How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and flip it over.
Step-by-step:
- Inspect side brush: Check if the brush is loose or its hub is cracked. Replace if damaged.
- Clear debris: Remove the brush and clean hair from the shaft area.
- Test motor: With the brush removed, briefly run the robot and observe if the motor shaft turns. Turn OFF immediately after checking.
- Replace motor if needed: If the shaft does not turn, the side brush motor likely needs replacement.
Side brush motor replacement requires opening the bottom cover and disconnecting the motor harness from the main board.
