I've always wanted one of the new Kenmore Progressive canisters, but I thought it would be cheaper to keep an eye out for one in a thrift store. I found an older model for $9.99 and bought it right away. After that, I went sears to buy bags and filters. I was smart enough the take a picture of info plate on the bottom because I knew I wouldn't remember what model it was. The number is 29812990 and they couldn't find it listed in their look up flip parts book, so they asked me to bring in the old filthy filter that was left in it. I also wanted to get the newer power nozzle with dirt sensor but was told they only sell them online. I can't find them on the sears website anywhere. After all of that, I went home with some new bags. I put the power switch in the off position and plugged the vacuum in and it turned on. It will only shut off when it's unplugged. How can that be fixed and where can I get the new power nozzle for the current generation vacuums? I'll post some pictures too. I'm excited to restore this.
