Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Robot Dock Repair
Dock repair on the Spot+Scrub AI is limited to its exact base, power supply, cable, contacts, alignment surfaces, and dock-contained emptying, cleaning, refilling, draining, and drying functions after robot-side faults are excluded. This procedure is scoped to the Spot+Scrub AI (DR30 / RB05) and its Spot+Scrub wet-and-dry robot platform.

Instructions
How to diagnose this issue safely
- Bright flashlight
- Clean dry lint-free cloth
- Known-working wall outlet
- 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.
- Unplug the dock before cleaning contacts or inspecting its cable, adapter, dock tanks, caps, trays, or documented removable wet paths.
- Do not open a dock power supply, bridge charging contacts, or transfer another robot generation's dock.
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.
Record the exact dock-side failure
Note whether the Spot+Scrub AI reaches, aligns with, charges on, leaves, empties into, washes at, or otherwise communicates with the self-cleaning dock, power supply, and dry charging contacts. Separate arrival at the base from the dock function that fails.
Verify dock identity, power, and placement
Match the dock and adapter to the exact model, confirm the outlet works, and inspect the external plug, cable, indicator, base, and placement clearances. Keep liquid away from every power and charging surface.
Inspect dry contacts and accessible dock hardware
With the dock unplugged, wipe robot and dock contacts with a dry cloth. Inspect alignment guides and only the documented removable dock tanks, caps, trays, waste containers, rinse paths, and drying surfaces. Keep liquid away from the adapter and power input, and do not open the base.
Test one controlled dock cycle
Restore the fully assembled, externally dry dock and run one documented approach followed by the specific charging, emptying, cleaning, refilling, draining, or drying function that failed. If the robot reaches the base but that dock-contained function still fails, arrange DR30 / RB05 dock service.
