I bought a motor for my kenmore vacuum and, it did not come with a diagram on the wiring system.The model number on my vacuum is 116 20712007. the number to my motor is 119479-00 it would be great to use my vacuum again. Used vacuum cost more than buying the motor.I thank you for your help either way.

if the wires are the same color as the replacement motor just wire it the same way. if the old motor is out wire like colors together. if dirt is not blown into the bag i.e. dirt is blown out of the machine reverse the wires.
