Simplicity Brush Roll

This brush roll is designed for specific Riccar and Simplicity upright models, including the 1500, 1700, and 1800 series, as well as the S24 and S36 lines. You should verify your vacuum's specific model number against the part numbers D351-2000, C351-2000, 56520, or D351-2100 to ensure a perfect fit.

Metal brush rolls are significantly more durable and resistant to the heat and friction generated during heavy-duty carpet cleaning. They are less likely to warp or crack over time, providing a longer lifespan and more consistent agitation of carpet fibers.

The serpentine belt end is a specific design feature that ensures the brush roll securely grips the vacuum's drive belt. It is critical for maintaining proper tension and preventing the belt from slipping, which is essential for the vacuum's deep-cleaning performance.

Replacing a brush roll is a standard maintenance task that most users can handle with basic tools. You will typically need to remove the bottom plate of your vacuum, slide out the old roller, and seat the new one into the belt loop, but always consult your owner's manual for model-specific instructions.

You should inspect your brush roll periodically for worn bristles or damage to the metal body. If the bristles are flattened or the roller no longer spins freely, replacing it will immediately restore your vacuum's ability to lift embedded dirt and debris from your carpets.
