Genuine Riccar/Simplicity B220-4314 Direct Air Motor Fan (5-Blade) for Riccar R10, R17, Simplicity S10 & Maytag M500 Upright Vacuums

Genuine Riccar/Simplicity B220-4314 Direct Air Motor Fan (5-Blade)

The Genuine Riccar/Simplicity B220-4314 Direct Air Motor Fan is a factory OEM replacement fan designed for select Riccar, Simplicity, Maytag, CleanMax, and Tornado ultra-light upright vacuum cleaners. This precision-balanced 5-blade fan mounts directly to the motor shaft and creates the airflow and suction needed for proper vacuum performance.

Because this is a direct air motor, the fan is exposed to incoming debris. If hard objects such as screws, nails, coins, or other heavy debris are vacuumed, the fan blades can crack, chip, or break, resulting in poor performance and excessive motor noise. Replacing the damaged fan restores proper airflow and suction. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
