Who made Kenmore central vacuums?
Kenmore is a Sears house brand, so Kenmore central vacuums (including model 1758670190) were built for Sears by outside manufacturers rather than by a single “Kenmore factory.” The exact maker can vary by model and production run, so the most reliable identifier is the model and data label on the power unit.
Use the information on the central vacuum power unit label (usually on the canister housing or near the motor compartment):
- Record the full model number (1758670190) and any additional codes (series, type, or revision)
- Look for an OEM name or a second model number (sometimes a manufacturer-specific number)
- Note the electrical rating (volts/amps) and motor type; these help match replacement motors and controls
- Check whether your system uses low-voltage control wiring at the wall inlets
- Compare inlet style and hose connection type (common compatibility issue)

Kenmore has historically sourced appliances from multiple OEMs. For central vacuums, the maker can differ even within the Kenmore lineup.
| What you see on the label | What it usually means | Why it matters for parts |
|---|---|---|
| Only “Kenmore” branding | Sears private-label product | You must match parts by model and component specs |
| A second model number | OEM cross-reference number | Helps match motors, relays, and control boards |
| OEM company name | Actual manufacturer identified | Speeds up correct part identification |
Central vacuum parts like the motor, relay/control board, filter, and gasket set must match the unit’s electrical specs and mounting style. Identifying the OEM behind Kenmore model 1758670190 helps prevent ordering a motor or control that will not fit or will not wire correctly.

Where can I find the Kenmore vacuum model number?
You can find the model number for your Kenmore central vacuum (model 1758670190) on the appliance’s rating label, typically on the power unit canister near the motor cover, wiring compartment, or where the intake/exhaust ports connect. Having the exact model number ensures you match the correct parts and diagrams.
Look for a silver, white, or clear sticker or metal tag in these spots:
- On the side of the canister near the mounting bracket
- Behind the front cover or access panel (if your unit has one)
- Near the electrical junction box or wiring entry point
- Close to the intake port where the main vacuum pipe connects
- Near the exhaust outlet or muffler connection
- On the underside edge of the canister (less common)
Most Kenmore central vacuum labels list several identifiers. Use the model number when searching parts.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Correct parts lookup | 1758670190 |
| Serial number | Unit identification | Letters and numbers |
| Electrical rating | Troubleshooting and safety checks | Volts/amps |
Central vacuum parts like motors, filters, relays, and circuit components can look similar across models. Using the exact model number helps prevent ordering the wrong replacement and reduces downtime during a repair.
- Check for a second label inside the cover or near the wiring compartment
- Look for a stamped plate or etched marking on the canister
- Match the power unit’s physical details (port locations, filter style, motor layout) to diagrams after confirming the model number

How to change the belt on a Kenmore vacuum?
To change the belt on a Kenmore vacuum, we unplug the unit, remove the powerhead or floor nozzle bottom plate, lift out the brush roll, swap the belt onto the motor shaft and brush roll, then reinstall and test. For Kenmore model 1758670190, match the belt by the powerhead/nozzle model.
- Unplug the vacuum; if your central vacuum has a powered brush head, unplug that cord too.
- Work on a flat surface with good lighting.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver or release the quarter turn latches (varies by nozzle).
- Cut hair and string off the brush roll.
- Make sure brush roll end caps spin freely.
- Turn the powerhead over and remove the bottom plate.
- Lift the brush roll out of its slots.
- Slip the old belt off the brush roll and motor pulley.
- Loop the new belt over the motor pulley first.
- Stretch the belt onto the brush roll belt path; seat the brush roll back into place.
- Spin the brush roll by hand; it should turn smoothly and the belt should track straight.
- Reinstall the bottom plate; run on carpet for 10 to 20 seconds.
- Brush roll is jammed (debris, seized end caps)
- Wrong belt size or style for the powerhead
- Motor pulley is nicked or misaligned
- Height setting is too low for thick carpet
| What you notice | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Belt is loose | Stretched or wrong size | Replace with correct belt |
| Brush roll won’t spin by hand | End caps/bearings binding | Clean or replace brush roll |
A worn belt slows the brush roll, reduces pickup, and can overheat the belt area. A correct belt plus a clean brush roll restores agitation and protects the powerhead.

Why is my Kenmore vacuum brush not spinning?
Your Kenmore central vacuum power unit model 1758670190 does not have a spinning brush. When the “brush” stops, the problem is in the cleaning head (power nozzle), hose handle switch, wand wiring, or the low-voltage control circuit that tells the power nozzle to run.
- Confirm the brush tool is an electric power nozzle (it should have its own motor and usually a belt).
- Make sure the hose handle switch is set to run the brush (some have separate suction and brush controls).
- Reseat the wand and hose connections; loose pins or a partially seated plug stops brush power.
- Clear hair and debris from the brush roll area on the power nozzle; a jam can trip its reset.
- If the power nozzle has a reset button or breaker, reset it after clearing the jam.
Turn the system off before inspecting connections.
- Check the wall inlet connection; bent or dirty contacts can prevent the hose from carrying power.
- Inspect the hose for cuts, crushed sections, or a loose handle connection.
- If your power nozzle plugs into a corded outlet, verify the outlet has power.
- If you have a multimeter, test continuity through the hose and wand wiring; use how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.
| What you notice | Most likely area | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Suction works but brush never runs | Power nozzle power path (hose, wand, switch) | Check handle switch, connections, wiring continuity |
| Brush runs sometimes when you wiggle the hose | Broken wire or loose connector | Inspect hose/handle wiring and plug pins |
| Brush stops and power nozzle feels hot | Jam or overloaded brush motor | Clear obstruction, reset, then recheck |
| No suction and no brush | Central unit control or blockage | Check inlet, clogs, and central unit operation |
A non-spinning brush reduces carpet agitation, so cleaning performance drops even when suction seems normal. Fixing the power nozzle power path prevents repeated overheating and nuisance shutdowns.
