Questions and answers
wheels are blocked from rolling when upright
The wheels on the Kenmore Sears 116 vacuum cleaner are blocked from rolling when upright because the base plate is designed to brush against the front wheel assembly when the cleaner is returned to the upright position. This ensures stability and prevents unintended movement while the vacuum is not in use.

Model 116 brushes won't turn.
The brushes on Kenmore model 116 may not turn for the following reasons:
1. The hose is not fully inserted. The brush assembly will not turn if the hose is not fully connected.
2. The belt is broken. A broken belt prevents the brush from turning and must be replaced.
3. The brush is worn and may need replacement.
4. The tripped belt protection feature may have activated.
