Rexair-Rainbow Water Pan La...

Product details

Part R7141B is the water pan latch spring for the Rainbow E series canister. It supplies the tension inside the latch that keeps the water pan clamped against the housing while the machine runs.

A spring that has weakened or broken shows up as a latch that no longer closes with any authority. The pan can feel loose, or it can pop open on its own when the canister is lifted by its carry handle, and a loose pan breaks the seal that keeps suction and water where they belong.

Springs like this one fatigue gradually with repeated opening and closing rather than failing all at once, so a latch that used to snap shut firmly and now barely holds is worth checking before anything else on the water pan. Comparing the tension of the old spring against a new one is usually enough to confirm which part is at fault.

Fitting a new spring restores the tension the latch needs to hold the pan shut through normal handling. It is a small, inexpensive part and worth checking first whenever a Rainbow's water pan will not stay latched.
