Hoover Concept Upright Tension Spring

Part 160095AY is a tension spring for the Hoover Concept upright. A spring like this holds a moving part under steady pressure so it stays seated where it is designed to sit, and it does that quietly enough that it is rarely the first thing anyone suspects.

When a tension spring weakens or snaps, whatever it holds in place loses that pressure. On an upright, that typically shows up as looseness, rattling, or a part that no longer seats the way it should, even though the rest of the machine still runs normally. Swapping in a fresh spring is a small, inexpensive fix that restores proper tension without any other repair.

It fits the Hoover Concept upright models U3103, U3105, U3107, U3109, U3223, U3225, U3301, U3303, U3305, U3307, U3309 and U3311. Confirm your model against this list before ordering, and compare the spring you are taking out against the replacement for coil length and hook style before fitting it.
