Thanks, it was really helpful! Mine was dropped on the floor and the motor/wheel assembly was loose. Wheel assembly would pop out of place every time the robot would hit something. Turns out there was kind of a rubber pin with a big screw just under the pump keeping the assembly in place and it wasn’t in place anymore !
I love this unit, but with 3 of my family having long hair those wheels are always getting clogged! I try to remove most with tweezers and a lighter. But even when the hair is removed, robot forgets how to go forward. So you have to push him for a bit, then he remembers.
YES! after removing the cover take out the screws in the wheels. They may be tangled with hair preventing them from turning. I have to cut out the hairs every couple months.
Has anyone tries removing/replacing the wheels on this one? Mine has some problem with the left wheel which seems to be jammed. Moving it around didn't solve the issue so I figure I have to open it...
@@svenfrimont If i remember correctly i uses a pair of reverse tweezers and a lot of trying. It took me quite some tries but i got it. You can also use regular tweezers and pinch the pipe realpy hard around a centimeter away from the end. Then stretch it down to the spray nozzle pipe. Hope it helps
@@nejkocookie1153 Thank you for your quick answer :) I disassembled the robot even further and after a short sign of panic (will I ever be able to assemble it again... :D ) I made it!
Yes, you should just be able to unplug the connector for the wires that go to the motor or if the wires are soldered on just cut the red or black one that goes to it. I don’t have it with me anymore otherwise I would give better advise. You could just not put water in it too though. That wouldn’t damage anything.
I'd figure iFixit would give this a repairability score of 0. I had one that the motor seized up, and I was able to clean the hair out, which I don't think was actually the problem. The regular iRobot Roombas, even the really old ones, are very repairable.
Thanks this helped me get to those wheels. Matted im hair they were.
Great video! This was helpful for me.

Merci, grâce à vous j'ai réussi à le démonter, reste à voir si j'arrive à lui faire à nouveau projeter de l'eau
Thanks!! Good job :)

They made no intention to make this thing remotely repairable by normal people.
Thanks for the videos. Have you ever had 240s that struggle to move?

Omg same
Hi, one whell of my Brava240 isn´t working. Do you know how to open the other unit? Xs!
Any tips on reattaching the blue pad eject button?
Snap/clicks back on.
How did you re-attach the pipe connecting the tank and the spray nozzle?
Nejkocookie11 I either just used my fingers or a pair of needle nose pliers. I can’t quite remember.
@@lsm13b66 thanks!
Nejkocookie11 How did you do this? I have the same problem..

any upgrades mods or diy??? anybody
Is there a way to turn off the water pump completely, maybe a wire that can cut?
Yes, you should just be able to unplug the connector for the wires that go to the motor or if the wires are soldered on just cut the red or black one that goes to it. I don’t have it with me anymore otherwise I would give better advise. You could just not put water in it too though. That wouldn’t damage anything.
Or just mimic the cutout of dusting pad on the sensors and it woun’t spray.
@@lsm13b66 thanks... I don't use water at all but pump still makes noise. Still need the mopping mode because I use pre wet wipes.
@@BrZi38501 the vibrations in mopping mode are really effective.... In Dustin mode it doesn't mop well. I Tried.
