@@kalyngourley5820 wow I really didn’t think this video would help so many people, but I’m incredibly glad that you were able to sort your own machine and I bet you have experienced the satisfaction reward of doing it yourself! Thank you very much for watching, if you haven’t done so already I would really appreciate if you subscribe to my channel as it will help me create more videos like this.

Hi Colin! I’m pumped about this feedback! Im glad that it was helpful to you. If you haven’t done so already it would be amazing if you can subscribe to my channel for more helpful videos and help me grow the channel!

Haha that’s so good mate! I’m really stoked that my fairly average video has helped so many people already! I thought I better speed it up slightly so it didn’t drag out too long. Plus I’d really like if you would subscribe and help me build this thing up. Thank you

Hey there! I love this! Glad that you were able to give it a go and get it done. I’m already looking for what else I can make some videos on to help people fix things and reduce waste from broken but repairable items

No problem! Glad it was helpful to you. Please feel free to watch some of my other videos and subscribe to help me create some more helpful videos. Thank you

You're welcome!

Yes its extremely annoying how easily the gear stripped, we have two of these and both have now done it.. However, ours was when the main brush gobbled up the kids shoelaces and string from their toy train. Hopefully you found this video helpful as the parts are cheap and the repair is easy enough. Just a bit of a mission to get to the motor itself. Please like and subscribe if you found value, I have more content ideas up my sleeve so would appreciate the following

Hey mate, not too sure, but you could try take out the main brush first and run it to see if the sound is less and then if it is, will likely be the problem. Feel free to subscribe and help motivate me to make more videos of this kind of stuff. I appreciate your comments

Oh no, sorry to hear that. It’s worked fine for me each time I have done this. First thing I would try is a restart and try re-pair it. If that doesn’t work, you may have to carefully open it back up and make sure everything is connected properly and that no wires were pinched between components when putting it back together.

I restarted multiple times. I’m not sure what happened. I hate those little ribbon serial cables that connect auxiliary boards. They never work again after I disconnect and reconnect them. Thanks for the video, man, I really appreciate it. But this one is going in the trash and I’m getting another iRobot. I have two 800 series that are like tanks. Both still run. Easily fixed when they break. Should have stuck with iRobot and now I regret buying this Chinese POS.

I just disassembled it again today three times, unplugging and replugging in that Molex ribbon connector to the Wi-Fi card. Third time’s a charm! It works!

Nice work man! Perseverance usually pays off. Glad you got it sorted

Hi, I got the spare part from AliExpress. The Deebot is made in china so figured this would be a good source and it’s still working 100% since the install.

Can post a link if you want?

Sorry to hear that mate. what I would potentially try if this happened to me is. - check to see if it gives you an error message after going backwards. For example. “Please clean the drop sensor” and if it does then that will help point out what the problem is. - I suspect that either something is still unplugged or a wire is pinched/damaged. Some wires run very close to the housing joints, so I would carefully open it again and look to see if any wires are kinked or jammed between parts. Really hope you can get this sorted! Where in the world are you located?

Yeah it says about the drop sensor. I pulled most of it apart except the wheels. I’ll dig a bit further tonight and hopefully get it working again! And from Aus 🤙🏻🇦🇺

Haha yeah it’s fairly involved and not everyone’s idea of fun! Thanks for watching and all the best with the repair.
