Oreck Metal Fan Seal Cup - ...
$8.99
Product details
The fan is what actually generates suction inside a vacuum, spinning fast enough to pull air, and the dirt riding in it, up through the nozzle and into the bag. On the Oreck 9300 Series upright, the fan seats against a metal seal cup, part 430000973, that keeps the airflow path sealed tight around the fan hub instead of leaking air around it.
A worn or damaged seal cup lets air bypass the fan blades at the point where they should be pulling their hardest, which shows up as suction that has fallen off even though the motor sounds normal and the filters and bag are clean. It is an easy part to overlook during a repair because it does nothing dramatic on its own; it just quietly stops doing its job, and it can be mistaken for a filter or bag problem if you do not open the housing far enough to see it.
Replacing the seal cup is most often done alongside fan or motor work rather than on its own, since reaching it means opening the same housing. If you already have the machine apart for another repair, it is worth checking the condition of this seal cup while everything is accessible, rather than closing the machine back up and finding the same suction complaint returns later.
