Tornado Tempest Brushroll Screw M6 x 35 K73061180

The Tornado Tempest brushroll screw M6 x 35 (part# K73061180) secures the brushroll end plates on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper, with three fitted. Tacony lists it as Screw, for Tempest Brush roll. It pairs with the M6 nut (part# K73114250).

These are the fasteners holding the brushroll’s alignment. Because the two end plates between them decide whether the roller runs parallel to the floor, a screw that has worked loose changes brush geometry rather than just rattling. The symptom is uneven cleaning across the path, which sends most people to the brush before the fasteners.

Compatible Models for the Brushroll Screw M6 x 35

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

When to replace them

• A thread is stripped, crossed or stretched.
• 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.

Renew the set of three rather than one. They have done identical work, the cost is small, and a single tired fastener among three is the hardest to find afterwards.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Fit all three finger-tight before tightening any fully, so the plate pulls up square rather than pivoting on one fastener. Tighten evenly against their nuts (part# K73114250). Afterwards, check brush contact along the full width on a level floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do these screws do on the Tornado Tempest?

Three of them secure the brushroll end plates, which between them set the roller’s alignment across the machine.

How do I know if they need replacing?

If a thread is stripped or stretched, a drive recess is rounded, one has worked loose, or one has corroded in place. Fit fresh screws whenever the brushroll assembly has been apart.

What models is this screw (part# K73061180) compatible with?

The Tornado Tempest TV400-W26-U wide-area cordless carpet sweeper. PartSmart lists it against the Tempest alone, and three are fitted per machine.

Why does a loose brushroll screw affect cleaning?

Because these screws hold the end plates that set brush alignment. One working loose lets the roller sit out of parallel with the floor, which shows as uneven cleaning across the path.
