Mend Kenmore 4.0 Model Electric Cord

How to fix a Kenmore canistor vacuum ,4.0. maybe 1990 model?

I want to know how to open up the vacuum to access the electric cord return and power. The cord isn't rewinding fully and the power doesn't stay on unless the cord is pulled all the way out and hooked on the cord holder.

A full model number is helpful, but from the rest of the description, it sounds like the classic problem with many of the cord reels in Kenmores. The contacts wear and burn over time inside the cord reel and eventually lose contact. If it's the older canister (not Progressive or whispertone), then you have the old style cord reel, and it can't be properly repaired. It would need a new cord reel assembly.
