    Whirlpool power clean 7000 vacuum cleaner

    If you post a pic someone might be able to help,These were mostly sold under the Kenmore name, The old Whirlpool part numbers are obsolete but the parts are probably available and listed as Kenmore, It's just a matter of matching up the parts and matching Kenmore model.
