Substitutes for Kenmore 5023 Vacuum Bags

Part Number

• The original part number for the Kenmore 5023 vacuum bag is 762675. The substitute bag can be found using the original part number. However, the substitute bag’s part number is 500006, according to the Sears direct parts website, at time of publication. Sears and other vacuum parts retailers sell the bag. The vacuum bag fits the Kenmore model series E canister vacuums. The replacement bag is designed to fit a variety of older model Kenmore canister vacuums.

Price

• The price of the vacuum bags varies based on the manufacturer and retailer. Some manufacturers make the substitute bag to reduce allergens. Because there are many substitute bags manufactured, check with a vacuum parts retailer or Sears, Kenmore’s authorized retailer, to find the best-quality vacuum bags.

Changing the Bag

• To change the bag, turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the outlet. Detach the hose from the canister. Press the release button to open the canister. Remove the old vacuum bag by pulling the cardboard tab away from the suction opening and lifting the bag out. Attach the new bag securely to the suction opening and close the canister lid.

Maintenance

• Along with changing the bag, the motor and exhaust filter should be replaced routinely. Like the substitute bags, manufacturers also have replacement filters available for the Kenmore 5023 vacuum. When filters are clogged with dust and debris, the motor works harder to operate the vacuum. Keep the brush roller free from debris and obstructions. Kenmore vacuums will operate like new if you perform standard maintenance, which includes changing the vacuum bag and filters.
