This is a Kenmore Progressive from 2008ish. I'm not sinking any money into it. I'll let the picture do the talking...

Unless the power nozzle caused the short. | ||

This doesn't happen with just Kenmore, I've seen these problems once a while on just any canister or central vacuum. My Neighbor's Hoover canister had that problem before but they ended up putting it in storage and bought something else. My Aunt's central vacuum also had that problem, she ended up getting the handle and the powerhead cord replaced. Right now my Electrolux Diplomat LX currently has that problem but luckily the handle plug or the cord didn't melt yet. There's a bunch more that I could also tell from both of my vacuum stores as well. I've got some Kenmores in my collection that's older than that white one including my Grandpa's Kenmore, they all still work just fine.

The older Kenmores with metal handle didn't seem to have this problem, but the ones with the gas pump handle seem to. Both of my mom's Whispertone canister had issues with the PN turning on and off, and I found that the plug in the handle has a plastic tab that holds it down, and when it breaks the plug moves up and down when you push and pull the PN to and fro, which causes the loose connection. Neither of hers melted but what I did to fix the issue was to glue the plug down where it should be with superglue.
