Oreck Baseplate with Overmo...

Product details
Oreck built the LW100 Magnesium around keeping its weight down, and that puts real demands on the baseplate: it has to stay featherweight while still absorbing whatever the machine runs into down at floor height. Part 83000-01 is that baseplate, supplied complete with its overmold already in place.
Baseplates crack from use that has nothing to do with cleaning itself: a bump against a door frame, a catch on a stair nosing, or the machine tipping onto its base while being carried. Once cracked, the plate flexes at a spot that is supposed to stay rigid, which throws off how evenly the nozzle rides the floor. If the overmold starts peeling away from the plate, a harder, bare edge starts dragging across your floors in place of the cushioned edge Oreck built in.
Because this ships as the finished assembly and not a bare plate needing its own trim, the LW100 reassembles just as it came apart, with nothing extra to source or fit for the edge. When installing it, handle the plate by its rigid body rather than by the overmold, since prying on a soft molded edge is how a fresh overmold gets separated from its plate before it ever touches a floor.
- Part: 83000-01
- Fits: Oreck LW100 Magnesium upright
- Function: baseplate with overmold edge, complete assembly
- Symptom: cracked plate, nozzle flex, or overmold peeling from the edge
- Before ordering: look the old plate over for hairline cracks away from the obvious break as well, since a plate that has taken one hard knock has usually taken others
Confirm your machine is the LW100 Magnesium before ordering, since this plate is listed for the LW100 Magnesium only.
