Instructions

How to complete this repair

Useful tools
  • Bright flashlight
  • Soft dry brush
  • Clean lint-free cloth
Before you begin
  • Switch the robot off, unplug the self-cleaning dock, and keep liquid away from electrical contacts before removing owner-maintenance parts.
  • Use only owner-access points and maintenance actions documented for the exact machine code.
  • Do not wash the cyclone, powered body, robot, dock, or bin assembly unless the exact owner guide explicitly marks the removed part washable.
  • Keep the dry-debris path separate from clean-water and dirty-water tanks, and keep all electrical contacts dry.
  1. Confirm the Spot+Scrub AI configuration

    Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) is a DR30 / RB05 vacuum-and-wash robot with camera and LiDAR navigation, a wet roller, liquid tanks, and a self-cleaning dock. Match the machine code and serial label before ordering a filter, debris container, brush, wet roller, tank, dock consumable, or external seal; a retail family name can cover incompatible hardware.

  2. Empty before the maximum-fill mark

    Remove and empty the robot debris container and dock debris collection path using the documented release. Keep the opening downward and avoid forcing the ejector, lid, or latch.

  3. Clear the inlet and closing surfaces

    Use a soft dry brush or cloth to remove compacted dust from the inlet, outlet screen, shroud area that the guide exposes, lid edge, latch, and sealing surfaces. Do not insert tools into the cyclone or motor inlet.

  4. Inspect the complete container

    Look for cracks, a warped lid, a missing or rolled seal, a loose hinge, or a latch that will not hold. Replace the complete owner-removable container or documented seal rather than gluing a structural or sealing surface.

  5. Refit and confirm a flush seal

    Install the empty, dry container in the documented orientation. Confirm the lid and container click fully into place, then make one short test. Stop if dust escapes, the bin loosens, or airflow remains weak.
