

Thanks! We got our vacuum running again!!👏🏻

[@josepheudy8361]

Hey man, thank you!!! I had the same problem and was minutes away from tossing it in the garbage. Hopefully, now it will keep running for a few more years.

[@richernandez418]

I had the same issue with the same model vacuum. My white wire was broken. I stripped off some of the jacket with my cable stripper and popped it in and reassembled. I put a ziptie around the hose and the inside part of the handle to help provide relief when the vacuum is getting pulled around by the handle.

[@JP-xh3gy]

Good video! My issue is that carpet mode works while floor mode doesn't.

[@sidneyhirst1925]

I ran into the same problem. You should check for low oil sensor. If not that then check for clutch pedal Freeplay. Or shifter linkage at safety neutral switch. Good luck!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Huh?

[@12namleht]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Automotive reference....That's how I fixed my 1977 F250...Safety Neutral Switch was broken

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

@@12namleht I think you must be commenting on the incorrect video because this is about a vacuum cleaner

[@gman3109]

He's joking! Can't you detect sarcasm Sheldon?

[@johnmack1399]

Great job! Happy wife, happy life!

[@adnacraigo6590]

You can't stop a mechanic.

[@ElliotSwaney]

What if when you put your volt meter into the little holes on the vacuum there is no power? My wife left the vacuum plugged in for a couple of days. When she came back to use it a couple days later, still plugged in it wouldn't work... nothing. Is there a fuse in there somewhere? It is a Kenmore 600 series, 2 years old. Thannks.

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

THEVACUUMEDIC1 You rock! 😁

[@travismauldin7194]

Great job vacuummedic1!👍👍

[@jonhouck7254]

We love are 600 series never had a problem

[@kwsanders]

I have this same vacuum which isn't turning on. I just purchased a multimeter today to check it. I have not figured out the issue yet, though.

[@gallimaufry1446]

🎉thank you! Just fixed my machine.

[@davidmccormick9022]

Thanks!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Wow! Awesome thank you very much!!

[@lr882027]

Great, thanks man, helped me find the broken wire in the handle.

[@carlbeeblebronx9061]

You should have done a whole house vacuum test to verify repair, I am sure your wife would agree.😁

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Shhhhhhh don’t give her any ideas!

[@johnmacbeth4148]

Thank you, you just saved me some money

[@rocketrider1405]

Thanks. I’ll be ready if mine acts up!

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Thanks for sharing. Soon many of your repairs will involve electricity. Battery powered lawn equipment is becoming more common. Best to you and yours.

[@gregcripps7291]

Please explain to my wife that bib overalls are necessary to retain the vast amount of maintenance information that you retain. She doesn’t think that I need maintenance bibs. PS also that the buttons on the side are not required to be fastened allowing for extra knowledge to be stored. She thinks that I would require a bigger pair of bibs than I’m currently forbidden to ware. PS this exact problem with out vacuum.

[@raymondcampbell2346]

Nice fix MM1. We have another Inspector Gadget on KZbin.

[@D4x4Bronc]

She kept that vacuum pretty clean

[@JohnScott-j9b]

Good information! Thank you.

[@johnoceanyang5522]

Awesome. U save me time to check won’t start too but I got it start it 👍😜

[@trockhill1855]

Thanks it’s was a wire but it’s running know

[@richardiparraguirre9286]

excellent video well explained.

[@josiedonatelli756]

Great job!

[@ShainAndrews]

Had my Dysson Animal for more than 10 years. Not a single issue.

[@mickey9852]

Thank you just fixed the wife's vacuum. It was the same shit. Those push on connections are trash. Kenmore should be ashamed of themselves.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Tell her to stop jerking the vacuum around by the hose. Prob solved! Haha thanks for Watching!

[@thomassireno4351]

Do you have a video of changing the belt on the power wheel part?

[@jacojaco8436]

Hi. Why is it that my canister sometimes turns off when I pull the electric cord or when I roll it in??? Please help.

[@nashguy207]

We have a similar model Kenmore canister vacuum and had a similar problem once that I had to fix. Its still working and that was about 7 or 8 years ago.

[@joefumo9198]

Please make a video where you show removing the On/ off switch

[@stephanied143]

Good job interesting

[@jaimepadilla9548]

Very nice! Can you make a video on how to use that voltage meter I've had one for years still can't figure it out. Please

[@lisamarie620]

I have the same vacuum. Any idea what would cause the beater not to work? I have tried pushing the agitator reset button…no luck.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Test to see if you are getting 120v to the motor

[@yhwhtlc9217]

no superglue, crimp the connection and wrap the wire & connector with electrical tape. Superglue will eventually dislodge. But thanks for the tutorial-- finding the root cause..

[@netjlr307]

I'm getting 0 volts from the first voltage test... no voltage at pins.... plug is hot 120 volts

[@dennisduran8500]

This is when having two hoses comes in handy to test it

[@estherlopez1917]

Thank you!!!

[@AndrewCreamer-u2v]

Power reset button on Kenmore 600 series canister vac won't come on stuck down help 8:30pm

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Need to replace the button. Trigger spring mechanism broken

[@m998hmmwv7]

No wonder it wont start the pull cord is broke off.. lol

[@elsielonokapu4127]

Terrific!

[@That-Guy.]

Did all the same things just to come and find out the vacuum itself isn’t getting the 120v that runs up the handle into the switch. Seems as if I’ve got bigger fish to fry unfortunately lmao
