This is my Eufy Robovac 30C and it's just started making a loud grinding noise when you use it!
I've had this before where one of the gears had broken in the side brush motor.
I suspect this may be the same thing, but let's open it up and have a look!
Hope you enjoy!

I had the same issue pulled out the gear, called the company and they said they don't sell those to consumers only repair companies. I called a repair company and they wanted min $90 to fix plus the cost of shipping the vacuum to them...Ended up replacing it with a Roomba brand and have had zero issues. Love your videos!

@goku445 Год назад

Do you think Roombas are easy to repair? I'm on the market for a cleaner but can't decide what I should buy. Don't want to support companies with poor ethical records.

@Pneuma999 Год назад

@@goku445 I can not speak to the repairs. But the quality of the Roomba has been fantastic. There have been no issues in over a year.

Oh, the dust flying around everywhere throughout this video! 😱 We have that same vacuum (same brand, at least). We call her Hazel! Harry and Hazel! 7:36-7:53: Are you running a fog machine? Is your house on fire?! Is the sweat literally steaming off your body from the extreme physical exertion of this fix? 😆

o.O "But for the sake of replacing this one part.... I could have some spare parts"; if you replace the whole unit, you still have the spare parts; you just need to take the old one apart then, rather than both of them - take it apart, then bin the broken gear.

I usually use a shop vacuum and an electric air duster when I'm doing maintenance on my vacuums. Nice work!

Great vid mate, but this backing track made me feel like I was on hold to the Doctors.

@dayv207 Год назад

I used to race high end RC cars and the spur gears are designed to fail to save the motor and other more expensive parts from damage in case somthing gets jamed.

@boydsterling3193 Год назад

Same here, but imagine nobody sold replacement spur gears

@AnIdiotAboard_ Год назад

I have a theory on why this happens. Those little sweepers have a habit of catching under chair legs (for example) and dragging it to a stop, the constant tourqe of the motor flexes the shafts just enough to allow the teeth to seperate, and place increased the load up the gears, further increasing tourque untill the plastic goes all elastic and deforms

@ztechrepairs Год назад

May I suggest getting a 3D printer. Its amazing to have that skill and ability to quickly whip up plastic gears and such.

@broncosager3496 Год назад

Had to replace one of the gears on mine as well. Been quite a few years now and still working.

@eddietowers5595 Год назад

It looks like the sweeping brushes can eventually get caught under the drive instantaneously, each time, building up to an impending catastrophe until ultimately the gears over time get fully bent. I’d suggest metal gears but I’d be afraid the same problem would occur because of the placement/length of the sweeping brushes only causing the motor to burnout. If the sweeping brushes could either be moved out to about 2-5mm or cut away from the drive wheels, the gears may last a lot longer. Of course I’m just speculating as I’ve never worked on these types of robo vacuums. Though I did pick up a whole set of a Roomba Scuba from a thrift shop for $25 USD. I don’t think I’m going to use it as it was intended, I think I’ll make some modifications to it.

@stefanschneider3681 Год назад

First: YT suggested a video of yours a few weeks ago. I really like your style, competent, videos well done, and also with a nice dose of self-irony. Just out of curiosity: Would it be possible to harden these gears somehow? I don’t know how, maybe cover them with something or„bake“ them?

@TomasGregovich Год назад

Dave ❤

@tarstarkusz 2 месяца назад

You should try and find out if your grease is compatible with the gear. Those bent gears are not normal. Something has degraded the plastic. If you have used incompatible grease, it would explain it perfectly.

@thomasebelsheiser6422 Год назад

The repairability is one of the reasons why I prefer the products fron iRobot. Much easier to maintain and to repair because of the modularity. Sorry for that worse english. Carry on mate. Greetings from Germany.

@brake_4_cake Год назад

Ironically, the only sentence that's really wrong is "Sorry for that worse english". Die Ausdrücke "sorry for the worse English" und "sorry for the bad English" haben leichte Unterschiede in ihrer Bedeutung und Grammatik. "Sorry for the worse English": Dieser Ausdruck deutet darauf hin, dass das Englisch des Sprechers früher schlechter war als es jetzt ist. Es impliziert, dass er sich bemüht hat, seine Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern, und er entschuldigt sich für eventuelle Mängel in seiner aktuellen Englischkenntnis. Allerdings ist der Ausdruck selbst grammatisch nicht korrekt. Es wäre passender zu sagen: "sorry for the worse English" oder "sorry for my worse English". "sorry for the bad English": Dieser Ausdruck gibt zu, dass das Englisch des Sprechers von geringer Qualität ist oder den gewünschten Standards nicht entspricht. Es ist eine einfache Entschuldigung für etwaige Fehler oder Mängel in der Verwendung der englischen Sprache. Zusammenfassend liegt der Hauptunterschied in der beabsichtigten Bedeutung und Grammatik. Der erste Ausdruck deutet auf eine Verbesserung gegenüber einem früheren Zustand hin, während der zweite Ausdruck sich einfach für das schlechte Englisch entschuldigt.

@somersetretrogames Год назад

Just think. They could have made it direct drive. Or at least used brass gears. But they didn’t because they want them to fail so you have to buy another.

@AG-cg7lk 6 месяцев назад

Looks like a serious design flaw. Might be caused by not having enough backlash on the gears, so they mesh too aggressively? Might be worth seeing if you can back one of the gears off very slightly next time you have it apart.

@zx8401ztv Год назад

Perhaps the current to the motor isn't limited when it hits a solid object. Slamming plastic gears has to do some damage. Maybe a rubber belt drive would be kinder when the brushes are stopped by an object.

@fixins Год назад

Nice fix! I had one of the original Roombas and all it would do was immediately get jammed under my ottoman and beep until its battery went flat. Stupid robot vacuum...

@TeamJelen Год назад

Have a similar Eufy model, exact same experience as others on here, the company want you to buy a motor for £12, rather than selling cogs for 12p. On the video that Eufy provided, you didnt have to take the wheel motors out like Steve did - perhaps difference in models. I think Eufy have made a firmware update now to try to reduce this from happening, as now when my vacuum gets stuck, the brushes stop spinning until the machine is free. Stupid vacuum.

Thanks for the video. I'm no gearbox aficionado by any means, but isn't it bad for the other cogs if you change just one with a different wear pattern? Afaik one should change all cogs to make sure it doesn't wear down newer ones very quick?

Those gears can't help but fail eventually. They really should be metal, but, profits...

@AnIdiotAboard_ Год назад

Plastics, meh fuckit. Metal gearsets and trains though, oh fuck yes, you need to take care if replacing just one, and you better be damn sure you did all your measure ments spot on. 20 Ft Lbs is one thing, but 2500+ Ft Lbs, is on a whole diffrent level

@marcyd2007 Год назад

Is there no way you can use some silicone sealer, or some adhesive foam tape to make a better seal to stop all the crap getting into the interals? You shouldn't have to clean the inside of it like that, surely. Think about all the people that have one that haven't got your skills. You might even find you get better suction if it's sealed up properly.
