Kenmore Dust Bin Lid - 125....
$31.99
Product details
This is the lid that fits over the top of the dust bin on Kenmore bagless upright vacuums, stocked under Kenmore number KC20HEDCZSUM. It fits the 125.31230610 and 116.10335510 models specifically, and it replaces the original directly, closing the bin the same way and holding it shut while the machine runs.
Bin lids fail from repetition rather than a single bad moment. Emptying the bin over a trash can, usually one-handed and at arm's length, flexes the lid thousands of times a year until a crack starts, usually at the spots that pivot or latch, since those carry the most stress on any bin lid. Once the lid stops sealing, the bin still fills and the vacuum still runs, but fine dust starts leaking out at the seam instead of staying trapped, and pickup performance quietly drops even though nothing else on the machine has changed.
A cracked lid of this type is not worth trying to glue, since flexing under vacuum pressure reopens a repair quickly; the lid gets replaced as a unit. While the old one is off, look over the rim of the bin it seals against as well, because a new lid can only seal against a rim that is itself straight and free of chips.

Order by the number on your machine's data plate rather than the model printed on the box. Kenmore's bagless upright numbers run long, and bins that look identical from the outside are not always interchangeable.
