Video Overview
-
-
Flip Bob over and remove the 7 screws around which hold the cover together.
-
Remove the main brush. Unscrew the holder, and lift the brush out. Reminder: Keep this screw separate from the others so you can use it later to reinstall.
-
-
-
Remove three circuit plugs from the motherboard. Pinch the small white tab on the side of each circuit plug and pull straight up to release each from the motherboard.
-
1. On the bottom left corner: a small connector with red, black and white wires.
-
2. One thick white wire that attaches on the right side of the previous connector.
-
3. On the top edge of bOb’s motherboard: a wide multicoloured connector.
-
Place the cover aside and begin your repair.
-
-
-
-
After removing bObsweep's cover, there will be a secondary cover over the wheels that must be removed. Uninstall all six screws holding it in place.
-
There are two screws on the sides of each wheel, one above and one below.
-
There are two screws just beneath the main board's bottom edge.
-
-
-
Lift the appropriate wheel up and you will see where it plugs in to the motherboard.
-
The multicolored wires for bOb's right wheel connect in the centre of the motherboard's left edge.
-
But the circuit plug for the left wheel connects to the bottom edge of the motherboard, closer to its right side.
-
-
-
Make sure to feed the wires for the circuit plug along the bottom of bObsweep, so they do not move when vacuuming later.
-
For the right wheel, you will need to feed the wires to the right of the screw post, under the motherboard, and then back up, before you plug it into the motherboard's lower edge.
-
For the left wheel, feed the wires along bOb's bottom and as far to the left as possible before plugging it back in to the motherboard.
