Kirby Avalir Cord Hook
$6.99
Product details
The cord on a Kirby Avalir wraps around a hook on the handle fork; part 173814 replaces it, and it fits the Avalir, Avalir 2 and Avalir Platinum.
Hooks break at the root, almost always because the cord gets yanked off in a hurry rather than unwound. The failure is not subtle. The hook is simply gone, and afterwards the cord will not stay on the machine: it falls off in the closet, follows you around the room, and eventually gets rolled over by the nozzle. Being run over damages cords far more often than plugging and unplugging ever does.
Fitting takes a screwdriver and a couple of minutes. While the cord is unwrapped, run it through your hands and look for nicks or flat spots in the jacket, which are the reason to retire a cord rather than simply rewrap it.
