Frequently asked questions
Does this fit my 6-gallon or 12-gallon Sniper?
Yes -- this motor is designed to fit both the 6-gallon and 12-gallon Sandia Sniper extractor models.
How do I tell if it's the motor versus a clogged hose or filter?
A motor problem typically shows up as a whining or grinding noise, or a burning smell, along with a genuine loss of suction. A clog usually causes reduced -- not absent -- suction with no unusual noise or smell. If suction feels strong at the hose but the machine barely picks anything up at the floor with no clog found, check for an airflow leak before assuming the motor has failed.
Does this come with the gasket, or is that separate?
Some listings for this motor family include a gasket variant; confirm which version you need before ordering so you don't have to place a second order.
Should I get the 2-stage or 3-stage version?
The 2-stage motor covers standard extraction needs. A 3-stage version (10-0810) is available for jobs that need additional lift.
How long does installation take?
This is a direct OEM-fit replacement motor, so installation is typically a straightforward swap without rewiring or reshimming.
This is an authorized Sandia replacement part sold by Discount Cleaning Products, backed by US-based customer service for carpet cleaning professionals.
