Eureka/Electrolux Swivel Lo...

Product details
This is the swivel lock fitted to Electrolux Nimble upright vacuums, the small mechanism that pins the swivel-steering neck in a fixed, upright position and frees it again for the tight steering the Nimble series is known for. Locked, the head stays put for storage or straight-ahead pushing. Unlocked, it pivots freely around furniture legs and into tight corners.
Parts listings tie this lock to a specific set of Nimble models rather than to a continuous range, so check yours against the list below. The models it is catalogued for are the EL8602A, EL8605A, EL8605A-1, EL8902A, EL8905A, EL8905AZ and EL8907A. A Nimble outside that list is not covered by these listings even where its model number falls numerically between them.
Because it gets touched every time the lock is engaged or released, this is a part that wears from repeated cycling rather than a single point of failure. A worn lock usually shows up as a neck that will not hold its locked position, springs back to swivel mode on its own, or feels noticeably looser than it did when the machine was new.
- Type: swivel lock, steering-neck mechanism

Cycle a newly installed lock between locked and unlocked several times before returning the machine to service, checking that the neck holds firmly when locked and pivots freely once released. A correctly seated lock should not need force to engage.
