Vacuum Motor 230V 39725

The Vacuum Motor (part# 39725) is the 230-volt motor for the Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite. It is the export counterpart of the 120V assembly, and the factory catalogues it against the CK-LW 13/1 pair — models 97130 and 97131 — with the 230V machine, model 97131, being the one it is actually fitted to.

Voltage is the one specification on a vacuum that permits no interpretation. A 120V motor on a 230V supply and a 230V motor on a 120V supply both end badly, in the first case immediately and in the second as a machine that never quite performs and a motor that never quite runs right. Read the rating plate on your machine, not the model number on the invoice, before ordering either one.

Price and availability

The manufacturer does not publish a price for this part number in the dealer catalogue, so it is listed as call-for-price rather than with a guessed figure. Call 763-535-0770 and we will quote it and confirm lead time — on an export-voltage motor that is worth doing before you commit, because availability varies.

Before you order a motor

Rule out the cheap causes first. A choked bag, a blinded foam filter or a blocked duct will all present as a machine that has lost power, and all three are a fraction of the cost of a motor. A motor that is genuinely finished will usually tell you: bearing noise that rises with speed, a hot-varnish smell, sparking at the brush windows, or carbon dust in the motor compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which machine does this motor fit?

The Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite. It is the 230V motor, so in practice it is the motor for model 97131; the 115V machine, model 97130, takes part number D113-3300.

Why is there no price?

The manufacturer does not publish a price for this part number in the dealer catalogue. We list it as call-for-price rather than guessing. Ring 763-535-0770 for a quote and current lead time.

Can I fit this to a 120V machine?

No. Voltage is not interchangeable. Read the rating plate on the machine rather than working from the model number, and fit the motor that matches it.
