Quick Summary

The Riccar RF2-3 secondary filter is designed for filtration support in compatible Riccar 2000 Series upright vacuum cleaners. Identified in dealer filter references as a 3M Filtrete filter, it helps capture fine dust and particles as air moves through the vacuum's filtration system.

Replacing a worn or clogged secondary filter helps support proper airflow and dependable vacuum operation. Check your vacuum's exact model number before ordering, especially if you own an older machine.

Shop with Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums for replacement-filter guidance and help confirming compatibility.

Compatible Models

  • Riccar 2000 Series upright vacuum cleaners, subject to exact model verification.

  • Some third-party listings also reference selected Riccar 4000 Series models; confirm fitment before ordering.

Important: Compatibility can vary by model and filter configuration. Check your vacuum's model label and compare it with the original filter before purchasing.

Key Features

  • Riccar Replacement Part Reference: RF2-3.

  • Filter Type: Secondary filter.

  • Filter Media Reference: 3M Filtrete.

  • Filtration Support: Helps capture fine dust and particles within the vacuum's filtration pathway.

  • Airflow Maintenance: Routine filter replacement helps prevent excessive restriction from accumulated dust.

Why Genuine OEM Parts Matter

Choosing the correct replacement filter helps maintain the intended fit and filtration pathway of your Riccar vacuum cleaner. A filter that fits improperly or becomes heavily clogged may restrict airflow and affect cleaning performance.

When sourcing an RF2-3 replacement, verify the part number, filter dimensions, and compatibility with your specific vacuum. Because older filter references and replacement availability may vary, do not assume that a similar-looking filter is interchangeable.

Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums can help you identify the appropriate filter for your machine.

Replacement Guidance

Consider inspecting your secondary filter if you notice reduced airflow, visible dust buildup, or a change in cleaning performance.

  1. Switch off and unplug the vacuum before inspecting the filter.

  2. Locate the secondary filter according to your vacuum's owner manual.

  3. Check the filter for dust accumulation, damage, or deterioration.

  4. Replace it with a compatible filter if required.

  5. Reassemble the vacuum correctly before operating it.

Follow the maintenance instructions for your specific model. Do not wash or reuse the filter unless the manufacturer identifies it as washable.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Riccar RF2-3 secondary filter used for?

The RF2-3 is a secondary filter reference associated with compatible Riccar upright vacuum cleaners. It supports the vacuum's filtration system by helping capture dust and particles as air moves through the machine.

2. Which Riccar vacuum models use the RF2-3 filter?

Dealer filter references identify the RF2-3 with the Riccar 2000 Series. Some retailer listings also mention selected 4000 Series models. Confirm your exact model number before ordering.

3. Is the RF2-3 a HEPA filter?

The RF2-3 is identified in dealer references as a 3M Filtrete secondary filter, not as a HEPA filter set. Do not treat it as a HEPA replacement unless your specific product documentation confirms that classification.

4. How do I know when my secondary filter needs replacement?

Inspect the filter for heavy dust buildup, damage, or deterioration. Reduced airflow can also indicate that your vacuum needs maintenance. Follow the replacement guidance in your model's owner manual.

5. Can I wash the Riccar RF2-3 filter?

Do not assume the filter is washable. Check the manufacturer's instructions for your exact vacuum and filter. Replace the filter if required rather than washing a filter that is intended for replacement.

6. Will the RF2-3 fit every Riccar 2000 Series vacuum?

Not necessarily. Fitment can vary with model and configuration. Check your model label and original filter part number before purchasing.

7. Can a clogged secondary filter affect vacuum performance?

Yes. A clogged filter can restrict airflow and may affect cleaning performance. Inspecting and maintaining the filtration system helps support normal operation.

8. Is the Riccar RF2-3 still available as an original replacement part?

Availability and packaging may vary. Confirm current stock and whether the offered product is original Riccar stock or an alternative replacement before placing an order.

9. Why should I buy Riccar filters from an authorized dealer?

Buying from Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums gives you access to product guidance and assistance checking the correct filter for your vacuum. Always confirm the part number and compatibility before ordering.

10. How can Ace Vacuums help me find the correct filter?

Contact Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums with your vacuum's model number and, if possible, a photo of the existing filter or model label. This helps the team verify whether RF2-3 is the appropriate replacement.

Shipping, Return & Refund Policy

Shipping Policy

In-stock merchandise generally ships from our Leesburg, Virginia location within 3–5 business days. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Weekends and holidays can affect timing. Special-order, backordered or unavailable items may take longer; contact us to confirm timing before purchase when a deadline matters.

Shipping options and charges are shown at checkout. After dispatch, follow the carrier's tracking updates. Weather, carrier delays, order verification and inventory confirmation may affect delivery. Inspect packages promptly and retain packaging if there is damage or an incorrect or missing item.

Returns and refunds

Eligible unused items have a 30-calendar-day return request window for refunds or exchanges, measured from delivery or in-store purchase. Return authorization is required. Final-sale exclusions, the 15% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns and shipping responsibilities are explained in our Return and Refund Policy. That policy is the governing source for return eligibility and fees.

For shipping or return help, email sales@acevacuums.com or call 703-997-9292.


30-Day Returns, Refunds and Exchanges

Updated September 27, 2026. Request a return for an eligible unused item within 30 calendar days of delivery (or purchase for items collected in store). Eligible returns may be refunded to the original payment method or exchanged, subject to availability. The same 30-day request window applies to both refunds and exchanges; there is no separate seven-day or 15-day refund deadline.

Eligibility and authorization

Items must be unused, clean, complete and in their original packaging with all accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. Contact sales@acevacuums.com or 703-997-9292 before sending anything back. Include your order number, item and reason for return. We will confirm eligibility, charges and return instructions. Unapproved or cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted.

Fees and shipping

For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.

Final-sale and excluded items

Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.

Damaged, defective, incorrect or missing items; recalls

Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.

Refund timing and exchanges

After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.

Applicable rights and earlier purchases

This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
