Outside North America, and on 230 volt commercial circuits inside it, extractors are built to a different electrical standard -- and so are their heaters. The Sandia 10-0910-2-1-220 is the 2000 watt, 220 volt heater specified for 100 psi Sandia extractors on 220-240 volt supply. It is the part that returns full hot-water performance to an export or 230 volt machine that has gone cold. Solution temperature is what lets a truck-mount-style hot-water rinse happen out of a portable, and when the heat quits the machine still cleans -- just not nearly as well. Replacing the heat components is a routine service job, far cheaper than replacing the extractor.
Built for
- Contractors running 220-240 volt Sandia extractors outside the United States.
- Facilities in North America with 208-240 volt commercial circuits available for cleaning equipment.
- Service providers supporting export-specification Sandia machines.
- Dealers stocking 220 volt heat components for international customers.
What it does
At 220 volts a 2000 watt element draws roughly nine amps -- the same current a 1000 watt element would pull at 110 volts. That is the whole point of the 220 volt design: you get double the heating power for the same amperage, so solution reaches working temperature faster and holds it through continuous cleaning without any larger a current draw. The element heats inline as solution travels toward the pump and wand.
Voltage warning: this is a 220 volt part. Connecting it to a 110-120 volt supply will leave it heating at roughly a quarter of rated power; connecting a 110 volt element to 220 volt supply will destroy it. Confirm your machine's supply voltage before ordering.
Before you replace the element
Inline extractor heaters carry a thermostat at the end of the heater body that can trip and cut power to the element. Technicians on carpet and car-wash trade forums report this as the first thing to check on a no-heat call -- reset the thermostat and the heat often comes straight back. If the machine still runs cold after a reset, and the element reads open on a meter, the element or tube assembly is the part to change.
Sandia builds several heater configurations across the Sniper, Optimizer, Spot-Xtract and Indy lines, and they are not interchangeable. Match the part number on this page to the parts list in your machine's manual, or check the number stamped on the part you are pulling out, before you order.

Sandia warranty
Sandia Products warrants vacuum motors for 2 years, 100 psi pumps for 2 years and all other pumps for 1 year, and parts, tools and accessories for 90 days. Coverage starts on the purchase date from an authorized distributor with proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage from improper or missing maintenance, misuse, tampering, substituted parts, pumps stored in freezing conditions, pumps run dry, powdered detergent, or systems not flushed regularly. Contact the manufacturer for an RMA before returning or replacing any part; unapproved work and non-Sandia parts void coverage.
Frequently asked questions
My extractor stopped heating. Is the element always the problem?
No. Check the thermostat on the inline heater first -- it can trip and cut power without the element failing. Reset it and test. Only replace the element or tube assembly if the machine still runs cold and the element tests open.
How do I know this is the right part for my machine?
Match this part number against the parts list in your Sandia manual or against the number stamped on the component you are removing. Sandia uses different heater assemblies across model lines and wattages, and they do not cross over.
Should a technician install this?
Heater work involves mains voltage and plumbed solution lines. Unplug the machine and let it cool before opening it, and if you are not comfortable working around live electrical connections, have a manufacturer-authorized service provider do the job -- unapproved repairs can affect warranty coverage.
Can I use this on a 110 volt machine?
No. On 110-120 volt supply a 220 volt element produces roughly a quarter of its rated heat, which is not enough to be useful. Order the 110 volt part number for a North American standard-voltage machine.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer and stocks Sandia service parts alongside the extractors they belong to. Orders ship from the United States and our support team can help you confirm the right part number against your machine before you buy.
