Product details
Under part KC70NDDUZ000, this latch spring supplies the tension that keeps a canister lid closed while the motor is running. Without it the lid will not stay latched once the housing is under suction, and everything downstream of that seal stops working the way it should.
Documented fit runs across Kenmore's 116-series canisters, including 116.23108900C, 116.23108901C and 116.23108902C, the 116.23109900C through 116.23109904C run, 116.23110800C and 116.23110801C, 116.28014700, 116.28015700, 116.29914900, 116.29914901 and 116.29915900, along with the matching 116.53108900C, 116.53109900C, 116.53110800C, 116.58014700 and 116.58015700 numbers.
A fatigued spring gives warning before it snaps. The lid starts popping open under light bumps, then during ordinary use, and dust escapes from the seam while suction falls off because the housing is no longer sealed. The spring does no work at all with the lid open, which is why one that has lost its tension can look perfectly normal sitting loose in your hand and still fail the moment it is asked to hold a lid shut against airflow.

Check the full model number on your machine's rating plate against the list before ordering. The 116 range spans a great many builds and the complete model number is the only reliable way to confirm a match on a part this small.
