SEBO Complete Front Cover for ESSENTIAL G4 — Black

Black is the alternative finish for the ESSENTIAL G4 — the version SEBO catalogues as machine 90406BE — and 51151BE is the front cover moulded to suit it, supplied complete. SEBO lists every colour of this panel at the same place on its ESSENTIAL exploded drawing, item 41, so the code you order by is really the colour rather than a different shape.

This is the panel that swings open for a bag change and shuts again over the bag chamber, which is why it collects furniture scuffs and eventually cracks around the hinge bosses or wears its catch face flat. A cover that will not close square lets air past the compartment, and that is felt as poor pickup long before anything looks broken. The other tell is a door that has to be pressed and held before the catch takes, which points at the release rather than the panel.

Anyone searching for a SEBO G4 front cover, a black bag door or a replacement bag compartment panel is looking for this number. The chamber it closes over is 51150HG and the bumper base beneath it is 51102HG, so a machine that has taken a hard knock can be put right in one order. A door taken off a scrapped machine rarely fits as well as it looks, since the hinge bosses are the first thing to age and a second-hand panel arrives carrying the same wear as the one being replaced. Ordering the cover complete puts a fresh set of those mouldings on the machine instead. Genuine SEBO part, authorized dealer stock, shipping in 2–5 business days.
