🔘 Kenmore KC13DDKNZMUH OEM Vacuum Attachment Release Button - Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer Part Review

Installed in a Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner Model: 116.21614. This part is used to detach the wand from the handle, it works well and I hope it doesn't break because it is very difficult to open the handle to remove the broken part.

Well we liked that it was available so we could make repairs when just the switch on the vacuum cleaner's handle stopped working; What they didn't tell us was that it's almost impossible to put a part in without breaking the whole handle to do it, so it was a waste of time.

This is the second button we replaced. It might be a bit difficult for me to figure out how to take apart the handle but some google searches solved this problem. The button breaks again when the wand falls to the ground multiple times, which happened on the original. Ideally the engineers would have made the trigger out of steel like they have done in the past, but I'm sure they made it out of plastic to save money.

This is not easy to install. The OEM likely designed this so that you would have to buy a new stylus or pay to have an authorized repair shop do the job. You will likely break some of the handle latches with this repair. Make sure you line up perfectly with the tongue on the slide pot before reassembling the handle. Not an easy task. The pen is returned with some broken tabs. Don't break up too much or they probably won't stay together.

. In general, the vacuum cleaner works well, but it consists of many plastic parts that are put together in such a way that it is difficult to remove them without breaking something. An example is this switch. It is made entirely of plastic and can be hit if the user drops the pen or drops it on the ground. Such impacts can easily damage or break the transmitter's release button, which would be less common if the part were metal. At almost $9 for a small piece of plastic, I can't imagine it…

I tried to replace the part thinking it would be easy. I ended up breaking the PCB suction regulator when I put the cover back on. This is definitely the correct part, but replacing it is a hassle as there is a fourth screw to remove underneath the circuit board (top). three externally accessible screws). Removing the top cover to remove the circuit board is not that easy as there are four locking points and only one is marked. Putting the top cover on is also tricky as the power button and…

This is not an easy repair, but a skilled technician can do it in 30-60 minutes. Essentially, you have to disassemble the entire handle. The only tools needed are a Phillips head screwdriver and two or more small flat head screwdrivers. Possibly needle nose pliers. Turn off the power and turn on the suction at full power. Turn off the vacuum and remove the wand. If you can't let go of the wand, flip the handle and use gravity to drop the wand's release switch while you press the release button…
