Motor Gasket - Hoover 1100
$6.99
Product details
The motor gasket for the Hoover 1100, part 012154. It seals the joint between the motor and the housing around it, so the air the motor moves follows the path it is supposed to.
Gaskets get cooked by the heat of the motor they sit against. They harden, they lose their compression, and eventually they crack, and the leak that follows is invisible. Nothing looks blocked, nothing sounds broken, yet the machine is down on suction because a share of the air is short-circuiting around the motor instead of coming up through the nozzle.
A new gasket restores the seal. It is cheap enough to be worth fitting whenever the motor comes out for any other reason, rather than putting an old, hardened one back in.
