Kenmore Fan Motor Assembly
$73.99
Product details
This fan motor is a replacement for the Kenmore 31230 vacuum, listed under part number KC92FDJHZ000. The fan motor draws air through the machine to create suction, so its condition sets the ceiling on how well the vacuum can clean.
A motor that is close to failing usually gives some warning before it quits completely: gradually weaker suction, a scorched-electrical odor after a few minutes of running, or a noise that has grown louder or rougher over time. Any of those is worth acting on before the unit stops working altogether and leaves the machine unusable.
- Fits: Kenmore 31230.
- Function: fan motor, generates the suction that pulls air and debris through the machine.
- Part: KC92FDJHZ000, and this motor may also be listed under an alternate part number in some parts catalogs; when that's the case, it is the same physical motor.
- Rule out first: a clogged hose, a full bag, or a dirty filter, since those cause similar suction loss and are more common than a failed motor.
- Before installing: unplug the machine at the outlet and work in a clear, well-lit space, since the swap means handling the machine's mains wiring.
The 31230 is the machine this motor is listed for. Read the model number off your Kenmore's data plate and match it exactly, because fan motors are not interchangeable across similar-looking models and an ill-fitting one will not seat or seal correctly in the housing.
