Rexair E-2 Canister Face Plate
$11.99
Product details
Part R12039 is the molded panel that covers the front of a Rexair E-2 canister body, the surface that takes the brunt of the everyday bumps and knocks a canister picks up as it is carried and set down.
A crack in this panel goes beyond appearance alone. Once it stops seating flush against the rest of the housing, the body starts flexing in a spot that was engineered to stay rigid, which introduces a new rattle that simply was not present when the unit was still new. Owners typically spot the visible crack itself first and only connect it to that new noise sometime later, even though the two were really the same underlying issue from the start.
Left in place, that flex around a cracked panel tends to widen the crack further with continued use, since every knock the canister takes from then on lands on a panel that can move instead of one held rigid, and a panel loose enough to shift can eventually stop staying put at all.
Fitting a replacement means removing the old panel, seating the new one squarely against the body, and securing it evenly so nothing is left standing proud of the surface. Check that the plate sits flush before fixing it down fully, since one pulled down crooked tends to crack again in the very same spot. A minute spent confirming the seat before the panel is finally secured saves having to repeat the whole job a second time. Confirm your canister is the E-2 before ordering, since that is the only model this plate is listed against.
