Rectifier 30A X1193
$14.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 35 amp rectifier (part# X1193) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. Converts the incoming AC supply into the DC the brush motor runs on.
The Rectifier 30A (part# X1193) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the rectifier that converts alternating current from the supply into direct current for the DC brush motor. It is rated at 30 amps / 100 volts.
What the Rectifier 30A does
The machine plugs into an AC outlet but the brush motor is a DC motor, and the rectifier is what bridges those two facts. Its current rating has to cover the motor at full load with margin, because a rectifier run close to its limit gets hot, and heat is what kills semiconductors. That is also why it is usually mounted where it can shed that heat rather than wherever there was room.
When to replace the Rectifier 30A (X1193)
Replace it when the brush motor will not run although the supply and switch are good, when the motor runs weakly or erratically, or when the rectifier body shows heat damage or a burnt smell. Confirm the supply reaching it and rule out a stalled or dragging brush first, since an overloaded motor can take the rectifier with it.
Rectifier A X1193 — fitment and installation notes
Work with the machine unplugged and photograph the terminal connections before removing any lead, since AC input and DC output terminals are not interchangeable. Refit any heat sink hardware and mounting exactly as found, because a rectifier that cannot shed heat will fail again quickly. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
It also fits the Tornado 98168 20″ Marathon 1200 carpet extractor (12 Gallon 115V), all series (B, C, D, E, F and P).
