Riccar Motor Housing Latch ...
$6.99
Product details
The catch that keeps the motor housing shut on the Riccar R60 and Simplicity S60 broom vacuum is sold separately as C669-0400. Being a thin plastic tab under constant spring tension, it is typically the first component on this platform to give out.
Losing this latch will not keep the vacuum from running, but the housing stops sitting flush once it happens. A housing that no longer locks down tends to buzz in use and can let the motor shift within the shell, so this is worth swapping the moment it snaps rather than tolerating the play.
- Part: motor housing latch
- Fits: Riccar R60, Simplicity S60 broom vacuums
- Part number: C669-0400
Look for cracking around the pocket the latch snaps into, since that would mean the housing itself needs attention too. What ships here under this listing is the small catch alone; the housing it fastens to carries its own separate part number even when the latch failed first.
