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.
