SilverCrest Housing / Chassis Fatigue

Vacuum handle or body creaks and flexes excessively during use

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Cracked plastic housing, Loose internal screws, Impact damage from drops, Worn handle joints

Safety: Remove the battery before tightening screws or opening the housing.

1. Visual inspection: Look for visible cracks or separation lines in the plastic body.
2. Tighten screws: If accessible, gently tighten external screws on the handle and body.
3. Avoid excessive force: Do not use the vacuum as a lever or support; this can worsen cracks.

Severe cracks near load-bearing areas may require replacement of the housing or main body shell.
