SEBO Access Door with Axle and Spring for X Series Uprights — Orange

Sold built up rather than as a bare molding, 5172OR is the orange access door used across SEBO's AUTOMATIC X series uprights, and it arrives with its axle and return spring already on it. The X4/X5 exploded diagram lists the door at position 126 and notes that positions 127 and 128 come with it — those are axle 5303 and spring 5304 — so a single order covers the door and the pivot hardware that makes it swing and close.

The access door is opened whenever the brush roller area needs clearing, which on a busy machine means constantly. That duty cycle is why it is one of the more frequently broken parts on any upright: the hinge lugs take the load, the spring keeps trying to return it, and eventually a corner cracks or the axle bore wears oval. A door that will not latch flat leaves a gap in the underside of the head, and the head loses some of its seal against the carpet.

• Part number: 5172OR
• Colour: orange
• Supplied with: axle 5303 and spring 5304, diagram positions 127 and 128
• Diagram position: 126 on the AUTOMATIC X4/X5 parts breakdown
• Fits: AUTOMATIC X1, X2, X4, X4 Boost, X5, X7 Premium, X7 Pet and X8

Buying the assembled version saves sourcing a separate axle and return spring and then building the hinge up on the bench, and it means the pivot surfaces are all new to each other. Anyone searching for a SEBO access door, an X series brush roller door or an orange sole plate door replacement is in the right place with 5172OR. The axle and spring are also catalogued individually as 5303 and 5304 if only one of them has failed and the door itself is sound.
