Shark ION Robot S87 Bumper Replacement

Introduction

Your Shark ION Robot S87 may have a blocked suction motor, or the robot may be running into objects while in use. This problem may have to do with the bumper of the robot and whether or not it is assembled accurately. Items and/or other debris may be stuck in front of the sensors causing the robot to bump into objects. This replacement guide will teach you how to fix these common problems.
