Vacuum Motor 1200W 39266

This is the 1200-watt vacuum motor used in the Tornado TV 2 SS dry canister and in the Simplicity Brio. Tacony builds both machines and catalogues the motor under one part number for both — its own dealer record names it against the 93282 and the Brio together, which is why this listing carries no single brand in its title.

What the Vacuum Motor 1200W Does

The motor is the machine. Everything else in the canister exists to get air to it cleanly and out again quietly: the bags and filters keep grit off its impeller, the motor chamber and its seal hold the airflow on the right side of the filtration, and the insulation keeps the noise down. When the motor is healthy a canister of this size pulls hard enough that the operator feels the nozzle grip the carpet.

Where It Sits on the Machine

It sits inside the motor chamber in the lower body of the canister, on the motor mount, under the motor cover assembly, shown on the TV 2 SS main assembly diagram.

When to Replace It

Replace the motor when the carbon brushes are worn out, when it has become loud, when it is running hot or cutting out, or when suction is clearly down with a new bag, a new filter and sound seals. Before condemning a motor, change the bag and the HEPA filter and check the motor chamber seal — a blocked filter or a leaking seal imitates a tired motor closely and both are a fraction of the cost.

Fitting Notes

Note how the insulation and the motor cover sit before you take them off; they go back the same way or the machine gets noticeably louder. Check the motor chamber seal while you are in there and replace it if it has hardened. This is a 120-volt motor — the 230-volt machines take part number 39275 instead, and the two are not interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tell a worn motor from a blocked filter?

Fit a fresh bag and a new HEPA filter first, then check the motor chamber seal. If suction comes back, the motor was never the problem. If airflow is still down with clean filtration and the motor is noisy or running hot, the motor is the likely cause. We are happy to talk it through on 763-535-0770 before you spend the money.

Is this the same motor as the 230-volt version?

No. This is the 120-volt 1200W motor, part number 39266. The 230-volt machines use part number 39275, which is a separate Tacony part number and is not interchangeable. Check the rating plate on your machine if you are unsure.
