Filters, Motors & Parts for Kenmore Central Vacuum

Filtration for Kenmore Central Vacuum*

A plastic cylinder, with a screen, filters the air. Some had 3/4 inch regular store bought foam wrapped around the cylinder for extra filtration and that can be done for any system like this.

There is a wide plastic bottom on the cylinder.

Be sure to clean any filter or screen or you will lose suction. Be sure the foam is completely dry before reusing.

Circuit Board, Relay, Transformer, MiniBreaker

All central vacuums have transitioned to an all-in-one control board. They no longer use (and rarely supply) replacement individual relays, transformers, and mini breakers. If your Kenmore Central Vacuum needs a new relay, transformer, mini breaker, or even a new control board or circuit board, use one of these powerful, durable, cost-saving central vacuum circuit boards. The reality is, a central vacuum really only requires a motor and one circuit board. Some models have a couple of boards or fuses and multiple components that appear to be important, but they can usually all be removed and replaced with a single circuit board. It is not terribly difficult to retrofit a circuit board. An electrician can do it in under an hour.

To find the circuit board you need, verify the number of motors in your unit and the amperage requirements. The most common board replacement for Kenmore Vacuums is the Vacuum Motor Circuit Board for Single Motor Units 110 Volt and it may need to be retrofitted. For other voltages and motor configurations choose one of these Durable Generic Circuit Boards made by the industry leading manufacturer. Or, use your model number and the Motor Replacement Parts Chart for Kenmore to see our recommended circuit board. There are other Generic Circuit Boards for units with different voltage and multiple motors. Print and use the large photograph of the board as the wiring guide.
