The clip that attaches the elbow to the body of the vacuum and the hose is broken off. I Need a new one and can not find it in the parts lists. Whats it called and am I able to buy a new one?

Same happened to me and I wound up using two zip ties to secure it in place. Works just like normal.

I found some on eBay for $8. It’s called a lower hose latch on there.

Shark doesn’t sell a replacement. I designed one and put it up on eBay for $8 plus shipping. I send two pieces (since it’s easy to break it while installing) and a replacement spring, since those tend to go flying. People seem pretty happy with them.

Makes me mad when companies don’t sell a replacement for small, easily breakable parts on relatively expensive items. Just adds to the landfills.

Did you put the zip tie where the spring would go from the red clip?

There is someone on ebay who apparently made the piece and sell them for $8.00 plus shipping. However I also used a wide heavy zip tide and it works perfectly.

Speaking of which, did the part work for you, Major?
Hey, did you put the zip tire where the spring went or what did you place?
The clip without the spring actually worked and held the elbow in place I would use it in combination with a zip tie to insure the elbow seats properly

It’s called a rear hose swivel valve and latch.
Shark does not sell it. Found it used for 40. Knock off for 28. Crazy prices. Have not purchased.
this is the item

I used gorilla tape but am now going to add a zip tie
@kak708 will not buy from shark again if I cannot get parts to fix it, mine broke also I do not like to half ass fix things.
Hose reel swivel spring. Took me days to find out what that part was called

So my red clip broke and when I ordered it, I thought I was ordering it. They sent me the whole elbow attachment so as I’m trying to put the new attachment on thinking, I don’t need the clip. I’ve taken the middle spring and the middle piece of the inside of it came off I don’t know how to put it back on ultimately how do I replace the red clip or rig so that it works thank you.

My exact same problem. I can see where the clip fits but I don't see how to install it without breaking something else. There is a Phillips screw behind the rotating elbow support but it may release the spring which would be an additional problem. Any suggestions appreciated.
