Tornado Tempest Ferrite Sleeve K65743260

The Tornado Tempest ferrite sleeve (part# K65743260) is the suppression sleeve fitted over the side broom motor loom on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper.

A ferrite sleeve is a small ring of magnetic ceramic clamped around a cable. It does nothing to the power the motor draws, but it absorbs the high-frequency electrical noise a brushed motor generates and stops that noise travelling back down the loom into the machine’s control boards. On a cordless machine with two microprocessor-controlled boards sharing a loom with a motor, that suppression is not optional garnish — it is what keeps the electronics reading their own signals rather than the motor’s interference.

Compatible Models for the Ferrite Sleeve

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

When to replace it

• The sleeve is cracked or has broken in half — ferrite is ceramic and brittle.
• It has come adrift and is sliding on the loom.
• It is missing after a previous repair.
• The machine has developed unexplained intermittent electronic behaviour.
• The loom it sits on is being replaced.

The fourth point is worth knowing. A missing or broken ferrite does not cause an obvious fault — it causes occasional odd behaviour that is very hard to trace, because the machine tests perfectly the moment the motor is not running.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Position the sleeve where the original sat — its distance from the motor is part of how it works, so it is not a component to relocate for convenience. Secure the loom with the cable ties (part# K66414640 and K66506050) in their original positions so the sleeve cannot migrate. Handle it carefully; ferrite cracks if dropped.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the ferrite sleeve do on the Tornado Tempest?

It absorbs the high-frequency electrical noise the side broom motor generates and stops it travelling back down the loom into the machine’s control boards.

How do I know if it needs replacing?

If it is cracked or broken — ferrite is brittle ceramic — has come adrift on the loom, or is missing after a repair. Unexplained intermittent electronic behaviour is the other clue.

What models is the ferrite sleeve (part# K65743260) compatible with?

The Tornado Tempest TV400-W26-U wide-area cordless carpet sweeper. PartSmart lists it against the Tempest alone.

Does it matter where on the cable it sits?

Yes. Its distance from the motor is part of how it works, so fit it where the original sat and secure the loom with the cable ties so it cannot migrate along the cable.
