The Motor Gasket (part# 30090) is the gasket that seals the suction motor to its housing on these 30-inch wide-area vacuums, keeping the airway airtight where the motor mounts. Fits Tornado 93030, Tornado 93031, CleanMax CM-WAV and Powr-Flite PF2030.

These machines are built on the same wide-area platform under different brands and share the great majority of their parts.

What the Motor Gasket does

The motor gasket sits between the suction motor and the housing so all the air the motor pulls comes through the filtration path rather than leaking in around the motor. It also cushions the motor against vibration. A sound motor gasket is essential to suction — an unsealed motor mount lets outside air short-circuit the airflow and robs the machine of pickup.

Signs the Motor Gasket needs replacing

Replace the motor gasket whenever the motor is removed, and any time it is compressed flat, hardened, cracked, or torn. A common symptom of a failed motor gasket is suction that stays weak after the bag and filters are renewed, because air is leaking in at the motor mount. Always fit a fresh gasket when installing a new motor.

Installation and fit

Clean the sealing surfaces, seat the new 30090 gasket squarely between the motor and housing so it is not pinched, and secure the motor so the gasket compresses evenly. Confirm there are no gaps before running the machine. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Tacony equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Motor Gasket do on the CleanMax CM-WAV?

It seals the suction motor to its housing so all airflow comes through the filtration path instead of leaking in around the motor, and it cushions motor vibration.

When should I replace the CM-WAV motor gasket?

Replace it whenever the motor is removed, and any time it is compressed, hardened, cracked or torn. Weak suction after renewing the bag and filters often means a leaking motor gasket.
