Oreck Cord Hook - XL / U Se...
$8.99
Product details
An Oreck upright stores its power cord wrapped around cord hooks, and this is the replacement hook for the U3840 lightweight along with a long list of related XL and U-series machines. Oreck sells it as part 430001073.
The hook itself is a small molded piece, and it fails in one of two ways: the base snaps off at its mounting, or the lip that keeps the wrapped cord from sliding upward wears down until the cord slips free on its own. Either way, the cord ends up unwinding in storage and dragging across the floor as you clean, which shortens the cord's own working life in turn.
A replacement hook mounts where the old one sat, so this is a quick fix rather than a project. While the tools are out, look over any other cord hook on your machine as well, since one that has failed from age or fatigue is rarely the only one near the end of its life. A hook that is cracked but still hanging on is worth changing at the same time, because the cord loads it every time the machine is put away and a partial crack rarely stops spreading on its own.

- Before ordering: match your model number to the list above and compare the old hook's mounting against the replacement before you take anything apart
Because this hook design carried across many Oreck generations, confirm your model number before ordering to make sure the mounting matches and the hook seats flush without leaving a gap where the cord can catch.
