140197902012 Genuine Front Wheel Shaft for Electrolux Vacuum Cleaners, Bacchus Front Wheel Axle Replacement

140197902012 is a genuine Electrolux front wheel shaft, the small axle that carries the front wheel. It's tagged Bacchus in the Electrolux description and sits among Electrolux vacuum cleaner parts in our numbering, so we've listed it as a vacuum part. If a front wheel has seized, wobbles or has fallen off, a worn or broken shaft is often the reason. Match the number to your parts list first.

Vacuum wheel dragging or wobbling? Check the shaft

Wheels let the vacuum roll smoothly behind you or across the floor without scraping. The shaft is what they turn on, and it takes the weight of the machine plus every bump against furniture and door frames. Hair and thread wind tightly around it, dust packs into the hub, and a hard knock can bend or snap it. Signs include a wheel that won't turn, drags and leaves marks on hard floors, squeaks, wobbles from side to side or has come off altogether. Cleaning helps for a while, but a bent shaft needs replacing.

Replacing the wheel shaft

Unplug the vacuum, or remove the battery on a cordless model, and empty the dust container. Turn it over on a towel and check how the wheel and shaft are held, often by a clip, cover or screw. Clear any hair from the hub while it's apart. Slide the new shaft through, refit the wheel and fasteners, and spin the wheel by hand to make sure it turns freely.
