Sandia 10-0811-COM 2-Stage Extractor Vacuum Motor with Gasket
Weak recovery is the fastest way to ruin an extraction job - carpet left wet, streaks on drying, and callbacks. The Sandia 10-0811-COM is the genuine 2-stage replacement vacuum motor, supplied complete with gasket, for Sandia Sniper 6-gallon and 12-gallon extractors. Swapping a tired vac motor restores factory water lift so the machine pulls solution and soil back out of the carpet the way it did when new.
Use Cases
- Carpet cleaning contractors reviving a Sniper extractor whose recovery has faded after years of daily jobs.
- Auto detailers whose 6-gallon extractor leaves interiors wetter than it used to - a classic sign of a worn vacuum motor.
- Restoration and janitorial companies that service their own extractor fleets and keep a spare motor on the shelf.
- Repair techs replacing motors with scored bearings or worn brushes before they fail mid-season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my extractor vacuum motor is worn out?
Falling recovery with clean hoses, filters, and a tight recovery tank lid points to the motor. Audible bearing whine, sparking at the brushes, or a burning smell are later-stage signs - replace before total failure.
Does the gasket matter?
Yes. The gasket seals the motor to the recovery tank deck. A hardened or torn gasket leaks vacuum and cuts water lift even with a healthy motor, which is why this part ships with a new one.
Which machines use this motor?
Sandia Sniper 6-gallon and 12-gallon extractors built with the 5.7-inch 2-stage bypass motor. Machines with the 6.6-inch motor use Sandia part 10-0811-66-COM instead.
Is this a hard swap?
It is a common in-house repair: unplug the machine, open the motor compartment, transfer the wiring, and seat the new motor on the fresh gasket. Take photos of connections before removal.
