Hoover Upright Socket - U5458
$6.99
Product details
Hoover part 47173015 is the electrical socket for the U5458 upright, and it carries across to the U6485100, U6485200, U6485300, U6485900 and UH50000 as well. A socket is a plug-in connection point in the machine's electrical path, the design choice that makes it a serviceable part instead of a permanent joint.
Sockets fail slowly and quietly. Heat from current draw and years of vibration work the contacts loose inside the housing, and the connection they make starts to depend on exactly how the wire is sitting rather than being solid every time. What shows up on the machine is intermittent behavior somewhere downstream, power that cuts in and out when the cord or handle is moved a certain way, or a component that keeps acting up even once the obvious part on the far side of the circuit has already been swapped.
That second scenario is the giveaway. If a new switch, cord, or motor brush has not fixed the fault, the socket feeding it is the next place to look before assuming the new part is defective. Gently moving the nearby wiring while the machine runs, carefully, and only to observe, can confirm the diagnosis before you commit to opening the housing for a full replacement.

The replacement takes the place of the original socket, so this is a straight swap rather than a rewire. Match your machine's model number to the list here before placing the order.
