ECOVACS SLIM: Rechter zijborstel blijft doordraaien, ook tijdens opladen

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 23:17:26 -0700

Mijn oude, maar niet veel gebruikte Deebot Slim blijft sinds kort het rechter zijborsteltje doordraaien.
Ook wanneer deze op het laadstation staat; blijft alleen die rechter-borstel rond draaien.
De simpele reset werkt niet. De enige manier om hem te laten stoppen is om de accu leeg te laten draaien of volledig uit te zetten en hem niet op laadstation te zetten.
Wanneer ik de stofzuiger met de aan-/uitknop onderaan de machine uit zet, en hem dan op het laadstation zet; blijft dat borsteltje ook rond draaien.

irobot roomba combo: Nieuwe tandwielen aandrijving borstel

Tue, 02 May 2023 10:32:05 -0700

Ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe tandwielen voor mijn Irobot Roomba Combo, type RVF-Y1. De borstel draait nog wel, echter met enorm veel herrie. Heel het apparaat uit elkaar geknutseld om erachter te komen dat de tanden bot zijn. Deze grijpen soms in elkaar, soms rammelen ze langs elkaar. Het zijn kunststof tandwielen, heeft iemand een leuk adres waar ik nieuwe kan bestellen? Alvast bedankt! Foto's en specifieke gegevens heb ik indien nodig

iRobot Braava Jet 240: Waarom stopt mijn Braava en lijkt het alsof hij vast zit?

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 01:46:42 -0700

Mijn Braava stopt tijdens het uitvoeren van een schoonmaaksessie en gedraagt zich alsof hij vast zit, of dat de wielen vastzitten. Hij gaat dan niet verder en maakt een hoog (elektronisch) piepgeluid.

Neato XV-21: De Display valt steeds uit en start niet meer vanzelf ondanks batterij

Tue, 04 May 2021 08:28:41 -0700

De Display valst steeds uit na enkele minuten. Ik heb voor de 2de maal nieuwe batterijen in gestoken. Je moet lang en dikwijls op de Start toets drukken om de display terug te laten oplichten. Eénmaal de display aan is kan je manueel de programma’s en andere zaken starten en wijzigen. Het toestel werkt nog maar niet meer automatisch omdat de display uit gaat.

Irobot Roomba 980: Impossibilité de connecter l’appli Irobot à mon wifi

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:11:41 -0700

Bonjour,

j’ai acheté un roomba 980 la semaine dernière et je n’arrive pas paramétrer l’application Irobot.

j’utilise un iPhone X.

L’application est bien installée, je commence mes différentes étapes, choisi le robot (type aspirateur simple), autorise l’accès au Bluetooth, active la localisation , autorise l’accès au réseau local puis le renommé. Et après c’est le bug. L’appli demande de se connecter à notre wifi puis de revenir sur l’appli, ce que je fais, et lorsque je reviens j’ai un message d’erreur : « votre téléphone e n’est pas connecté à un réseau wifi. Accédez aux paramètres du téléphone et connectez vous à un réseau Wifi ».

j’ai essayé de me mettre en mode avion et de n’avoir accès que au wifi, j’ai essayé de désactiver l’accès aux données cellulaires pour forcer l’appli à trouver le wifi mais rien ne fonctionne et je tombe à chaque fois sur ce message d’erreur…

si quelqu’un a une idée je suis preneuse. J’ai tel le SAV roomba qui ne savait pas.

Je précise que je n’ai aucun pb avec mon réseau wifi.

merci par avance !! ???

Electrolux PI915SSM: How to fix error code E23 and E21?

Wed, 20 May 2026 18:02:05 -0700

Hi,

I have problem with my pure i9.

I got e23 and e21 error codes and i bought new batteries to fix it. Its still showing same error codes, when i put it on charging station.

Sometimes it shows red battery icon, sometimes white, but error codes stays same.

I have cleaned charcing stations two metal pads and also pads beneath the vacuum. Pads are shiny clean and dont have any corrosion or dirt.

I have also cleaned the hole vacuum with bottled air, so vacuum is clean from dust and dirt.

Internet forums dont have anymore solutions to fix my vacuum. Some forums are telling that this pure i9-model usually get eletronic fault and it cant be fixed...

Can someone please save my vacuum from dumpster?

Narwal Freo Z10: Clean Water Tank Empty ... but it's NOT

Sat, 16 May 2026 20:23:25 -0700

We've had our Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra for about 6 months now. Love this thing! However, we seem to be having a recurring issue with the base station clean water tank. After filling the clean water tank and starting up, the narwal becomes angry from time to time and will say "fill clean water"... even though the tank is full and properly installed. My wife has found a temporary fix: using a baby medicine syringe to inject water into the base station clean water tank connection point. Doing this 3 or 4 times seems to clear up the issue... but a few days later same fault occurs. Anyone know of a root cause or complete fix?

Some things I have tried:

Cleaned both waste water and clean water tank thoroughly

Small pipe cleaner run through of all water lines to verify no obstructions

Thorough cleaning and maintenance of vacuum robot

This close to tearing the base station apart and doing a thorough cleaning.... when the wife isn't looking🫣

Samsung Jet Bot VR30T80313W: Battery won't charge.

Tue, 12 May 2026 14:49:13 -0700

So I just got my robot vacuum back after lending it to my brother.

Turned out it stopped working a while ago.

When I got it back I started to diagnose it.

The first thing I noticed was, when it's docked in the charginstation, it turns on and I can adopt it into the smart things app. The battery read 0% and no matter how long it charges it wouldn't go up.

So I started by disassembling the battery down to its individual cells. Turned out 5 out if 6 cells were completely dead (absolute 0 volts).

So I ordered some new cells and put the battery back together. The battery now shows 21,7 volts. But it still doesn't want to run outside the chargingstation.

When I use a multimeter on the battery, while it's connected to the chargingstation it shows about 25 volts on d+ to d- (the plugs from the vacuum to the PCB on the battery). And still 21,7 volts on b+ to b- (the spot welded tin to the battery). It has now charged for about 2 hours and it's still about 37% charged (so not getting charged).

I've tried to put the PCB under an thermal camera to see if anything gets hot, but it doesn't. Even with it plugged into the chargingstation, without the chargingstation or it disconnected from the robot. I've also tried to connect 21 volts 1 a with a powersupply connected both on d+ to d- and on b+ to b-, yet nothing gets hot.

Anyone have any idea on how I could fix this?

I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I do watch some youtubers like NorthridgeFix and TronicFix so I have some general idea.

Should I disconnect the cells again and maybe try injecting voltage over some of the chips on the PCB or check the resistance on some of the caps? If so i would love some guidence. I don't have a chip programmer yet, but I will order one sooner or later, if needed.

Roborock Qrevo S: roborock Qrevo S Robot Lidar error. Check that the turret turns freely

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:46:48 -0700

Does anyone have a guide on how to disassemble the Qrevo S?

Context:

My robot hasn't hit the year mark and yet he doth betray me with the Lidar error. I tried spinning the lidar with a cotton swab a few (15) times (it turns just fine), cleaning the area with a toothpick and vacuum, moving it, soft resetting it, hard resetting it and now I'm at a loss.

I followed this guide initially, but unfortunately it doesn't get me all the way to the turret motor in my model: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/commen...

I have tried YouTube, google and am a hair's breadth away setting fire to my poor tool kit.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
