Simplicity / Riccar Agitato...

Product details
B388-2400C is the acrylic felt top seal for the agitator chamber on PV and MV coded Riccar and Simplicity uprights. This felt closes off the space where the brushroll housing meets the machine body, so suction pulls through the carpet rather than leaking around the edges.
- Position: top of agitator chamber
- Material: acrylic felt
- Fits: PV and MV coded Riccar and Simplicity uprights
- Part number: B388-2400C
Felt like this compresses and mats with fine dust over years of use, and once it stops touching the housing the machine can sound completely normal while lifting very little. A quiet motor paired with weak pickup is exactly the pattern that points to this seal rather than the motor or belt.
A seal that has gone stiff rather than simply compressed is a sign it should have been replaced sooner, since felt that no longer flexes cannot hold steady contact with the housing as the brushroll spins. Inspect the felt on both sides of the chamber at the same time, since it wears at a similar rate. Vacuums and More is an authorized Simplicity dealer and can help confirm the coding on your agitator before you order. Ships to you in 2-5 business days.
