clog? This can be bad motor as above.But many KM noises can be related to clogging.Run with dirt cup removed or bag door open and see if sound returns to normal.If so there could still be a clog. If still sounds bad(with brush off) would be bearing/fan/motor problem. | ||

Kenmore Thanks for the tips. I wonder if it pays to get it fixed. | ||

My old purple Kenmore bagless from 2009 had that after new filters. | ||

I would say it could be a clog, especially since the performance indicator is on. It sounds like there could be a piece of paper or plastic stuck that is vibrating and making the flapping noise. If you can, try removing the hose from the machine at both ends and turn it on to see if it still does it. Also try what rugsucker said about turning the brushroll off to see if it isn't that.

I have the same one and it makes a similar noise, but the motor sounds fine... I think it is the hose reeling from the suction as it only does it when I first turn it on and first turn it off... is that the same with yours, or is it constant? | ||

Kenmore Mine just started this recently, and it is whenever it is on high speed. The noise seems to be coming from near the motor.If I turn it down it stops, but then you have no suction.......... | ||

Never mind checking the pre-motor filter as the cause of the bleeder opening on the bagged version. Good idea to check it anyway, though. | ||

if the hose is clogged and it is a stretch hose try flexing the hose vigorously with the vacuum on. I was taught that by a vac shop years ago and it seems to work well. a broom handle also works if the opening is wide enough | ||
