How To Repair A Vacuum Handle - Don't just use tape!

[@valeriepung5041]

Thank you for this, I was twisting the cuff the wrong way - saved my vacuum repair project!

[@RyokanDaigu]

Thanks for mentioning that the hose cuff screws in the opposite direction! I was wondering why it wouldn't screw on. Also, one should not press too hard on the clips of the clip ring, because they might break (which happened to one of mine). Finally, if you are not able to pull the broken part of the hose out of the hose cuff (because it is glued), simply start pulling on the spiral-like material of the hose and it will progressively detach itself from the hose cuff as you pull. A really useful video! Thanks to you, I was able fix my hose in just a few minutes, reusing the original parts and not having to go to the store. All I did was to disassemble, cut off the broken part and put everything back. Wonderful!

Thanks for the great video. It saved me from buying a new Vacuum. I ordered the parts from he vacuumspot online shop and they were delivered in 3 business days. Just one note: the problem mentioned in the video about the click ring: I have the same issue, and I had to fix with a lot of force, but it did not click naturally on a Voltra vacuum cleaner (model 2006).

Having owned a shop for years I have seen this repair confuse many a vacuum owner. I have a similar video embeded on our site and it gets watched many times

Great man, even in 2023. God bless you!

Hi Alec, helpful video. What if it breaks at the other end, near the vacuum cleaner?

[@Euodia-kg4gr]

Hi how can i make my own clips for my vacuum hoover to attach the top back to the basket. Can you please help

[@WJCTechyman]

Electrified hoses are a bit more complex but the tip still fundamentally applies. Rainbow hoses are a bit tricky as well but same idea, you just have to take the time to remove the pieces of hose from the cuff, add adhesive and then thread it in. Oh, they call it a cuff because it resembles cuffs on various shirts, jackets and sweaters.

Thanks man! you have saved me 100 euros which i would have spent on a new vacuum cleaner :) thanks a ton!!

[@NYTruthseeker]

Help, my vacuum hose in USA does not have the click release part, appears to be permanent. any thoughts? Thank you!

[@darkthemesociety]

Thanks Bro. You saved me buying a new hoover :)

[@GlennDavidBeatty]

Alec, we have an ancient but rarely used Whirlpool FC7000XMO and the hose is hosed and needs replacing. Part number is 744191 and/or WPL-4148437 - either way it is no longer made. Please recommend a person to fix this issue...and/or where I can buy a hose to replace it (any color but black)... will ship it anywhere in the u.s. - please respond asap! Glenn

[@cherylgillam4365]

I have Wertheim 5030 that has split in the same spot as the one in your video. Can I fix it the same way. Mine is the first type of handle for the 5030. Not the gas handle looking one. I do not want to have to pay $169.00 for a new one if I do not have too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Where can I get hose caff? Is this fit any kind of hose?

[@desireuys2794]

My hose bends near the machine. How can I fix that? Can I lenghten my hose a bit? That you for the video!

[@rodturner6757]

1:10 Alec finally gets the tape off :-)

[@NigadooNB]

Good video but my Shark Navigator vacuum does not have a hose handle like this one and can't be repaired like this one shown. So my only option was to buy a new handle or tape it which I did. I live in Canada.

[@AdamsCarWashVids]

i have a electrolux model 337 and the original hose is loose on the machine end of it, and sometimes it comes out and due to the design it does not use a click ring and hose cuff. before i go down to my local godfreys (vacuum shop and service center for those not in Australia) to get it repaired or replaced i thought why not try KZbin and see of what it has to offer

[@lonnieg5900]

How do I know which size the hose is? Diameter or circumference?

[@shahnulislam9897]

Sooooo I have a Hart ShopVac and it doesn't have any tabs at the base of the hose .... what now lol

[@882ashok]

Thanks a lot Alec for your video. I could repair my vacuum handle in 2 mins :-).

[@chessdude67]

Duct Tape is the answer to all problems on planet earth! :) Your fix it looks a bit better, lol! Thumbs up! Tim 

[@WJCTechyman]

I know this is an old comment but are you familiar with Red Green? He usually fixes random stuff with, "The handyman's secret weapon: Duct tape!"

[@slodown3670]

Thanks! You saved me a few £s!!

[@adippaudel3588]

sorry but i couldnt find the lock on samsung SC4130. could anyone help me??

[@sracbufe9050]

Struggling with it as well as it only has just 2 holes in the two opposite sides, but no bit in them to push in. Did you find any solution to it?

[@thehonestkitchen4308]

Thank youu

[@mariadow4716]

i never tape the hose up on my henry hoover

[@saranga6869]

Thanks M8t!!

[@beejay2431]

you don't seem to be in the USA. I repaired Vacs for some 20 plus years in the USA and have NEVER seen that type of vac. hose. Therefore that's a simple repair in your country, not mine, but thanks for the video anyway.

[@marktodd700]

by Teresa: easy fix but doesnt apply to a rexair rainbow :( no clicky thing

[@JimTom.]

not for some, thats wat the video is for.......
