Kenmore Intuition Bagged Replacement Bags

Recommended Replacement

  • Product: Kenmore Intuition Vacuum Cleaner Bags
  • Part number: IB600
  • Confirmed Intuition fitment: BU3040, BU4018, BU4019, BU4020, BU4021, BU4022, BU4023, and BU4050
  • Type: Genuine Kenmore OEM
  • Pack quantity: 6 bags

Need help locating a part? Call Kenmore Floor Care at 1-877-531-7321 and reference Part # IB600.

BU4022 uses a four-light bag-fill indicator. Replace the bag when all of the bag-fill LEDs illuminate red continuously. If the indicator continues flashing red after the bag is replaced, check the air path for a blockage. Correct bag fitment matters because an improperly fitted bag can affect debris containment and airflow.

Compatibility note: Kenmore lists IB600 for BU3040, BU4018, BU4019, BU4020, BU4021, BU4022, BU4023, and BU4050. Confirm your exact model number before ordering.

Compatible Bag Alternative

HSLan 6-pack IB600-compatible bags: This is a third-party compatible replacement, not a genuine Kenmore OEM product. The listing identifies compatibility with Kenmore Intuition models including BU4018, BU4020, BU4021, BU4022, and BU4050. Buyer feedback reviewed was generally positive on fit, installation, and value, with fewer concerning fit complaints than other compatible bag options we screened. Exact model fitment should still be confirmed before ordering.

Filter Maintenance

Clean the foam filter with cold water as needed and allow it to air-dry for 24 hours before reinstalling. Clean the HEPA media exhaust filter with cold water every year. Replace either filter if it is worn or broken, or if cleaning no longer restores suction.
Drying note: Allow the filter to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a clothes dryer, hair dryer, heater, or other direct heat source, as excessive heat can damage the filter material. Place it on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area; a fan can help speed natural air-drying.

When Should You Replace the Filter?

Check the filter regularly for visible dirt, reduced airflow, unusual odor, or other signs that it needs cleaning or replacement.

Brush Roll, Belt & Floorhead Replacement Parts

Brush Roll

The Kenmore Intuition BU4022 uses replacement brush roll part number 561060171. This part number has been verified for the BU4022 and BU4023.

Clean wrapped hair and debris from the brush roll regularly. Replace it if the bristles are badly worn, the roller is damaged, or cleaning performance drops because the brush roll is no longer making proper contact with the floor.

If part 561060171 is unavailable from a current parts seller, contact Kenmore Floor Care at 1-877-531-7321 to confirm current service-part availability.

Belt

The BU4022 uses a drive belt, but Kenmore does not list a consumer-orderable belt part number in the owner documentation we found. Kenmore’s troubleshooting guidance directs owners to service assistance when the belt is worn, broken, or incorrectly routed.

For belt service or current replacement-part availability, contact Kenmore Floor Care at 1-877-531-7321.

Floorhead Components

The BU4022 uses a motorized nozzle/floorhead assembly, but we have not verified a separate consumer-orderable OEM part number for the complete floorhead.

Because Kenmore does not publish a replacement number for the assembly in the owner documentation we found, do not order a visually similar nozzle or floorhead based only on appearance.

For current service-part availability or replacement options, contact Kenmore Floor Care at 1-877-531-7321.

Kenmore Intuition Bagged Attachments & Tools

Pet HandiMate

Part number: 561014106
Fitment: Confirmed for the Kenmore Intuition BU4022 and selected other Kenmore models
Type: Genuine Kenmore OEM

The Pet HandiMate is designed for removing pet hair, lint, and embedded debris from upholstery, stairs, fabric-covered furniture, vehicle interiors, and other above-floor surfaces. It is especially useful in homes with pets where a standard crevice or dusting tool may not provide enough agitation to lift hair from fabric.

Because Kenmore uses this tool across more than one vacuum model, confirm your exact model number before ordering to make sure the attachment connection and fitment are correct.

Need help locating the OEM part? Call Kenmore Floor Care at 1-877-531-7321 and reference Part # 561014106.

Deluxe Dusting Brush

Part number: 561060177
Fitment: Current Kenmore replacement for Intuition models, including BU4022
Type: Genuine Kenmore OEM
Compatibility note: The original BU4022 manual lists dusting brush 561016200. Kenmore’s current Intuition replacement listing uses 561060177, so owners searching the older number should confirm current fitment before ordering.

Will These Parts Fit My Kenmore Intuition?

Do not assume that every part labeled for a Kenmore Intuition fits every Intuition model. Confirm the model number on your vacuum and compare it with the replacement part listing before buying. Part numbers are more reliable than visual similarity.

Before ordering: Confirm the exact model number on the vacuum’s identification label. Kenmore Intuition models can use different hoses, wands, filters, and other replacement parts even when the vacuums look similar.

Page scope: BU4022 is the anchor model. Shared OEM consumables and selected tools also fit other Intuition models, but model-specific components such as hoses and wands use different part numbers across the family.

Do not assume compatibility: BU4020, BU4021, BU4022, and BU4050 have different OEM wand and hose part numbers. Always match model and part number for fitment-sensitive components.

Genuine Kenmore Parts vs Compatible Replacements

Genuine Parts

  • Designed for the intended model or model family
  • Usually the simplest fitment choice
  • May cost more than third-party replacements

Compatible / Third-Party Parts

  • VCG only considers a compatible replacement when the listing states exact model or OEM-reference fitment.
  • The manufacturer or seller must be identifiable, and contradictory fitment reports can disqualify a product.
  • Compatible products are labeled as compatible replacements and are never presented as genuine Kenmore OEM.
  • Price alone does not qualify a replacement part.
  • For this page, compatible bag and filter options have cleared the standard; compatible replacements are clearly labeled and are not presented as genuine Kenmore OEM.

How to Keep Your Kenmore Intuition Running Well

  • Do not overfill the vacuum bag.
  • Inspect filters regularly.
  • Remove wrapped hair and debris from the brush roll.
  • Check the hose and air path for clogs if suction drops.
  • Inspect attachment connections for damage or blockages.
  • Replace worn components before they begin affecting cleaning performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bags fit the Kenmore Intuition Bagged?

Kenmore IB600 Intuition Vacuum Cleaner Bags fit BU3040, BU4018, BU4019, BU4020, BU4021, BU4022, BU4023, and BU4050 according to Kenmore’s current OEM fitment listing.

Does the Kenmore Intuition use a HEPA filter?

Yes. BU4022 uses a HEPA media exhaust filter, OEM part 561055118, along with a foam filter, OEM part 561060125. Kenmore also lists filter kit 561060184 containing the HEPA exhaust and foam filters.

How often should I change the bag?

Replace the bag when it is full rather than continuing to run the vacuum with a packed bag. The exact interval depends on how frequently you vacuum and how much debris your home produces.

Can I wash the filter?

The foam filter can be cleaned with cold water as needed and should air-dry for 24 hours before reinstalling. Kenmore says to clean the HEPA media exhaust filter with cold water every year. Replace a filter if it is worn or broken, or if cleaning no longer restores suction.

Where is the model number located?

The model and serial number are printed on the vacuum’s identification label. On Kenmore Intuition bagged upright models, check the lower body/base area of the vacuum and look for the manufacturer label showing the model number, such as BU4022. If you do not see it immediately, tilt the vacuum back and inspect the rear and underside of the lower body before ordering replacement parts.

Are Kenmore Intuition parts interchangeable between models?

Do not assume they are interchangeable. Confirm the exact model and replacement-part number before ordering.

Can I use third-party replacement bags and filters?

For bags, yes, when exact model fitment is supported. The HSLan 6-pack IB600-compatible bags are the compatible bag option currently cleared for this page. They are a third-party replacement, not Kenmore OEM. For filters, compatible replacement options have also cleared our standard and are clearly labeled as compatible replacements, not genuine Kenmore OEM.
