Dyson Spot+Scrub AI repair
Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Pump or Liquid System
Pump and liquid-system repair on the Spot+Scrub AI follows the tank outlet, valve, delivery path, collection path, and sealed-pump boundary within the DR30 / RB05 onboard water reservoirs, wet roller, recovery path, valves, and robot-side liquid system; dock-contained refill, clean, drain, and dry functions use the separate dock-repair path. This procedure is scoped to the Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) and its Spot+Scrub wet-and-dry robot platform.

Order only a genuine replacement listed for Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) after the failed assembly is confirmed; family-name resemblance does not establish compatibility.
Instructions
How to complete this repair
- Bright flashlight
- Clean lint-free cloth
- Soft brush reserved for wet-head maintenance
- Container for captured water
- 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.
- Keep water away from the main vacuum body, battery, charger, robot electrical contacts, dock power connection, and powered dry cleaner heads.
- Do not use a wet head without every tank, tray, roller, cap, and seal installed in the documented orientation.
- Do not open a pump, valve block, liquid sensor, wet-head motor, robot body, or dock plumbing enclosure.
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.
Separate the wet system from dry components
Switch the robot off, unplug the dock, remove only the documented robot-side liquid containers and wet-maintenance parts, and protect every electrical contact from drips. Dock-contained functions are diagnosed on the separate dock-repair page.
Empty and inspect each liquid container
Empty the documented clean- and dirty-water components after use. Check caps, valves, visible seals, latches, and tank walls for debris, a rolled seal, crack, blockage, or incomplete closure. Use only the water, solution, tank, and fill level specified by the DR30 / RB05 owner guide; do not use a cordless Submarine-head formula or procedure.
Inspect the tank outlet and accessible liquid path
Follow the exact owner method to inspect the clean-water outlet, cap, valve, visible seals, head inlet, collection edge, and accessible channels. Do not push tools into tubing or open a pump, valve block, or liquid sensor.
Inspect the platform-specific liquid path
Check the robot-side reservoirs, valves, wet-roller chamber, recovery edge, and owner-accessible onboard channels. Do not assign a failure in the dock's refill, cleaning, draining, or drying system to this onboard liquid repair; a repeated robot-side pump or flow error requires Dyson service.
Make one controlled liquid-delivery test
Refit every component, add only the documented amount of clean water or approved solution, and test briefly on a suitable hard floor while watching the exact dispense and recovery points. Stop for a leak, pump error, abnormal noise, or failure to move liquid.
An internal leak, pump fault, valve fault, sensor error, or powered-roller fault requires professional service or a confirmed complete external assembly. A dock-contained failure uses robot-dock repair.
