How to clear blockages in your Kenmore Elite canister vacuum cleaner

Low suction or poor dirt pick up may be caused by a blockage in the nozzle or hose system of your canister vacuum.

When you notice decreased suction or when the vacuum isn't picking up dirt like it should, check the power nozzle for a clog first. Remove the power nozzle from the wand and turn it upside down. Unlock the nozzle cover latches and open the nozzle. Clean debris from brush roll and nozzle openings.

If you find no blockages in the nozzle, check the wand for any clogs and clear any blockages in the wand.

Disconnect the hose and thoroughly check the hose for blockages. Clear any hose blockages and reassemble the vacuum.

What to do when your Kenmore Elite canister vacuum isn't suctioning well

A weak suction motor, full vacuum bag, clog in the suction air path, dirty vacuum exhaust filter or leaky vacuum hose can prevent the vacuum cleaner from suctioning well.

Check the collection bag because debris won't get sucked up through the vacuum and into the collection bag efficiently when the bag is full. Empty the bag if it's full.

If your vacuum uses an exhaust filter, a clogged exhaust filter will prevent suction air from flowing through the vacuum efficiently. Check the exhaust filter and replace it if it's dirty.

Check the suction air path for a clog. Debris in the nozzle, hose or an internal pipe in the vacuum can inhibit suction air flow so remove any debris that you find blocking the suction air path.

Holes in the vacuum hose can diminish suction air flow through the nozzle because air gets sucked through hose holes instead of the nozzle. Replace the vacuum hose if it has holes.
