Tornado Tempest Brushroll Spring K73180840

The Tornado Tempest brushroll spring (part# K73180840) is one of two springs on the brushroll assembly of the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. Tacony catalogues it simply as Spring and publishes no dimensions for it, so we identify it by the assembly it belongs to; its partner on the same sheet, part# K73180070, does have a published size of 4 x 4 x 16.

The Tempest uses seven springs across its assemblies, all catalogued under that one word, and none of them are interchangeable. Rate and free length are what make a spring right for its job, and neither is visible by eye with any reliability — two springs that look identical in the hand can behave quite differently once fitted. Ordering by part number is the only dependable approach.

Compatible Models for the Brushroll Spring

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

When to replace it

• The spring is visibly collapsed, kinked or broken.
• It no longer returns its mechanism briskly.
• Coils have taken a permanent set.
• Corrosion has pitted the wire.
• The brushroll assembly has been dismantled — springs are inexpensive and worth renewing.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Note how the spring is located and which way round it sits before removing it. Do not substitute part# K73180070, the other brushroll spring — it has a different size and rate. After fitting, check the mechanism returns under its own power through its full travel.

On pricing: Tacony does not currently list part# K73180840 in the dealer catalogue, so we do not publish a price for it rather than estimate one.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.
