Panasonic Upper Agitator Ho...

Product details
The upper agitator holder for Panasonic's MC-655 and MC-658 uprights is part AMC81A-L0Z00, and the same part is listed for the Panasonic 7010. The name describes the job: this moulded piece holds the agitator brush roll located in its proper position in the nozzle so the roll can spin true while the machine works.
A holder that has cracked or worn no longer keeps the roll located the way it should. The roll starts riding slightly out of position, and agitation is what suffers: bristles meet the carpet unevenly, one end of the roll works harder than the other, and passes that used to lift grit start leaving it behind. The motor sounds unchanged through all of it, which is why this small piece of plastic gets overlooked while bags, belts, and filters get swapped instead.
A rattle or knock from the nozzle area that rises and falls with brush speed is another pointer, since a loose holder gives the roll room to move that it was never designed to have. Whenever the brush roll is out for a belt change or a cleaning, it costs nothing to look the holder over under good light. The crack that matters is often a hairline rather than an obvious break, so turn the part in the light instead of glancing at it in place.
Check your machine against the fit list above before ordering. The word upper matters here: match part AMC81A-L0Z00 to the upper holder position shown in your machine's parts diagram so you are not ordering the wrong piece from the same area of the nozzle.
