Hi, all.
My in-laws have an Oreck Elevate Command, Model UK30200. Just maybe a couple of months ago, they had it in the shop to replace the top handle, which had broken off. Well...it happened again. I know my MIL is very rough with things, and admits that she picks it up by the top handle, instead of the somewhat more durable handle further down. What I'm wondering is if anyone has ever replaced the upper handle on one of these. I see that there's two wires that go into the handle. Is there any chance that they just plug in, or are they actually hard wired in somehow? If they just plug in, I'd be willing to get a handle from eBay or something, and replace it for them. But, I don't mess with wiring; even stuff that others might consider simple. Thank you for your help! Barry |

Thank you, Mike.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd be interested in seeing pictures. Normally, I don't touch wiring. But, if it doesn't seem too complicated, I might give it a shot. It would help if I saw pictures, so I'd have an idea what to expect before I try to get into it and find that I'm in over my head. Thanks again. Barry |
