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.
Remove the correct brush assembly
Follow the exact owner guide to detach the dry pickup brush system or wet roller, according to the active cleaning mode and access its removable brush bar. Switch the robot off before turning it over and keep its camera and sensor surfaces protected.
Clear the brush and accessible ends
Cut and lift away hair, thread, and fibers in small sections. Remove debris from accessible end-cap and inlet areas without prying off a sealed bearing or gear cover. Check for melted fibers, cracks, distortion, or an end that remains seized.
Check the platform-specific connection
Confirm the dry pickup brush system or wet roller, according to the active cleaning mode is seated in the correct orientation, its end cap is locked, and the surrounding airway is clear. Do not add a belt step: the catalog does not list a user belt repair for this machine.
Make one controlled brush test
Reassemble the machine completely and test the dry pickup brush system or wet roller, according to the active cleaning mode briefly on a clear, suitable surface. Stop if it stalls again, pulses, smells hot, shows an error, or makes a grinding noise.
A brush that remains stationary after debris and external connections are checked needs professional cleaner-head, drive, or control diagnosis.
