Latch Spring A224-0600

Compatible with 9 models from 5 Tacony brands (Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity, CleanMax and Powr-Flite), the Latch Spring (part# A224-0600) is a genuine Tacony OEM component. Made by Tacony, the A224-0600 is used across Tornado Roam 97300 and Roam 97300C; Riccar R10CV, R21 and R21 Plus; Simplicity S10CV and SC10CV; CleanMax Zoom ZM-800; Powr-Flite RIGEL.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, the latch spring supplies the tension that snaps the latch button back after you press it and keeps the catch loaded so a latched component — such as the battery — stays locked. Its steady force is what makes the latch feel positive and hold securely.

Replace the latch spring if it is weak, stretched, broken, or corroded, or if the latch no longer springs back or holds its component firmly. A tired spring is a common reason a latch feels dead or lets a part rattle loose. It is an inexpensive part that restores crisp latch action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the latch spring do?

The latch spring (part# A224-0600) provides the return tension that snaps the latch button back and keeps the latch engaged, so the cover it secures stays positively closed. Without its spring force the latch will not hold.

What are the signs of a broken latch spring?

If the latch feels dead, will not spring back, or the cover pops open on its own, the small spring has likely fatigued or broken. Replacing the A224-0600 restores the crisp click and secure hold.

Is the latch spring sold separately from the button and case?

Yes — the spring, the latch button (B223-4197), and the latch case (B223-4014) are separate parts, so you can replace just the fatigued spring rather than the whole latch. Keeping the trio in mind helps you order only what is worn.

Which machines use the latch spring (part# A224-0600)?

It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C; the Compatible Models list above shows the machines that share this spring.
