I have the same problem. It appears the spool housing mounted on the shaft has stripped out and the part has been discontinued. I hope I don't have to toss the trimmer, everything else works great.

My housing is doing the same. Falls off when I start the trimmer. Did anyone find a replacement part (Housing)?
Auto Spool Feed Failure Question by johnjulie
Although all the parts seem to be in place on my GH400 edger, the new line will not feed and breaks off 1 inch outside the spool housing. I thought there may be a part missing but that does not seem to be the case. Any help is appreciated.
The spool housing on my GH400 type 3 trimmer does not attach tothe motor spindal anylonger. Is there a replacement part for that? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks
