Product details
This center tube, part 4370612, replaces the middle section of airway tubing on Kenmore canister vacuums, one segment of the sealed airway carrying suction from the hose down to the floor tool.
Any joint or crack that develops along that tube bleeds air before it ever gets to the carpet, so a canister with a perfectly healthy motor can still clean poorly if the wand between the hose and the floor nozzle has developed a fault of its own. A split along the tube wall, a joint that no longer seats firmly, or visible cracking near either connection end are the usual culprits, and reduced pickup at the floor tool is often the first symptom noticed even though the actual problem sits well up the airway from where it shows.
A wand that appears fine from a quick glance can still be leaking at a joint that only opens up under the flex of normal use, which is part of why pickup can drop off gradually rather than all at once when this part starts to fail. Running a hand along the airway while the machine is on, feeling for a faint hiss at any seam, is a quick way to narrow down where the leak actually sits. This part is cataloged only as a center tube, so confirm its exact position against your machine's parts diagram before ordering.
Connection fittings differ across the range of canister wands sold under the Kenmore name, so our staff can check the exact hose and floor tool connections against your rating plate number if you stop into any of our locations before ordering.
