Hoover Upright Switch - C18...

Product details
A commercial C1810 gets switched on and off far more in one shift than a home machine sees in a week, and 59156686 is the new-style replacement switch for the platform, a direct swap for the original on the C1810010 and C1810020.
Each start arcs the internal contacts slightly, and heavy daily cycling wears those contacts down faster than light home use ever would. The tell-tale signs are a switch that needs firm pressure or a certain angle to fire the motor, a machine that cuts power the moment the handle is knocked, or one that needs to be worked back and forth before it starts at all. On a commercial C1810 that pace of wear is expected, not a defect.
Because the switch takes so much use on a route, it is common for it to give out before other wear parts on the same unit. If the belt, brush and filters all still look reasonable but starting has become unreliable, put the switch ahead of the motor on your list of suspects.
Unplug the machine before opening the housing, and note where each lead sits before pulling anything loose, since landing a wire on the wrong post will keep the replacement from working right. The new-style body drops into the same mounting cutout as the original, so this is a rewiring job rather than a fabrication one, typically ten minutes with a screwdriver. Cycle the machine several times once it is closed back up, since a commercial route puts more presses through the switch in a day than most households manage in a month.
