Enter the model numbers in Sears Parts Direct and see what the part number is for each model's motor.Are the motors for Kenmore canister vacuums 11626212601 and 11626212602 interchangeable? Thank you for your assistance
While the vacuum bodies are identical other than their color, the motors are different and they use different rubber mounts between the fan case and the body. The rear mount is the same for both however. Looking at the diagrams and images in Sears Parts Direct that first model number uses a Panasonic motor and the second one uses a Cinderson motor.Are the motors for Kenmore canister vacuums 11626212601 and 11626212602 interchangeable?

Thank you giving a thorough explanation. It is very informative. I was trying to repair it for sentimental reasons. Again, thank you for your effort.While the vacuum bodies are identical other than their color, the motors are different and they use different rubber mounts between the fan case and the body.

Those motors and their rubber mounts always turn up on eBay. And that old Kenny just happens to be a darned good vacuum. Humble and basic but they do the job. Easy to take apart. Sanitize that puppy, replace the exhaust filter ( still available ), put the good CF-1 pre motor filter in it, use a genuine Kenmore brand synthetic Style Q HEPA dust bag ( never use anything but genuine Kenmore brand filters and bags which you can order from Walmart on line ) and it'll last a lifetime. Which of the two models do you have?Thank you giving a thorough explanation. It is very informative. I was trying to repair it for sentimental reasons. Again, thank you for your effort.
