Hoover Latch Assembly S-254...

Product details
At the housing seam of a Hoover S-2541 broom vacuum, a spring-loaded latch holds the two halves closed tightly enough to keep the joint sealed while the motor runs. Part 36153004 is that latch assembly.
Broom vacuums are light machines that get knocked about, and the latch takes the hit whenever one goes over. When it cracks or loses its spring, the housing stops sitting fully closed. You hear that as a rattle that comes and goes, and you feel it as suction that is never quite right, because a housing that is not shut is leaking air along the whole seam.
Our fitment data lists it for the Hoover 2541. Clear dust and debris from the mating edge before snapping the new latch home so it seats to its full depth.
