Monroe you're the man!!! I have the Kenmore 200 and the carpet power attachment stopped working. After checking out your video I checked the continunity between the attachments. I started lower and worked my way up to the wand, where the switch to the carpet is. One of the two wires to the switch came out of the connections. After inspecting the wire it appears that the wire connector wasn't even crimped to the wire connector and the insulation wasn't even stripped away to make a hard contact. I stripped the end of the wire reconnected the wire and put it back together. Works perfect! Thanks for the help!!

You started on the right track with the exact problem I have. But you stopped short in explaining further what if it's not the wand that's the issue. What if the wand is fine and the beater bart just wont go! I cannot connect direct to the Beater bar as you did in the video. So my problem still exists. Good to see you were able to help others though
@monroevac Жыл бұрын
Try disconnecting the wires from the breaker (located) in the head and connect them together. Then try turning te machine on and see if the nozzle works. Consider this the issue is going to boil down to either the switch the grip, or the wand ( you said it’s ok) then the breaker and finally the brush motor. Just a process of elimination.

So helpful. Very common sense and I'm embarrassed I didn't think to try. That said, on my Kenmore 200 series, the female power plug on the hose end is narrower than the male plug on the nozzle part. I can't plug it in to eliminate the wand as the issue. Is there a workaround to this? The unit looks virtually new. I'm a reseller, but I'm sort of stuck because I have three parts (hose, wand, and nozzle) and don't know which one is broken. I don't want to sell something I'm not confident in. I think I'm local to you. (Monroe, NC?) Do you have a another 200 series we could interchange parts with?

Hey and I am a new subscriber. Question for you, I have been taking my Kenmore Whispertone Powermate apart and cleaning it inside for years and the last time I did so, the light came on but the power nozzle will not come on. All the electrical inputs and connections seem to be fine so any suggestions for me to check before I order just the reolacement powermate which I found on ebay? My model is a 116 Green Whispertone from the 90's. Thanks much!

@monroevac9 ай бұрын
Hmmm! Other than using a multimeter to test, you can MacGyver the issue by using two wires (sold in either Lowes or Home Depot) to connect link one end to the handle and the other to the prongs on the nozzle. Note: do this at your own risk. Low voltage but still proceed with caution. Probably need two people to insure that the wires don’t touch. If unsure then it’s best to take it to a service sender
@billz47959 ай бұрын
@@monroevac tried another Way to isolate issue. Unplugged hose from canister AND performed continuity test from end of hose to prongs at control handle. Results only one of the two worked. Took handle apart no loose/broken wires. Played with switch and worked? Put back together worked - then died! Bad switch, or wire someplace I can't find, but issue is located along hose and control handle. Ordered new switch $6.00. - I'll see. If not can purchase hose/ handle, or for a little more a new one - this is 12 years old.

Thanks for the video. Have Kenmore 600 series that the power nozzle is not working. Checked continuity of the wand with multimeter. What I found is that I have continuity with the wires, but it appears that the same side connector has no continuity. However, continuity with wire to the opposite side. Is it possible Kenmore purposely crosses the wire for some reason? Also, as per your video, I cannot get the handle to fit directly onto power nozzle. Any help and opinion would be appreciated.
@donens93109 ай бұрын
Update: Kenmore uses different wiring pin connector spacing on hose end and hose end so the hose handle cannot be connected to the power nozzle.

Consider all the active parts. Brush, belt, brush motor, breaker, wiring. One or more is the culprit. Testing each is the heart of the project. Multimeter or an sister vacuum can help isolate the problem.
@letsfixsomethingathome8536 Жыл бұрын
Was told the motor probably burnt out, but inspection and the nose knows it didn't. Just wasn't getting power because in the handle there were two pulled crimp connectors trying to connect the solid wires in the hose to the braided on the selector switch. Hose must have turned. Not impressed with the over engineering, when it comes to opening to gain access to the belts, etc.
