Hoover Motor Housing - Upright
$13.99
Product details
Part 37193008 is a motor housing cataloged for Eureka and Sanitaire SC580A commercial uprights, and the same housing is also listed for the Oreck PT357. The housing is the molded shell the motor sits inside, bracing it on its mounts and sealing the air path around it.
Housings typically fail from a sharp impact, such as tumbling down a flight of stairs or catching a table leg, rather than from ordinary wear. Once the shell splits, whatever sits inside it can shift and buzz against its mounts, and the opening itself lets grit and uncontrolled air reach the motor, both of which shorten its life.
A change in the machine's running sound right after a drop, or a new rattle that was not there before, is reason enough to check this housing before assuming the motor itself has failed.
Before you install the replacement, check the motor's mounting points for the same kind of hairline cracking that took out the old housing, since a shell that failed once from an impact often means the motor absorbed some of that shock as well.
