Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Wands measure 16.5" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/4"

ebay is your friend. Lots of Hoover parts being sold there. It is useful to find out if the wands you want are used by other models, which I would bet is the case. You might also try Sears Parts Direct. They sell parts for many brands of vacuum besides Kenmore. Example, I have a late 1980s vintage Hoover Dimension 1000 canister vacuum and Sears stocks nearly all the parts for it including most of the body panels. About the only things you can't find for that machine are the wheels, outer body, hose (but you can rebuild old Hoover hoses with a normal Kenmore three wire hose blank as long as the original ends are still ok) and thermal switch. They show the front caster being no longer available but it turns out to be identical to the front caster of half a dozen other Hoover canisters. Poke around Vacsite.com, EZVacuum.com and appliancefactoryparts. They have diagrams and parts numbers and in some cases show which modes a part fits. Hoover parts are pretty abundant.
