Frequently Asked Questions - DC5070 KENMORE

My Kenmore DC5070 vacuum won't start, what should I do?

First check that it is plugged in. Press the power button, then set the handle switch to Floor or Carpet. If the problem persists, the motor may have overheated: unplug and let it cool for 50 minutes. Also check the circuit breaker or fuse in your home.

How do I clean the HEPA filter on my vacuum?

The HEPA cartridge exhaust filter cannot be washed; it must be replaced once a year. To access it, lift the filter cover latch on the canister, remove the cover, press the tab to remove the old filter, then insert the new one until it clicks. Make sure the cover is securely closed.

Why won't my vacuum's brush roll turn?

Make sure the handle switch is set to Floor or Carpet (not Off). Ensure the electrical connections on the hose and wand are fully inserted. If the brush is blocked, turn off and unplug the vacuum, then remove the obstruction. A red indicator signals an overload: clear the blockage and restart.

How do I empty the dust cup on the Kenmore DC5070?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Push the release latch to the right and lift the handle to remove the cup. Press the cover release button, open it, and empty the contents into a trash can. Shake the cup to dislodge debris from the pre-filter. Close the cover until it clicks, then reinstall the cup by pressing firmly.

My vacuum has weak suction, what should I check?

Empty the dust cup if full. Clean or replace the filters (foam, felt, HEPA). Make sure the suction control on the handle is closed (slid to the left). Check for blockages in the hose, wand, brush, or canister. If the hose is punctured, contact customer service.

How do I clean the foam and felt filters?

Remove the dust cup, then the foam and felt filters. Wash them in cold water only, without detergent. Squeeze them by hand, do not twist, and let them air dry for 24 hours before reinstalling. Never install them damp and do not wash them in a dishwasher.

What to do if the power cord does not rewind?

Clean the cord with a damp cloth to remove dirt that may hinder rewinding. Gently pull the cord to free it, then press the rewind button while holding the plug. Avoid letting the plug whip around to prevent injury.

The vacuum lifts carpets or pushes too hard, how to adjust?

Open the suction control by sliding it to the right to reduce suction power. This will prevent lifting lightweight carpets or making movement difficult. Adjust according to floor type.

How to maintain the Hair Eliminator power brush?

The brush roll is designed to automatically remove hair and pet fur during vacuuming. To clean stubborn wraps, simply continue vacuuming. If the brush becomes blocked, turn off and unplug, remove the obstruction manually, being careful of sharp edges. Do not touch the brush while it is rotating.

Where to find replacement parts for the Kenmore DC5070?

Replacement parts (filters, crevice tool, combination brush) are available by contacting customer service at 1-877-531-7321 (USA) or 1-844-608-3081 (Canada). Refer to the parts list in the manual with model numbers. The warranty does not cover filters and belts.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard To avoid accidental brushroll starting, always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before cleaning the brushroll area. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

HAIR ELIMINATOR® BRUSHROLL

For best performance, the motorized nozzle is equipped with a hair eliminator® brushroll, which prevents build-up of hair, string and other debris on the brushroll. To remove any hair wrapped around the brushroll, simply continue vacuuming, allowing the brushroll to automatically remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup.

CAUTION

Moving parts! To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch the brushroll when vacuum is on. Contacting the brushroll while it is rotating can cut, bruise or cause other injuries.

BRUSHROLL RESET

The brushroll has built-in protection against motor damage should the brushroll jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the brushroll overload protector shuts off the brushroll motor and the brushroll status indicator emits a red light. The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to run.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brushroll status indicator will be off.

NOTE: Once the brushroll motor shuts down, clear jam from brushroll and then restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem persists, call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

SUCTION CONTROL

The suction control allows you to change the vacuum suction for different fabrics and carpet weights. Note that for best cleaning results, the suction control valve must be fully closed.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES

• Slide to right to open the suction control and decrease suction. Opening the control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
• Slide to left to close the suction control and increase suction. Closing the control increases suction for upholsteries, carpets, and bare floors.

Increase Suction

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal airflow 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.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and clean or replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

If the canister motor does not resume operation after the reset procedure described above, call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

BY-PASS VALVE

This vacuum cleaner has a By-Pass Valve which prevents motor overheating and damage. The valve opens to provide cooling air when a clog prevents normal air flow to the vacuum cleaner suction motor. You will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the valve opening.

To correct problem: remove any clogs, check and replace filters if needed, check and empty dust cup if needed.

NOTE: The By-Pass Valve may open when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet due to reduced airflow or air path is blocked, caused by the attachments themselves or by new carpet lint filling the dust cup quickly.

VACUUM MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Always follow all safety precautions when performing maintenance to the vacuum cleaner.

WARNING

Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard

Always turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner before performing maintenance to the vacuum cleaner. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury from vacuum cleaner suddenly starting.

WARNING

There are sharp edges inside to prevent hair entanglement. Do not put any part of the body into the motorized nozzle during maintenance.

REMOVING CLOGS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust cup through the airflow passages. The dust cup lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred (★) areas occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking.

TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:

• Check dust cup and empty if full. See EMPTYING DUST CUP (page 19-20).
• Check pre-filter, foam and felt filters, and HEPA media exhaust filter and clean or replace if dirty. See PRE-FILTER CLEANING (page 21), FOAM AND

FELT FILTERS CLEANING (page 21) and HEPA MEDIA EXHAUST FILTER CHANGING (page 22-23).

- Check motorized nozzle for obstructions in the brushroll area. Carefully remove any obstruction.

REMOVING CLOGS

If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction, do the following:

1. Connect the hose to the canister and turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the hose for suction. If there is good suction on the hose handle, there is no clog in the hose. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the hose and handle.

2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check the end of the wand for suction. If there is good suction at the end of the wand, there is no clog in the wand. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the wand.

3. Check the motorized nozzle swivel. Remove any dirt or debris.

CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS

1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.

CAUTION

Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas, such as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they are washed. They could leave marks.

EMPTYING DUST CUP

NOTE: For best performance, empty dust cup after every use. Never operate vacuum cleaner without dust cup and filters in place.

1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
