SEBO Switch Cap Holder for ESSENTIAL G1, G2, G4 and G5 — Light Gray

ESSENTIAL series uprights use a light gray surround around the power switch, and part 5161HG is that component for the ESSENTIAL G1, G2, G4 and G5. It anchors the switch cap to the housing and absorbs the pressing force that would otherwise land directly on the switch body.

Holders fail at their clip legs, which lets the cap rock in place or drop out entirely. Since the surround is what transfers foot pressure into the housing, a broken one shortens the life of the switch sitting behind it — so a cap that has fallen off twice is a holder problem, not a cap problem. Replacing it restores a firm, square seat and stops the cap from creeping out of line every time the machine is started. Because the housing around it is light gray, a broken holder shows as a dark gap at the edge of the cap well before the cap itself gives any trouble.

People find this listing searching for a SEBO switch cap holder, a G5 switch surround or a light gray switch frame. It is the genuine SEBO moulding in the factory colour, which matters on a visible panel where an aftermarket copy stands out. Take the machine off the mains before working around the switch, and press the new cap home only once the holder is properly seated. Ordering cap 5160GS at the same time saves a second visit into the housing. Ships in 2–5 business days.
