Instructions

How to complete this repair

Useful tools
  • Bright flashlight
  • Clean lint-free cloth
  • Cold running water only when the exact filter is marked washable
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.
  • Never reinstall a washable filter until it is completely dry for the full period specified in the exact owner guide.
  • Do not wash a filter, cyclone, dock filter, or electronic assembly unless the exact model guide explicitly says it is washable.
  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. Locate every filter for this platform

    Use the model source to locate robot and dock filter elements identified in the DR30 / RB05 guide. Do not assume the robot and its dock use the same maintenance method.

  3. Inspect before cleaning

    Check for heavy dust loading, tears, deformation, odor, moisture, a missing seal, or a filter that will not seat and lock. Replace a damaged or permanently restricted filter rather than forcing it into place.

  4. Wash only a documented washable filter

    If the exact guide marks the filter washable, remove loose dust, rinse it with cold water using the documented method, expel excess water without damaging the media, and leave it in a warm, ventilated place for the specified drying period. Do not use detergent, a dishwasher, microwave, dryer, or open flame.

  5. Refit and verify the seal

    Install only a completely dry filter in the correct orientation. Confirm its cover closes flush and the filter cannot bypass dust around its edge. Make a short test and stop if airflow, odor, heat, or a filter warning persists.
