Steel Agitator Assembly White Brushes D012-2300

Compatible with 11 models from 4 Tacony brands (Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax), the Steel Agitator Assembly White Brushes (part# D012-2300) is a genuine Tacony OEM component. It is the steel-cored agitator that spins inside the power nozzle, its white bristle strips beating and lifting embedded dirt, pet hair, and grit out of carpet so the suction can carry it away. As a genuine Tacony component, the D012-2300 is shared across Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax models — see the full Compatible Models list below.

The steel core is what sets this agitator apart from a plastic roll — it stays straight across the full width of the nozzle instead of bowing over time, so the brushes keep even contact with the carpet and the roll runs true without wobble. The complete assembly includes the core, the white bristle strips, and the end bearings, so a single part restores full agitation rather than patching worn brushes.

Replace the D012-2300 when the bristles are worn down flush with the core and no longer groom the carpet, when the roll wobbles or is visibly bent, or when the end bearings squeal, drag, or seize — a bound roll can smell like burning belt and stops spinning under load. Thread and hair wrapped tightly at the end caps is another sign the bearings are being strangled. Installation is a moderate job: slip the belt off, lift the old roll from the nozzle, seat the new one, and refit the belt.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the D012-2300 steel agitator needs replacing?

Replace it when the white bristles are worn flush with the steel core and stop grooming the carpet, when the roll wobbles or looks bent, or when the end bearings squeal, drag, or seize. A seized roll can smell like a burning belt and quits spinning under load.

Why is the D012-2300 a steel agitator instead of plastic?

The steel core resists bowing across the wide cordless-ultralite nozzle, so the brushes keep even carpet contact and the roll runs true for longer than a plastic agitator. It ships as a complete assembly — core, white bristle strips, and end bearings.

Which vacuums use the D012-2300 steel agitator?

It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C, Riccar R10CV.6/.8/.10 and PRIMAP.TAD, Simplicity S10CV.4/.6/.8 and WONDERP.TAD, and the CleanMax Zoom ZM-800 and ZM-800.2 — all cordless ultralite uprights built on the same platform.
