Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Control Board Repair
A control-board repair on the Spot+Scrub AI begins only after its exact power source, physical controls, connectors, sensors, and driven loads are separated from a confirmed electronic-controller fault. This procedure is scoped to the Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) and its Spot+Scrub wet-and-dry robot platform.

A replacement component may be available for Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05). Confirm the failed assembly and exact fit before ordering; parts availability does not make this professional repair safe for DIY work.
Instructions
Safe checks before professional service
- Bright flashlight
- Clean dry lint-free cloth
- 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 open a battery pack, mains adapter, sealed main body, robot, wet-cleaner control housing, motor controller, or PCB enclosure.
- Stop for liquid exposure, swelling, melting, electrical odor, sparks, smoke, repeated high-current errors, or a hot connector.
- Do not open the motor, battery pack, charger, switch, wiring, control board, pump, sensor module, or another sealed electrical assembly. Internal diagnosis belongs with a qualified repair technician.
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.
Preserve the exact electronic symptom
Record every Spot+Scrub AI screen, app, spoken, light-pattern, or operating error before resetting anything. Note which command fails and whether the problem follows charging, startup, navigation, docking, liquid flow, roller operation, or a specific powered assembly.
Rule out the external power and physical control
Confirm the correct self-cleaning dock, power supply, and dry charging contacts, internally serviced DR30 / RB05 battery pack, physical switch or button, and dry owner-accessible contacts are intact. A failed battery, charger, cord, dock, or actuator must not be mislabeled as a board fault.
Separate the controller from its inputs and loads
A technician should test the model-specific connectors, sensors, dry pickup brush system or wet roller, according to the active cleaning mode, motor or drive loads, and charging path before condemning the PCB. A shorted motor, wet connector, jammed drive, or failed sensor can create the same controller error and damage a replacement board.
Use the exact matched electronic assembly
If diagnosis confirms the controller, replace only the Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) board, display, controller, or complete body assembly specified for that hardware revision. Complete any required calibration or pairing, verify insulation and connector routing, then test each affected function under controlled conditions.
