Instructions

How to complete this repair

Useful tools
  • Bright flashlight
  • Clean lint-free cloth
  • Soft dry brush
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.
  • Do not glue, grease, stretch, or substitute an O-ring or gasket unless the exact manufacturer procedure specifies that material and action.
  • Do not open the cyclone pack, motor body, powered head, battery, robot drive, pump, or dock to search for an internal seal.
  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. Clean each documented sealing surface

    Remove the robot debris container and dock debris collection path, filter covers, detachable air-path joints, and owner-removable tanks that this platform actually has. Wipe dust or grit from visible seals and mating faces without pulling a bonded gasket out of its channel.

  3. Inspect for a confirmed defect

    Look for a rolled lip, cut, flat spot, permanent distortion, missing section, cracked cuff, warped cover, or latch that cannot compress the seal evenly. A clog can mimic a leak, so confirm the airway is clear too.

  4. Reseat or replace only a listed owner part

    Reseat a displaced removable seal exactly as shown in the guide, or replace the complete listed debris container, filter cover, wet-roller cassette, or removable tank when its seal is not separately serviced. Match the machine code.

  5. Test for restored performance

    Refit every dry part until it latches flush and make one short test. Continued air leakage, dust escape, or liquid leakage from an internal joint requires professional service.
