Hi all,
I have my Kirby 512 in for servicing, and my vac shop is having trouble finding a new fan for it. (The previous owners busted it.) They are not sure where one would be available. I have a hard time believing that there's NO new fan made for a 512 out there. Any thoughts to where one could be found? Thank You! -Mitchell | ||

Kirby 512 fan... Mitchell, Here is a link to Vac Parts Warehouse on their Kirby 512 page. Click on item 32 which is for the 512 fan.
Hope this helps you out.

119078A Fan Asy 505/515 Kit
this kit will have the white Amodel fan, a longer spacer (which takes the place of the back of the metal fan going into the front of the bearing plate) a metal washer for the front of the fan and a new belt spindle. Any Kirby shop (distributor or service shop) can order this from Kirby. I just ordered another one for one of my Kirbys. It usually takes about 2 days from the time you order it till the shop has it. Make sure you order this number with an A at the end, if you order it with and S at the end you will get the 516 thru Legend II kit which has a shorter spacer and won't work with your model. If you try to find a metal fan it will most likely be a used one as they haven't made them in years, unless you're lucky enough to run across NOS in a dealers back room. | ||

I am fed up with this thing!
I just got the part today, and it's wrong. They sent me the newer fan, the 119078S, for 516 and up. I needed the 119078A and the form that came in the package had the CORRECT fan #. I'm not going to return it. It's too much of a hassle to ship back. It will be a waste of $$$$ for me to pay to ship it back and not be reimbursed for shipping. I'm going to keep it just in case I'll ever need it for my Sanitronic VII or Heritage II. In that respect, it wasn't a total mistake. I'm going to go out to a Kirby specialist in my area (NOT the mean one) and I'll try to get a fan there. Not a big deal, I know something will turn up eventually.
