Tornado Tempest Brushroll Screw M6 x 16 K73043000

The Tornado Tempest brushroll screw M6 x 16 (part# K73043000) is used on the brushroll assembly of the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper, with two fitted. The Tempest carries two different parts catalogued as Screw M6 x 16; this is the one on the brushroll sheet, and the other (part# K73060900) belongs elsewhere on the machine.

Two screws sharing a nominal size and a part description but carrying different numbers is the situation that most often produces a wrong order. The difference between them is not something that can be judged by eye in the hand, so the sheet position is what identifies each — which is why we have named this listing for the assembly it belongs to rather than leaving both under the same words.

Compatible Models for the Brushroll Screw M6 x 16

• Tornado Tempest Wide-Area Cordless Carpet Vacuum Sweeper — Model TV400-W26-U

When to replace them

• A thread is stripped, crossed or galled.
• A drive recess is rounded out.
• A screw has worked loose in service.
• Corrosion has seized one in place.
• The brushroll assembly has been dismantled — fit fresh screws.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Fit both finger-tight before tightening either fully, so the component pulls up square. Tighten evenly. After fitting, check the brushroll turns freely by hand and that brush contact is even across the full width.

On pricing: Tacony does not currently list part# K73043000 in the dealer catalogue, so we do not publish a price for it rather than estimate one. Call 763-535-0770 and we will source it and quote you.
