Kenmore Guide to Vacuum Overload Reset and Motor Protection Systems

MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM

Motor Protector

This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector by-pass valve which automatically opens to provide cooling air to the vacuum cleaner motor when a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor. If the by_pass valve opens to prevent motor overheating and possible damage to the vacuum cleaner, you will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the valve opening.

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE- SHOOTING section.

See the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Note: Do not block motor protector.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove dogs, if necessary. See page 19, CLOG REMOVAL section.

Also check and replace any dogged filters. Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner In and tum back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

AGITATOR MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The agitator motor has built-in protection against motor damage should the agitator jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the agitator overload protector shuts off the

agitator motor. The vacuum cleaner motor will continue to run.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then

press reset button.

To reset: Push in Overload Reset

the agitator overload protector button.

Thermal Protector

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector, which automatically trips to protect both the vacuum cleaner and the agitator motor from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

If the problem persists, have the vacuum cleaner serviced by a Sears or other qualified technician.
