I have a Dolphin Plus that I purchased on Amazon in 2016. It died a couple years ago and I took it partially apart to find that the swivel part of the power cord had failed. I bought a replacement part that is the piece that connects to the cleaner for around $60 and that got it going again. It failed again a couple days ago with the same issue but this time I would have to replace the entire cord because the swivel connector is a piece of garbage. Instead of replacing the cord I cut the swivel connector out, waterproofed the connection and it is running again. 😊

This is great info. I haven't yet taken my broken unit apart to find the cause. Thanks for your comment.

6 years and I’m here. Haven’t replaced any of the parts but have been taking it apart the past two years when the tracks and rollers came off alignment. Started well this season and now it’s not doing anything. Considering cutting my losses and getting a replacement

Im kinda in the same boat as you. But I figure I cant break whats already broke, and I might learn a little trying to fix this one. I hope you figure it out and have a good backup. Or fix the old one and return the new one inside 30 days. Thanks for the videos, shared experiences helps us all

Check the other comments on this video to find a video link on how to work on these, very interesting and looks simple. Thank you for the comment.

In other bad news, Maytronics has done away with the non-Wifi CC Plus version, lots of my older customers don't want to have the hassle of hooking up to wifi, then having to schedule the running cycles thru their phone. I hate this as I recommended this unit to many of my customers to replace the overly priced always breaking down Polaris. Nice video.

Sorry to hear that, I just purchased a non-wifi unit last month from Amazon so maybe I got one of the last. Here is the link and it shows unavailable: amzn.to/3z5SHRJ

You’re lucky it lived that long.

Another year or two would have been nice :) Thanks for your comment.

Mine has started to go for like 15 minutes and completely stop. I wonder if it’s on its way outs we’ve had it for 4 years as well

@LandingZoneHome 18 күн бұрын

Sounds like it. Good luck.

Mine did the same thing after exactly 4 years. I took it apart completely, and I found that the wires connecting between the cord and the circuit board were completely burned up. Very high resistance. I replaced these connections and she worked but I couldn’t find parts to do it right so I don’t know how long this repair is gonna last. But there’s obviously a problem in the design for this to be happening. The swivel connectors on these also go bad. Overall the design is not great.

Thanks for the tips. Four years seems to be a common failure point.

If the out-of-water test you mention works, then what is the issue and recommended repair?

@LandingZoneHome 16 күн бұрын

If that test works I would guess it is okay and will clean.

Did you try using new power box on old unit or new unit on old box?

@LandingZoneHome 2 ай бұрын

Yes, the old power supply works fine with the new unit. When I get time I will take it apart and test the cable. Stay posted for that video, so please subscribe. Thank you for your comment.

You can check if cable is bad by checking continuity using a multi meter if its cable a replacment cable is 150-170 bucks or you might be able to repair if its a pin in the swivle. I found this video helpful, as far as replacing guide and drive wheels, but it has more detail than just that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLhyZbGI0M-YaX0.html

Thank you for the link, I watched that video and it answered my questions on how to get it open for inspection and repair. I'll check my cable too.

My CC Plus no WIFI is not working and it’s less than 6 months old. I was expecting it to last at least 5 years. I purchased it from Amazon and now I have to take it to a repair shop almost 150 miles from my house since I’m liable for any damage to the unit during shipping and I also have to pay for the shipping to get it to the repair shop. Non of this information is list on Amazon or anywhere else before you buy the pool cleaner until you get it home and open the unit and read the instructions included in the box. I would have gone with another product or got one from a local store not Amazon and avoid this whole hassle of mailing heavy products and taking a chance on getting it damaged during shipping. Anyway, lesson learned and will not be buying anything like this from Amazon again. I hope this pool cleaner can be fixed by the repair shop and that repair will last enough years for me to actually use this unit and get my money back I’m spending on it right now. Very sad that products these days are so cheap and poorly made for such a high cost. This was $799 plus tax so it’s not cheap to buy. I hope this information is helpful for someone who may think about buying one.

The cord is the weak point of this unit. It is a poor design. The cord leaks.It won't last a season. It has nothing to do with the quality of the water.The swivel component of the cord is faulty.

@LandingZoneHome Ай бұрын

Agree the cable is the weakest link to this device. When Maytronics told me water balance was the main reason units fail; I immediately knew that was a cop out! Thanks for your comment.

@flyingrfarm Ай бұрын

Wow… we now accept INFERIOR quality because when compared to paying someone else to do it, it’s cheaper. 🧐 It’s sad that companies calculate how to increase PROFITS more than they consider how to create QUALITY products. What can we do? People with pools are considered well able to afford these expenditures on low quality products.

@LandingZoneHome Ай бұрын

Anything can break, especially electronics so the question becomes "how long do you expect something to last?" I really don't know how long these units should last and that is why I came up with the comparison of paying someone to perform the work of the robot cleaner. I may still be able to repair my broken unit and hopefully I'll find time to look into that soon. Thanks for your comment.
