Performance Indicator; Agitator Overload Protector - Kenmore 116.33912 Manual Del Propietário

MOTOR PROTECTOR
This vacuum has a motor protector by-
pass valve which automatically opens to
provide cooling air to the motor when a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor. If the by-pass valve opens to
prevent motor overheating and possible
damage to the vacuum, you will notice a
change of sound as air rushes through the
valve opening.
Note: Do not
block motor

Motor
Protector
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING chart.
Note: The motor protector may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced airflow by the
attachments themselves or by new carpet
fuzz filling the dust bin quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
When the unit is
running with
normal air flow,
the light on the
performance
indicator is off.
The light comes
on where
\Performance
airflow becomes Indicator
blocked. If that occurs, check the dust
bin, clean/replace clogged filters, and
check other possible clog locations shown
in CLOG REMOVAL (see page 18).
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING chart.
Note: The light may also come on when
using attachments, due to reduced airflow
through the attachment.
Note: In some cases, the performance
indicator light may not come on if the
motor protector has opened.
AGITATOR THERMAL PROTECTOR
This agitator has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the agitator
motor from overheating. If a clog prevents
the normal flow of air to the motor, the
thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically to allow the motor to cool in
order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum. During this time the headlight and
suction motor will remain on.
To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the agitator to cool and
the thermal protector to reset. Check for
and remove clogs, if necessary. Also
check and replace any clogged filters.
Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes
and plug the vacuum in and turn back on
to see if the motor protector has reset.
The motor protector will not reset if the
vacuum is not turned off even if the
vacuum has cooled down.
AGITATOR OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR
The agitator has built-in protection against
motor damage should the agitator jam. If the
agitator slows down or stops, the agitator
overload protector shuts off the agitator. The
suction motor will continue to run.
To correct
problem:
Turn off and
unplug
vacuum,
remove
obstruction,
then press
reset button.
To reset: Push in the agitator overload
protector button.
