Balance Spring - Hoover 1170

$6.99

Product details

A replacement balance spring for the Hoover 1170, part 160143AY. It supplies the tension in the machine's balance mechanism, and like every working spring it loses rate with age and use.

A tired or broken one shows up in how the machine handles rather than in how it cleans. It will not hold position where you leave it, and the action it controls feels slack and imprecise next to how the machine behaved when it was newer.

There is not much to fitting a spring beyond returning it to the anchor points the old one came off, but compare the free length of old and new before you do. A spring that has stretched will sit in place looking entirely correct while doing nothing at all. This is a 1170 part, so check the model on your data plate before ordering.
