A better fix for the Deebot N79 that keeps going in circles than just kicking it, kicking it un-wedges the buttons that keep getting stuck eventually the kicking wont work anymore because it sticks them even worse.
just need two tools a #1 phillips screw driver and a thin razor knife

Thank You!! I just fixed my bot because of you! Appreciate you taking the time to teach others.
Thank you!!! Please keep posting "how to fix things" because now my husband thinks I can fix things 😉
After I watched this video, my wife said... "Really, YOU'RE going to try to fix it?" Surprise, I was able to fix it!
Thanks!!!
Literally about to trash mine when I came across your video. Great informative video. Thanks
I have kicked mine 100 times, and was finally going to throw it in the trash. This was a HUGE help, thanks for taking the time to post this.
Thank you so much! I was so happy with the first N79 that I purchased a 2nd and enough parts for years. The 2nd developed this problem and when I took it apart I missed that stuck switch. I purchased another since I had all the parts and now a parts N79. The 3rd developed the same problem and I kind of gave up on them but kept them for parts or a possible repair in the future. I found your video and decided to check the switches and they were stuck on both. I had them both cleaned up and running in less than an hour!
Thank you! Bought an N79 in 2017. It stopped working in 2019. Thanks to this video I fixed it in 2020!
Monk rides again!!!!! right on!!! the switch was jambing on the one side just like you showed. used a box knife to cut it away a bit . works perfect again.... I had to replace my 3 year old batt, it made a huge diff in performance too... did this on my standard eufy and my 11+, tested batt voltage and it was perfect but the batts were not putting out enough amps to run the motors. expected the Lion batts to last 10 years but guess all the batt data is just hype. I use these in my personal 2400 sqft garage/shop makes huge diff keeping the dust under control....
Awesome video. I don’t think it was my bumper sensors that were getting mine messed up- instead, I think it was the 3 little laser sensors on the bottom. Either way, you taught me something and now my vacuum works again. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I thought I had just dumped hundreds of dollars down the drain. Nothing was working, until your video! Now it's as good as new! You rock!
Lol. Great Intro. Thx so much this has been make my OCD jump out of my body
This did not work on my Deebot at first, so I opened it up again and did a thorough dusting with a rag. Now it works. Thank you for the help!!
THANK YOU!!!! Would’ve NEVER guessed that this would be the fix to the issue!!
Thank you for this. Went through wiping down all the sensors and many other options. Turned out one of the buttons wasn't fully extending. Cleaned it out, and I have a working vacuum again.
Same. I pushed the buttons in, thought it wasn't the them because they bounced back just fine. After 3rd time of taking it apart, I tugged on the left, and it "clicked" ever so slightly. Now works
It worked! Thank you.
My N79 is from 2017 and it is still running strong thanks to a new battery and re-lubricated electric motor. If you replace the battery, be careful to get the correct battery connector.
At 1:45 the white plug is unplugged from the bumper. This plug maybe stuffed inside the N79 body and later fished out with needle nose pliers. This eliminates the risk of accidentally cutting wires with the X-Acto knife!
Trim both buttons/housings. The other button wasn't catching yet, but it was almost catching.
Just had our N79SE do the same thing. Followed your instructions for disassembly and didn’t find any tabs to cut, but did find that one of the little bumper actuators wasn’t extending all the way. Played with it a bit to clear whatever the jam was then reassembled. Sure enough, problem solved! Thanks for the help!
Omg I've opened it like 4 times never noticed the dam switches 🤦♂️ I'd only see videos or forums saying to clean sensor M-0 is now working at full force now my wife is happy before we dont need that 🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
I blew out mine with a little help from a straw, added some light oil and Tadah! Hairy rides again! Thanks!
Thank you! Same solution applied to fixing my Deebot 901 that would spin and only go backwards. After pulling off the bumper I found the spring loaded sensors (looked different), mine were tangled in the wires and didn't need to be shaved down.
Thank you, this cleaning got my machine back in line again. Awesome. Thank you for posting this information.
Thank you!!! I did used a can of air spray to clean it out since I couldn't take the whole plate off of mine - and it's back to work! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for helping fix my robot Nigel! He's back up and running.
Thank you!!! Was looking for something besides people telling me to kick it. This worked 100%
Another great video. I can't wait to see one with a little lead in the spread with the opening of dove season coming up!
Thanks! That was my problem - stuck switch. Love the ecovac on doghair.
Thanks for the help! We didn't have the tab but one of the sensors was stuck. Appreciate the information!
Thanks I didn't even have to take mine apart! I just gave it some good ole taps where those push buttons were and got it unstuck 😅
Thankyou! Second time I've referred to your video. The notches on mine aren't catching, but my 4 year old son likes to body slam the Derbot occasionally and it results in the jerky circle malfunction. Taking it apart your way and putting it back together seems to fix it
Thank you. Got it fixed in minutes thanks to this video.
Saved my sanity! Easy fix and I can stop kicking this thing now 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your helpful video. I had stuck my DEEBOT in a closet last year after taking the sensor bar apart and cleaning it as the manual suggests and nothing changed. It still went round in circles. This time, following your video I discovered one of the bars was stuck, and after popping it out, putting it back together, away it went. I did try to cut away some of the plastic but seems it wasn’t necessary. Thank you again, I have missed it!
It worked!!! Thank you
Thank you....really helpful and solved the problem instantly. Thanks 😊
Bro, you just saved me with this video! One simple fix and my vacuum was running fine again!
Very helpful. I'm not sure about cutting anything away around the mechanism. Mine was just stuck but the diagnosis was correct and the instructions were very good.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to try it later today.
Perfect fix. Thanks for the easy-to-follow video.
Thanks man I was losing my cool, haha almost punted this thing.
Yay! Thanks so much! Simple easy fix! And it has finally stopped circling!
Just tried your fix and it worked. You are the bomb. Keep posting as I also discovered the brushes just pop off. Who knew?
Awesome! glad this helped you! yeah its pretty cool what you can learn by just taking stuff apart.... granted I can get it back together 😆
I was literally about to throw mine out! Thank you!! And I have the deebot that also mops so this works on several different types of deebots
I have the 661
Thank you, sir, for sharing the tips
I just kicked my deebot ozmo 930 because it performs merry-go-around after 1 year of service, it solved the problem though, but yours are more permanent solution i guess.
Well, I did this first, to no avail. So on a whim I kicked it. I thought, what the hell, it doesn't work anyway so if I break it I'm not losing out.
Three swift kicks in the bumper worked. I thought it was a joke...but it wasn't. Deebot is now happily cleaning my floor.
Can confirm this appears to work. Shaved off a little bit off the side/top edges of both switches with a dremel tool and they no longer catch. Robot is once again scooting around the floor sucking up pug hair.
Mine wouldnt go straight and would stop after a couple seconds and beep 2 times. I took it apart as per your video and one of the buttons was stuck. It was an easy fix. Thanks for the video
After 3 years of his faithful service to my house, I was considering shelving my deebot because of this issue. He would spin, and after smacking him to keep him cleaning, he would clean for a minute, then stop again. Now it seems I don't need to!
OMG thank you so much. I was going crazy!!
Thank you so much. I saved my life 😌
Greeting from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thanks, worked like a charm.
Thanks, man! It works as per your instructions!
Kick-ass, THANK YOU!!!!!
That did the trick! Thank you very much!
Thank you... worked a treat. Back to not having to Hoover lol 💚
Holy crap it worked. I almost threw it away. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! This worked like a charm!
Soooo happy I fixed it ! Thank u
Thank you sir! Perfect fix

It works. Thank you very much for sharing I have same problem I did exactly what do you said. It works perfect now. 👍👍👍👍 I can buy a different Xmas gift now.😄😄
Thank you. It fixed that issue. ✌🏻
This video saved me! Thank you!!!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks so much.. really helped a lot!!
Thank you it worked 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just want to say thank you!
Thanks! It worked for me!
The moveable bumper sensors also have a tendency to collect dust and material like, well, like a vacuum cleaner. So you have to stick a blunt object or wetted Q-Tip in there to get all the junk out. Top, bottom and to the sides. Only disassemble further to take off the shell if you have a strong tummy, because you will find compacted dust bunnies all through guts of the cleaner. You’ll wonder why its still working….
So helpful! ❤
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thank You!!!!!
‘Bout ready to trash it,thanks pal.
Great Thanks bro'
Works great thanks
Thank you for video,problem solved,
Tnx good man 🙂
Hero.
crisis averted, thank you!
Hello there! Is there a way to hard reset this model from the vacuum itself? I cant find the button, please help me out!! I dont have the remote.
Glad it fixed yours. Sure did NOT fix mine. Nice waste of time though.
My black buttons are different, unable to trim them. I tried oiling the wheel and its working
Any advice if the buttons don't "hang" or get stuck? I know it has something to do with the bumper, since bumping it will get it going again and the Deebot will start going in circles when it bumps into something, but when I stop it, I don't notice that the bumper is stuck at all, and when I remove the bumper, I don't see anything getting caught or stuck. I'm able to push down on the buttons like at 2:20 and they pop back up without a problem. I should mention that I accidentally dropped the robot from about 4 feet a week ago, and it beeps twice after it spins around a few times. Thanks Giggin'em Outdoors for the video--at least I was able to inspect it.
My Deebot is working today. I wonder if it has something to do with me bending out the flat silver pieces that are visible in the video a 1:54.
@@GeeAre sorry missed your comment I hadn't logged in in a while, I was going to suggest cleaning the bumper really well or even using one of those headlight buffer kits to smooth it back out, as those were other fixes I found for my issue but didn't fix mine.
Thanks for the video. I don’t have the remote. Do you know how to reset it so I can reconnect to network? Thanks
I've a DN622/N79. Never got the unit to work with my WiFi. Never saw ECOVACS_00xx at any time, and yes I tried everything (2.4), press for 1 beep, etc. etc.
obrigado tudo de bom
Another thing you want to do is dont tighten the screw all way cause then the small plate will rub
Great vid ....i just bought my deebot n79s used online and i was wondering if anyone on here can help me , how do I do a factory reset on it ?..... i cant find the reset button or pinhole that it says to use , when i searched online it says that there's a hing top cover but there isn't on mines all i see is the Auto in blue color and wifi on top and power switch on the side
I'd try holding the power button down at the top until you hear 3 beeps.
I cannot get my front part to come off like yours did. I think I am missing something?
There are some screws that hold the bottom plate on the front once that's off the cover should come off
@@GigginemOutdoors do you mean the first 6 screws that are removed in the video? If so I did remove them, but then the front part does not come off
Just got mine back from repair, still doing circles and claiming the bumper is stuck. They replaced the dust bin pins but that wasn’t my issue
Sorry I'm a little late, but some people had good success polishing the front plate with some buffing compound, might be worth a shot.
that is not the actual cause. The motor is failing. Mine goes in circles now w/o the sensor bumper installed. I disconnected the sensor bumper and still goes in circles, the left side motor is no longer working. I think when the motor start going bad, it would stop and then occasionally start but eventually it fails. I can feel the resistance on the left motor being so much stronger when turning it by hand. It probably seized up slightly and burned.
Sorry to hear bud, must be an isolated incident because this has seemed to fix the majority of others with this issue, hope you can get it fixed buddy!
The motor will eventually run out of lube and squeak. With significant disassembly, the motor can be removed from protective housing and lubricated. There's a RUclips video for this. My N79 is running 1+ years after lubing the motor with bike lube (Purple Extreme).
My buttons and sensor are free and clear, and clean, and it still doesn’t work.
Threw mine in the trash they are programmed to expire just junk
