The description says it fits all "795" Kenmore models. I have a 795 and there's no way it fits. My filter is like half the size of this one. Am I doing something wrong? Planning on returning this due to the incorrect description unless someone has some...

I have the LG and these filters are pretty specific. I can't imagine an LG filter fitting into a Kenmore.

Sorry, we do not know much about the exact models. Kenmores can be very difficult. We recommend contacting sears for accuarate info. Thanks

Everything up to the #40324 is true, and whether that number is the new replacement part at Sears I can't say for sure. But my old filter had the "Model #86889" number printed on it and the filter did too. The package wrapper stated "Designed to fit KENMORE EF-1" and "Sold by Sears".The filters were IDENTICAL but for the dirt on the old one. The Sears store replacement was 4 times as much so I figured I had little to lose trying it, and very glad I did.

I had a terrible time trying to figure out what would fit, and bought this, the wrong hose, the first time. Then I found the website vacpartswarehouse.com. You have to find your model number (mine is on the plate at the bottom of the vacuum) and then search for that model. The page lists every single part that works for that model, including the extra-long hose (in my case, model U5759 calls for part 43434043). The drawback is that it doesn't work for regular floor-cleaning, so I switch back and forth, using the hose that came with the vacuum normally, the extra-long hose for jobs where I am reaching up high.

Hi Marshall, i have the same model and this filter fits it perfectly. Just remember to not discard the rod that holds the filter. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sorry but I'm not sure as mine is a Cuisinart and not sure about the Kenmore. I guess if Cuisinart co told you this was the right one, I would go with it. Worst thing is you would have to return because it might not fit.

Hmmm... I haven't read all of the reviews, but I understand your confusion. Personally, my replacement filter fit just fine. I looked at my vaccum to be sure of the model.

Not sure the answer but check to see if there is a decal on your kenmore vacuum which should have details about part numbers such as filter, belt etc.

For the pre-filter to fit any model filter it needs to be cut to size. Its a messy job because tiny pieces from the cut spread easily throughout the work area. After gaining some experience, I made a cardboard templet and using the part of the stick on strips provided, glued them on the templet. I next laid the large floppy pre-filter flat on a large work area and placed the templet w/stick on strips facing the pre-filter on top. This firmed up the pre-filter material making it easier to cut a more accurate duplicate. A lot of work but found it necessary because pre-cut to fit pre-filters seem not to be readily available, well not for my older model filter. All said and done, it works. Good luck with your search for a pre-cut to size. Can't find one, hope this info will helps.

I didn't notice that when I bought it but went with which models of Whirlpool that it fit. The part number itself is just a stocking thing on their side but you want to make sure it fits the model you have. Worked great for us!

I found two versions of this filter in my local Sears. One was for threaded setup and one was for non-threaded setup/installation. My vac has threads, so I knew to get the right one. Both were 9-17816. The one I got looks different than the picture here (it has a full ring around both the top and bottom of the filter) So be careful which one you order, I guess.

They are the same thing! We crossed match numbers and found it to be a lot cheaper then the Kenmore or going to Sears to get the filter. they work just like the kenmore because they are the same filter and work in the same way. Fit well and good performance, you will enjoy the savings.

Hello, NO, this filter will not work. I checked the net and it says the filter that is a fit is 7-3/4" x 9" x 3/32. We have this filter set in our listings and store. Thanks for asking Dave

This same thing happened to me. Regarding the previous commenters suggesting that it was just a tight fit or that I wasn't lining up the rails correctly was not the case. The filter I received was literally 3-4 inches too wide and was also only 4 inches tall. I think I just received the wrong size.

Gilbert...who are "they"? You may want to contact Winix as they have a customer service department that should be able to answer your questions. Also, from looking at images of both brands and comments that I found on the Internet, it appears that the Kenmore 85500 is a rebrand of the Winix. Sometimes dimensions are approximations, i.e., 9.5" water filter is called 10". Hope that helps. Steve "Texas Dude"

I looked the two part numbers up online and they seem to have the same dimensions. Appliance Parts dot com shows that the part number 240356405 is the Kenmore and 240356401 is the Frigidaire and they sell them as interchangeable. My best guess would be that it should fit.

Kenmore doesn't have a replacement filter? From what you measured there would be a one inch gap which I think will defeat the purpose, you'd want a good seal. You might consider just buying the Winix which is a great product.
