bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement

What you need

  1. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement, Top Cover: step 1, image 1 of 2 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement, Top Cover: step 1, image 2 of 2
    • Remove bObi’s front wheel to access one of the screws holding bObi together.

    • Make sure the wheel is turned closer to bObi's front touch sensors. Use your screwdriver for leverage, and the wheel will pop up and out.

    • Uninstall the larger screw that sits deeper in the wheel compartment.

    • Remove bObi's dustbin.

    • Uninstall the 2 screws close to the bin and 2 smaller screws above her main brushes.

  3. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 3, image 1 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 3, image 2 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 3, image 3 of 3
    • Lift the brush holder. To detach completely, unplug it from bObi.

    • Remove the two screws on the dustbin contact point holder inside bObi.

    • There are 4 screws beneath the main brushes. Uninstall these, and open bObi up to expose her main circuit board.

  4. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 4, image 1 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 4, image 2 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 4, image 3 of 3
    • Detach the two circuit plugs connecting bObi's cover to the main board and the cover will be completely removed.

  5. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement, Obstacle detection sensors: step 5, image 1 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement, Obstacle detection sensors: step 5, image 2 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement, Obstacle detection sensors: step 5, image 3 of 3
    • All of bObi’s wall detection sensors are plugged in to a small circuit board on the underside of the cover.

    • Refer to bObi’s check up test in order to determine which sensor is in need of repair. Then, remove the two screws holding it on the front bumper.

  6. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 6, image 1 of 2 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 6, image 2 of 2
    • You will be able to push the sensor from the inside of the cover, so it pops out of its place on the bumper.

    • Unplug the appropriate circuit plug from the cover's circuit board.

  7. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 7, image 1 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 7, image 2 of 3 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 7, image 3 of 3
    • Unhook the wires from the holders on the inside of the bumper.

    • Feed the circuit plug and its wires through the open space in bObi’s bumper.

    • Put the circuit plug for your replacement part through the obstacle detection sensor’s open slot.

    • Place the actual sensor in its space on the bumper and install the two screws which secure it to bObi.

  9. bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 9, image 1 of 2 bObi Robotic Vacuum Obstacle Sensors Replacement: step 9, image 2 of 2
    • Feed the wires for the sensor's circuit plug back through the hooks on bObi's bumper.

    • Then, plug it into the empty spot on bObi’s cover circuit board.

    • To finish off this repair, follow the closing bObi manual: Closing bObi's Cover Post-Repair

Conclusion

To reassemble bObi, refer to the Closing bObi Guide.
