My mom has a Kenmore Whispertone canister vac, hunter green color from 2000. She said she went to change the bag and noticed the pre motor filter was dirty. So she tried to vacuum it off and it just crumbled. The filter has the red plastic frame with foam material on it, which is what disintegrated. Behind it, she said there's another white cloth filter that just sticks behind it. She said she put the white filter back but needs to replace the foam one.
I looked at Sears and didn't see this type. All they have are the square black foam with white material like the Progressives use.
Can this be ordered? If not, I thought about gluing a new material to the old frame and reusing it. I have some of those cut to fit electrostatic A/C vent filters that I've used on other vacuums that might work.
