SEBO Top Casing for C3.1 — White

Part 6397GW is the white top casing for a SEBO C3.1 — the upper moulding that gives the canister its shape from above, holds the trim components and mates with the lower half of the body.

Three things bring this part into a repair: a hard impact, stress fractures spreading out from one of the internal mounting bosses, and scuffing heavy enough that the owner no longer wants to look at it. The first two are structural. Plastic that has begun to split keeps splitting under the same loads that started it, and a shell that flexes when the lid is pressed will never seat cleanly again. White also shows its history more plainly than the darker finishes, so a mechanically sound machine is sometimes re-shelled purely on looks.

A white C3.1 leaves the factory as a coordinated set of white mouldings, which makes matching part number to finish more important here than on anything internal. The rest of the family: lower shell 6197GW, tool-bay cover 6215SE, cable rewind pedal 6006GW, on/off pedal 6005GW and microfilter holder 6003GW. Bag cover 6093GW is the substantial one, arriving complete with pin 6027ER, its release 6036DG, bearing cover 6039, bag holder 6094 and safety catch 6170ER. Should the machine be red rather than white, the corresponding shell is 6397DR.
