Know before you buy
A damaged or broken fan often causes unusually loud, vibrating, or rattling noises while the vacuum is running. If you notice a significant drop in suction power or hear grinding sounds coming from the motor area, the fan may be cracked or obstructed.
No, this specific fan is designed for select lightweight hardshell bag models, including the Riccar R10 series, Simplicity S10 series, CleanMax ZM series, and the Maytag M500. Always verify your specific vacuum model number against the compatibility list before purchasing.
Installation requires moderate mechanical skill, as you will need to remove the vacuum lid and access the motor assembly. If you are not comfortable disassembling your vacuum, we recommend consulting a professional technician to ensure the fan is seated correctly.
The 5-blade DC M500 design is engineered specifically for direct air systems, where the fan handles both the airflow and the debris intake. This configuration is optimized to maintain consistent suction in ultra-lightweight vacuum models.
This part is manufactured specifically for the listed Riccar, Simplicity, CleanMax, and Maytag models. Using it in a vacuum not explicitly designed for this fan type may result in poor performance or damage to the motor.
