Matthew, first of all, your vacuum was not made by Samsung. It was made by LG Electronics for Sears. They were also responsible for the Kenmore Magic Blue canister as well.
There was a Hoover Windtunnel canister that was made by LG back about 10 years ago. It was VERY popular, & they are pretty easy to find. That machine hose end & hose handle look like a pretty close match to your Kenmore, & the hose material is virtually identical. If you find a repair shop that saves old parts & happens to have a hose from that Hoover laying around, it may just fit as is & just have to fit the hose handle from your Kenmore to make it work with your wand & powerhead. If not, you could always bring your old hose into the shop & have them transplant the hose material from the Hoover hose onto your handle & machine end. There is also one other solution you may want to try. There used to be a vinyl sleeve available to repair vacuum hoses. You would take off the hose handle, slide the sleeve over the hose where it is torn, & use a hairdryer to shrink the sleeve around the hose material & fix the tear. Check around on a few of the parts websites, it may still be available. Here is a link to the Hoover I am talking about. Best of luck in getting the vacuum working again.
