I got a Kenmore Progressive (like the one pictured)canister yesterday at the Salvation Army for $12.99. I really like it but the power nozzel cuts on and off when in use. Im sure it's something to do with the wires in the telescoping wand, but the led lights on the handle stay on with out flickering, so not sure if it is the wiring then. Any ideas on how to get to the wires? I can't find a replacement wand online that has the led lights, so would really like to fix it. Thank's for your help!

I have the new red model, which is basically what replaced the yellow one above. It's in for repair, as while I was vacuuming, I tried to extend the wand and the PN motor, dirt sensor lights, and wand light all went out.
I would think if your PN is turning on and off but the wand light stays on, there must be a loose connection where the wand connects to the PN. But I am not sure on that, I don't know much about these newer units. |

I think your connection from wand to power nozzle is loose or burning up. You need to look at all wiring connections from power nozzle to wand, wand to hose and hose to canister. Look at the connecting pins, and I bet one of those connections is burning up or corroding. All of the pins should be gorgeous shiny copper.
If all of that checks out I would take the vacuum to your local vacuum shop and see what they can find. It could be a bad switch in the hose handle, it could be a wiring problem inside power nozzle itself. But my guess is that the problem is a burnt connection in the top paragraph. It's something very common on Panasonic/ Kenmores. |

Start by looking at the male contact pins in the nozzle end of the hose. |
