Thanks, it was really helpful! Mine was dropped on the floor and the motor/wheel assembly was loose. Wheel assembly would pop out of place every time the robot would hit something. Turns out there was kind of a rubber pin with a big screw just under the pump keeping the assembly in place and it wasn’t in place anymore !
I love this unit, but with 3 of my family having long hair those wheels are always getting clogged! I try to remove most with tweezers and a lighter. But even when the hair is removed, robot forgets how to go forward. So you have to push him for a bit, then he remembers.
Has anyone tries removing/replacing the wheels on this one? Mine has some problem with the left wheel which seems to be jammed. Moving it around didn't solve the issue so I figure I have to open it...
YES! after removing the cover take out the screws in the wheels. They may be tangled with hair preventing them from turning. I have to cut out the hairs every couple months.
@@svenfrimont If i remember correctly i uses a pair of reverse tweezers and a lot of trying. It took me quite some tries but i got it. You can also use regular tweezers and pinch the pipe realpy hard around a centimeter away from the end. Then stretch it down to the spray nozzle pipe. Hope it helps
@@nejkocookie1153 Thank you for your quick answer :) I disassembled the robot even further and after a short sign of panic (will I ever be able to assemble it again... :D ) I made it!
Yes, you should just be able to unplug the connector for the wires that go to the motor or if the wires are soldered on just cut the red or black one that goes to it. I don’t have it with me anymore otherwise I would give better advise. You could just not put water in it too though. That wouldn’t damage anything.
I'd figure iFixit would give this a repairability score of 0. I had one that the motor seized up, and I was able to clean the hair out, which I don't think was actually the problem. The regular iRobot Roombas, even the really old ones, are very repairable.
