    Replaced a cracked door handle on my Hoover Performa Plus PPA146-80 but the door isn’t catching in the slot. There is a wee bit of wear from the spring mechanism (circled in red in the photographs for details). I replaced all the door handle assembly parts parts with new OEM replacements. Even after trying to fit the new parts I re-fitted the old one to just check and now that won’t work – it just doesnt seem to catch in the slot.

    Any ideas on what I have done wrong or is wrong?

    Hi Dave

    Well that is pretty embarassing!! 😳 😳

    Have you got a picture of the correct assembly so I can look at it tonight – naturally I forgot to take a picture when I was disassembling it last night. I assume the hook points away from the glass and spring touches the back face of the hook if you know what I mean?
