Product details
Part 70316 is the long-neck lower wand listed for the Panasonic MC-CG9658 and for the Kenmore 1920, measuring 17 1/4 inches with a 29.5 inch cord routed through its length. It does two jobs in one piece: holding the power nozzle the correct distance from the handle, and carrying power down to it.
Most failures here are mechanical rather than electrical. Step on the wand or wedge it under a door and it goes slightly out of round, and from then on the nozzle either refuses to seat fully or will not stay locked in. A wand that flickers or cuts the nozzle out only when you push it forward is a different problem, one that points at wiring inside the neck instead of at the nozzle.
This fits the Panasonic MC-CG9658 and the Kenmore 1920. Confirm this is the long-neck version, cut to 17 1/4 inches, before buying, since the shorter wands sold for later machines are not interchangeable with this style.
Measure your current wand rather than trusting the model number by itself, since a machine can pick up mismatched parts over a long life. Unplugging the wand and running a continuity check on the cord is also a quick way to confirm whether the wand is really at fault or the trouble lies further back in the wiring.
