Kenmore Charging Adapter - ...
$81.99
Product details
This charging adapter is the replacement charger for the Kenmore DS6028 stick vacuum, also matched to the 10440, 10441, and DS6025. It supplies the voltage and current those packs are built around, and using an adapter matched to the pack counts for more on cordless vacuums than most people expect, since an off-spec charger can shorten or damage the battery inside over time.
A failed charger tends to announce itself plainly rather than causing a slow decline. If the vacuum no longer charges at all, or shows no sign of taking a charge once the adapter is plugged into the wall, the adapter itself is the more likely fault over the battery pack behind it. Try a different wall outlet first to rule that variable out before ordering a replacement, since a dead outlet looks identical to a dead adapter from the vacuum's side.
- Part: charging adapter, part 561025120
- Fits: Kenmore 10440, 10441, DS6025, and DS6028 stick vacuum
- Function: supplies charging current matched to the vacuum's battery pack
- Tip: test the outlet before assuming the adapter itself has failed
An adapter that physically plugs into a vacuum is not automatic proof it delivers the correct output, which is why matching the model number against the list on this page is the reliable way to land on the right part. This adapter is matched to the four Kenmore models named here and nothing beyond them, so treat the model label on your machine as the deciding word before ordering. Inspect the plug and cord before installing a replacement, since a cracked jacket or a barrel connector that wiggles loosely in the vacuum's charging port is a sign the old adapter was already failing mechanically and not just electrically. A firm, snug fit at the port is what tells you the connection is making full contact.
