[QUOTE="pgh13, post: 431716, member: 191774"] In the olden days, Hoovers had a spring loaded plate inside the cover which pressed against the edge of a metal disk which was attached to the handle and turned with it. The disk had 2 notches so that it worked like a ratchet so it allowed the handle to swing to the upright position but you had to move the plate down (by pressing the pedal) in order to swing the handle down. Over time the corners wear off the notches and does what yours is doing. [/QUOTE]
