Tornado Tempest Side Broom Spring K53321890

The Tornado Tempest side broom spring (part# K53321890) returns the side broom push button (part# K50321890) and holds the engagement mechanism where the operator left it. Tacony lists it as Spring, Side Broom. The Tempest catalogues seven springs under that single word and they are not interchangeable — this is the one specified for the side broom control.

The Tempest’s side broom assembly is the part of the machine that reaches where the main brushroll cannot — into wall angles, along skirting and under fixtures. Its control has to hold a definite state: engaged or not, decided once and kept until the operator changes it. That is what this spring provides. Without it the mechanism has no preferred position, so vibration decides, and the side broom starts engaging and disengaging on its own as the machine crosses thresholds.

Compatible Models for the Side Broom Spring

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

Symptoms that point to the side broom spring

• The push button does not return under its own power.
• The side broom engages or disengages on its own over bumps.
• The control feels vague with no definite click between positions.
• The spring is visibly stretched, kinked or broken.
• A new push button was fitted and the control still will not hold.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Note how the spring is hooked at both ends before removing it — fitted reversed it will hold the mechanism in the wrong state. It assembles with the push button (part# K50321890), the M5 x 35 bolts (part# K53160250) and spring clips. After fitting, cycle the control several times and confirm it holds each position and returns cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the side broom spring do on the Tornado Tempest?

It returns the side broom push button and holds the engagement mechanism in whichever state the operator selected, so vibration cannot switch the side broom on or off by itself.

How do I know if my side broom spring needs replacing?

If the push button does not return on its own, the side broom engages or disengages over bumps, or the control feels vague. If a new push button did not fix it, the spring is the cause.
