Product details
A cord clip for the Oreck XL 888, 100C and 8300, part 03-00449-01M. It is the small plastic fitting on the machine body that holds the power cord in a wrap when the vacuum is not in use, not the cord itself.
Plastic clips like this one crack or snap off with age and repeated use, usually right at the point where the cord is pulled tight against it during wrapping. Once it breaks, the cord no longer has anywhere to catch, so it unravels and trails on the floor as you move the machine around, which is both a tripping hazard and a good way to put extra strain on the cord itself where it enters the housing. A clip that is only cracked but not fully broken off is worth replacing before it fails completely, since the cord tugging against a weak spot repeatedly is what finishes the job.
It is a simple snap-in replacement rather than anything requiring tools, and matching it to your specific Oreck XL model matters, since Oreck used a few different clip shapes across its XL line over the years. Wrap the cord the same way each time once the new clip is installed, since an inconsistent wrap puts uneven strain on the clip and shortens its life, and avoid wrapping the cord so tightly that it kinks at the point where it meets the clip.
