Upon needing one of the replacement belts today to replace an older belt, it immediately broke after about 5 minutes of use. Assuming the second belt in the newly opened bag may also be defective I took both belts to the Citadel Mall Sears store expecting to get an exchange for newer belts that would, hopefully, not, also be defective. Upon hearing my story the sales clerk said that because the unused belts were more than 30 days old they could not take them in exchange. I got the same story from a store manager who I asked to speak with, pointing out that there was no way I could predict how soon I would need to use a replacement belt from the time of purchase and that they were still in their unopened plastic bags. I was then told that because the parts were bought at the Sears service center and not their store that "they were not compatible in their computer system" and could not be exchanged even if it had been less than 30 days since their purchase. I found this astounding, since the package clearly read: Kenmore Replacement Belts for Sears Upright Vacs. Sears Part No. 205275. Realizing that the store manager was not going to budge from his position, I relented to buy the belt I needed, and went back to the store rack containing replacement belts to get the right part number to purchase, only to find they did not have this part in stock. When I approached a second sales clerk about ordering the part she told me that I would need to go on line , and gave me a Sears web address. Gee, why didn't I think of that in the first place.; what a waste of my time and energy in this store.

I was disappointed in the results and the technology. The actual task that was performed did not seem to do much good. Some companies have a vacuum system that sucks it all out and has something that goes into the system and kind of shakes it up until some stuff come out. I have had that...

"Replaced comparatively new but oddly burned out central vacuum that had very little use .. It was poorly matched to my average size home. He also installed a couple of new hoses & attachments for me. Top notch work but apparently has over 20yrs experience with these systems. Highly recommended !"

Kenmore Vacuum Repair questions, answered by experts
If your central vacuum has lost suction, you probably have a clog in the system. You can remove a clog yourself using a portable vacuum cleaner or central vacuum maintenance sheets. Stubborn clogs or damage to the system require a specialized technician to repair.
One advantage of a central vacuum system is that it can last for a very long time, especially when it’s well-maintained. You can expect a high-quality system to last at least 20 years. At this time, you may need to replace the main power unit, but the central vac system can continue functioning with new parts.
It can be difficult to know right away if your central vacuum is clogged since it operates quietly compared to regular vacuums. However, there are a couple of signs you can look for. If you feel like it’s losing suction or isn’t cleaning effectively, then there’s likely a clog somewhere.
Make sure you turn the vacuum on and feel the end of the hose handle. If you don’t feel any suction, then you’re dealing with a clog in the hose. You can see if the clog is further down in the system by attaching the hose to each outlet until you find the one with the least amount of suction.
The disadvantages associated with central vacuums start with cost. They are expensive to install, especially in existing homes, as retrofitting requires opening walls. The system's bulky hoses can also be inconvenient to maneuver and store compared to portable vacuums. Additionally, repairs may need professional service, adding to maintenance costs. Lastly, while powerful, they may be overkill for smaller homes or apartments, making the investment less practical for some households.
Whether talking about a whole-house central vacuum or a portable vacuum cleaner, the expected cost of major repair work should always be balanced against its replacement cost. However, excluding high-cost motor replacements or major electrical trouble, repairs on a central vacuum system are typically far less than the cost of purchasing and installing a new one.
