If a mechanism isn't sitting where it should, or isn't returning where it should, or isn't holding pressure where it should — a spring is probably the reason. They're the invisible force keeping half the machine's assemblies in their intended position, and when they lose their strength, everything they were tensioning goes soft.
This is the genuine Nilfisk Advance OEM HOLDER SPRING SS, part number 8-14072, brand new in the box. Factory-spec tension is what the whole mechanism was designed around; a spring that's slightly off changes how the assembly feels and performs.
