How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Power OFF the robot before inspection.
- Remove main brush: Take out the brush and inspect the end caps and bearings. Clean out hair and dust.
- Spin brush by hand: It should rotate smoothly without grinding. If rough, replace the brush.
- Check brush motor noise: Run the robot briefly with the brush removed. If grinding persists, the brush motor gearbox is likely worn.
- Tighten brush guard: Ensure the brush guard is not loose or vibrating.
- Replace motor assembly if needed: Persistent grinding from the motor area requires replacing the brush motor assembly.
