Voltage is the first thing to get right on a spotter motor and the easiest thing to get wrong. A Sandia 3-gallon spot extractor built for 115V and one built for 240V look identical from the outside and take a physically similar motor, but they are not interchangeable parts. The Sandia 10-0354-A is the 240-volt version of the 3-gallon spotter vacuum motor, and it is the part you need if the machine on your bench is a 240V unit.
The 3-gallon spotter platform is built around a two-stage vacuum motor - Sandia rates the 115V machine at 804 watts and roughly 100 CFM with 76 inches of lift - working alongside a 55 PSI solution pump in a roto-molded polyethylene body. The motor is what does the recovery half of that job, so when it goes, the machine stops being an extractor and becomes a sprayer. Fitting the correct-voltage replacement is what restores the original performance rather than approximating it.
Built for
- 240V Sandia 3-gallon spotters - the correct-voltage service motor for those machines
- Export and non-115V installations - sites where the whole equipment fleet runs on 240V
- Carpet cleaning and restoration contractors - rebuilding a sound machine beats replacing it
- Service centres and in-house shops - a stocked motor is a same-day repair
- Facilities with a spotter on every floor - planned motor replacement keeps units in rotation
Use cases
Confirm the machine's voltage from the data plate before ordering - not from the outlet it happens to be plugged into, and not from the machine next to it. If the plate says 240V, this is the motor. If it says 115V, the 3-gallon machine takes the standard motor instead, which Sandia catalogues as 10-0354 and, supplied with its gasket, as 10-0354-COM. Renew the motor gasket with any motor change; Sandia lists a spotter motor gasket covering the 2 and 3 gallon machines, and a reused, compressed gasket will leak around a brand new motor.

Frequently asked questions
How do I confirm my machine is 240V?
Read the data plate on the machine itself. Do not go by the outlet or by an identical-looking unit alongside it - the 115V and 240V builds of the 3-gallon spotter look the same from outside.
What is the difference between 10-0354-A and 10-0354-A-COM?
The -COM version is the same 240V motor supplied complete with its gasket. If you do not already have a fresh gasket on the shelf, the complete version saves a second order.
What motor does a 115V 3-gallon spotter take?
Sandia catalogues 10-0354 for the standard 3-gallon spotter motor, and 10-0354-COM for the same motor with gasket. Those are not interchangeable with the 240V part.
Do I have to replace the gasket too?
Yes. A compressed gasket will not seal a new motor. Sandia lists a spotter motor gasket covering both the 2 and 3 gallon machines.
What are the signs the motor has failed rather than something else?
A motor that runs but recovers nothing, a burning smell, or a breaker trip on start. Rule out a stuck float, a blocked filter screen and a bad recovery lid gasket first, since all three lose suction for far less money.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer. Every Sandia part we list is genuine factory stock, and our US-based team can confirm fitment against your machine's model and serial number before you order, so a service part arrives ready to install instead of sitting on the shelf as the wrong number.
