Washer A430-0405

The A430-0405 washer is a genuine Tacony flat washer used as a load-spreading spacer at fastening points on CleanMax and Riccar commercial and household vacuums. On the CleanMax Zoom uprights it sits behind the upper cord-hook screw, spreading the clamping force of the screw head across the plastic and metal so the cord hook stays tight through years of the cord being wound and unwound against it. It is a small stamped part, but the fastener it backs will not hold reliably without it.

What the A430-0405 Washer Does

A flat washer does two jobs at once: it spreads the concentrated load under a screw or nut head across a wider area, and it gives that fastener a smooth, flat seat to tighten against. On the Zoom’s upper cord hook, the washer keeps the screw head from digging into or pulling through the mounting point as the operator repeatedly wraps the power cord, and it keeps the hook from working loose under that constant leverage. The same washer is used at comparable screw-and-hook and housing points across the CMP-3 series and Riccar Brilliance machines, which is why it is a common service item rather than a model-specific one.

Signs You Need a New A430-0405 Washer

Replace the washer whenever you have the fastener apart and the washer is bent, cupped, cracked, corroded, or worn thin, and any time one goes missing during a cord-hook or housing repair. A telltale sign is a cord hook or panel that will not stay tight no matter how firmly the screw is driven: without the washer spreading the load, the screw head chews into the surface and loses its grip. Reusing a deformed washer simply lets the same loosening happen again, so it is worth replacing a cheap washer while the assembly is already open.

Installation and Fit

Slip the A430-0405 over the screw before it goes back into its hole, seat it flat against the mounting surface, and drive the screw snug so the washer sits evenly without cupping. It costs almost nothing and is the difference between a cord hook that holds and one that works loose in a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the A430-0405 washer do?

It is a flat load-spreading washer that seats under a screw or nut, distributing the clamping force so the fastener stays tight and does not dig into the surface. On the CleanMax Zoom it backs the upper cord-hook screw.

How do I know if my A430-0405 washer needs replacing?

Replace it if it is bent, cupped, cracked, corroded, or missing, or if a cord hook or panel will not stay tight no matter how firmly you drive the screw. A deformed washer will not hold the load and should be swapped while the assembly is open.

What models is the A430-0405 washer compatible with?

It is used on the CleanMax CMP-3N, CMP-3T, and CMP-3QD, the CleanMax Zoom ZM-200, ZM-400, and ZM-600, and the Riccar Brilliance (BRLD, BRLP, BRLS) series. Call 763-535-0770 to confirm your model.
