Latch Button B223-4197

Used across Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax machines, the Latch Button (part# B223-4197) is a genuine Tacony OEM part. The B223-4197 is a shared Tacony part fitted to Tornado Roam 97300 and Roam 97300C; Riccar R10CV; Simplicity S10CV and SC10CV; CleanMax Zoom ZM-800.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, the latch button is the part you press to release a latched component — commonly the battery pack — so it can be swapped or serviced. A crisp, responsive button with good spring action makes changing the battery quick and keeps it locked securely the rest of the time.

Replace the latch button if it is cracked, sticking, or no longer springing back, or if the latch will not release or hold. A worn button makes the component hard to remove or, worse, unable to lock in place. Renewing it restores reliable, one-press latch operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the latch button’s function?

The latch button (part# B223-4197) is the part you press to release the latch, transferring your push to the latch mechanism so the cover or door can open. It is the user-facing control of the latch assembly.

How do I know the latch button needs replacing?

If the button is cracked, sticks, or no longer moves the latch when pressed, the button itself is worn even if the spring is fine. A fresh B223-4197 restores smooth, reliable release.

Do I need to replace the whole latch if only the button is broken?

No — the button is available separately from the latch case and spring, so a snapped button is a quick, low-cost swap on its own. Check the spring’s tension while you are in there.

What models take the latch button (part# B223-4197)?

It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C — see the Compatible Models list above for the full set of compatible machines.
