Know before you buy
A damaged fan often produces an unusually loud, vibrating, or grinding noise while the vacuum is running. If you notice a significant drop in suction power or if the motor feels like it is overheating, the fan blades may be chipped or broken.
This 5-blade fan is designed for lightweight hardshell bag vacuums from Riccar, Simplicity, CleanMax, Maytag, and Tornado. Please verify your vacuum's model number against the manufacturer part number B220-4314 to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
The 5-blade configuration is engineered to maintain consistent, direct airflow through the vacuum system. This design is essential for cooling the motor and ensuring the vacuum maintains the suction strength required for effective cleaning.
Yes, this is a standard replacement part that can be installed by the user. However, because it involves accessing the motor housing, you should ensure the vacuum is unplugged and consult your owner's manual for specific disassembly instructions.
The most common cause of damage is vacuuming up hard objects like coins, screws, or small toys. These items can strike the plastic blades at high speeds, causing them to chip or snap, which leads to imbalance and loud noise.
