Dyson Spot+Scrub AI repair
Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Wet Roller Repair
Wet-roller repair on the Spot+Scrub AI follows the exact roller, end-cap, tray, and drive arrangement 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.

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.
Remove liquid before servicing the roller
Empty and remove the documented clean- and dirty-water components so liquid cannot spill into the roller drive or electrical connections. Record the exact roller orientation, end cap, tray, and latch arrangement before removal.
Inspect the wet roller, ends, and drive interface
Remove hair and debris from the wet roller and tray using the exact owner method. Rinse or clean only the roller and removable parts that the exact owner guide identifies as washable; do not soak a powered head, robot, or dock. Check the roller surface, ends, bearing points, drive coupling, scraper, comb, and seating surfaces for wear or damage.
Refit the roller in its documented orientation
Refit the dry or properly prepared wet roller, end cap, tray, and cover exactly as the Spot+Scrub AI guide shows. Confirm the roller turns only as the disconnected owner procedure permits and that no seal, scraper, or wiring is trapped.
Make one controlled roller test
Refit every component and test briefly on a suitable hard floor. Watch for smooth roller rotation, correct seating, normal sound, and even contact. Stop for a repeated roller error, grinding, drag, or leakage into the drive area.
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.
