A resource I appreciate.
I'm decently skilled at repairing electrical and mechanical equipment myself and having one source for most repair parts lets me concentrate on the job, not parts hunting. eReplacementParts has saved me a lot of money already.

Great part but did not need the whole assemply.
The switch was all I needed and all that I used. The wiring was not necessary and I just ended up throwing the wiring out. Why can't you just offer the switch for sale?

Hoover vacuum power switch jammed ON or OFF
Mark - October 22, 2016

Tool Type
Vacuum
Difficulty
Easy
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Heatshrink tubing, solder, wire cutters
Parts Used
Disconnect power. Remove 7 phillips head screws holding handle clamshell together and pry assembly apart far enough to push the faulty rocker switch out of the handle housing. Cut the two wires about 6" from the switch. Insert new switch which already has new wires attached to it. Cut the new switch wires to a length to enable splicing to the wires still on the vacuum. Strip the wires and splice together just like the original wiring with solder and heat shrink tubing or use insulated crimp-on butt-end splices for a no-heat, no solder method. Dress the wires in the proper handle internal grooves to avoid pinches. Reinstall the screws, plug the vacuum into a wall outlet, and test the switch.
