Compatible Kenmore Vacuum Filter

This replacement filter fits fifty listed Kenmore vacuum models including 116.33720201, 116.36922500, 116.32729200 and 116.33913301. It also fits the Panasonic MC-CG917 steamer. The part replaces the original KC38KCEN1000 filter used across these appliances. Buyers with other Kenmore or Panasonic models should verify their part number before ordering.

Replaces KC38KCEN1000 Filter

The filter supersedes part numbers 86889, 8175062 and the earlier 46-2302-02 which was KER-1800 1800. Install it when the original filter shows wear, clogging or reduced airflow. The change restores the vacuum's intended suction path. It does not upgrade filtration beyond the factory specification.

Sustained Airflow Performance

Under continuous vacuum use the filter maintains steady airflow as dust accumulates. Its media resists premature clogging during extended cleaning sessions. The filter handles the same load profile as the original KC38KCEN1000 without collapsing. It is not a HEPA-grade element and does not capture ultrafine particles.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of the 46-2302-03 filter so I can confirm it fits my vacuum?

The filter measures 3-7/8 inches by 5-7/8 inches, matching the original KC38KCEN1000 and 86889 part specifications for compatible Kenmore and Panasonic models.

How do I install this replacement filter correctly in my Kenmore vacuum?

Open the vacuum's filter compartment, remove the old filter, insert the new 46-2302-03 filter with the same orientation, and secure the cover; a common mistake is not seating the filter fully flat before closing the latch.

How often should I replace the 46-2302-03 filter in my Panasonic MC-CG917?

Replace the filter every 6 to 12 months depending on usage, or sooner if suction drops noticeably or the filter material appears clogged or damaged.
