New member here, I posted weeks ago on the Vintage Forum with no replies.

I own a Kenmore Destiny. A few weeks ago I accidentally threw away the rubber seal around the top of the dust bin. I originally posted to see if anyone knew where I could find another, if they had a spare. Last week, I fashioned one out of a ceramic kitchen canister seal including chamfering the top edge to mimic the real seal. Used my Fantom Fury as my example. Works fine. So far so good.

What I now notice is the machine runs very hot. There is full suction, just the exhaust is hot.

I wondered if anyone knew where to find a schematic for this or the Fantom Thunder.

Hope to hear from someone. Thanks.

I have never seen a schematic on one, but I don't know how that would help you resolve its running hot. I do however believe there shouldn't be a relationship between your makeshift gasket and the increase of exhaust temp.

I don't know how hot your exhaust is but it normally is pretty warm, especially through the HEPA filter if you have one.

They always blow hot air

Regardless of which Fantom you have, you will notice that the exhaust is hot. Actually, I take that back, just about any exhaust is going to be hot.
