Product details
Part B386-1700 is a direct-air fan for Riccar and Simplicity upright vacuums, the impeller that turns with the motor shaft to move the airflow that lifts dirt into the bag.
Once a blade chips, cracks or warps, pickup drops off fast and the fan can start knocking the whole assembly out of balance, sending a vibration straight into the motor bearings the longer it keeps running. A properly balanced replacement brings the airflow and the quiet running back together.
Check the old impeller for chipped or cracked blade tips before you reinstall it out of habit, since a fan that looks fine from one angle can still be damaged on the trailing edge that does most of the work.
Vacuums and More is an authorized Riccar and Simplicity dealer, and we can confirm the correct fan for your specific model before you order rather than guessing from a parts diagram.
