Where can I get a replacement plastic gear for the front motor?

The plastic gear is split and missing a tooth causing it to lockup when being used.

Thanks, Rod

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 09:24:18 -0700

My Dyson DC14 makes a loud clicking noise when it is in the vacuum position. When it is in the upright position it does not make this noise. I know there is a series of steps that can be taken to reset the unit. Does anyone know the procedure? Thanks!

Carpet Cleaner: My hoover dual power max will only suck up water with upholstery tool

Sat, 26 Sep 2020 22:37:12 -0700

I have only had it for a year, usually works great. Recently got it out to clean the carpets and it wont suck up water. Thoroughly clean the unit and checked all hoses and filters to no avail. However, I put on the upholstery attachment and it works like a dream. But I cannot do all my carpet with that, it would take forever. Any ideas?

iRobot Roomba 560: Access to Roomba 560 circuit board.

Tue, 22 Aug 2017 19:32:41 -0700

I have a faulty Roomba 560. afer substitution teting I gather the problem is in the board.

I suspect the problem may be in some capacitor as the problem is intermitent but recurring.

simple screw driver dismantling left me short of the pcb.

Where can I find instructions to access the pcb?

Roborock S7: Two plastic parts are leftovers but where from?

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:16:07 -0700

I teared my vacuum cleaner (Roborock S7 later model) down (have to change the vibrating module) and in some point I turned it (vacuum cleaner) upside down these parts dropped out on the table. The size of the fallen out rectangular black plastic part is about 13x4x5 mm including some kind of similar notches on it's each end. There are two pieces not exactly the same looking parts but the sizes are the same. I might remember they falled out after removing the main brush module and then when I turned vacuum cleaner upside down there parts falled out. The model is the later one and European (Roborock S7) . Anyone who might know these parts locations in vacuum cleaner would you please tell me?

Black and Decker Dustbuster CHV1410: CHV1410L vacuum cleaner charger current ratings

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:57:07 -0700

Hi,

I have a CHV1410L vacuum cleaner with it's S010QU2300040 charger. The charger is DC 23V and 400mA current rating. But, if I charge the vacuum cleaner from my DC power supply and set it to 23V, it draws close to 2A (2000mA). Reducing voltage reduces current too.

Questions:

I was expecting it to draw <= 400ma current even with DC power supply. Why is it drawing more current ?
Is it safe to charge CHV1410L from DC power supply as explained above?

Cheers!

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 06:46:04 -0700

I bought new battery from the iFixit store but even leaving it charging for a whole night it never reaches 100%.

I followed the instructions to mount it, holding the robot's buttons before inserting the new battery.

To be on the sure I did an hard reset of the robot but the battery does not fully charge.

Xiaomi Docking Station CDZ02RR: Roborock S5 not charging - Error 13

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 10:05:59 -0700

Hi !

I have the problem Error 13 . In the robot changed the P185 fuse.

I have 2 charger. In same chaerger changed the condensator . Not some cheap, im using Nichicon 450v 68uF.

One charger working good, all ok, but the another not.

On the bad charger measuring 4,2v , if charged 20v.

Sometimes the robot starts charging, but after a few days it doesn't. Then I put the charger aside and after a few it's good again for a while.

In the bad charger changed again another Nichicon condenstor --- not working

Changed the ISA07N65A Mosfet ---- not working

what can i do? Have any idea ? Thanks

Hi @hainzy !

My question its moved so, i try answear here.

"the Parts your replaced where faulty, or did you replace them without checking?

when you are already replacing parts you could also try to replace these:

- Mosfet B09N03 (EMB09N03H) or B09A03 (EMB09A03HP) - depending on the version

- Controller MAX8731A (MAX8731AETI+) or BQ24773 (ref BQ24773RUYT) - depending on the version

or you replace the whole board of the Robot, or the charger.

That would probably be easier...

But you did already check the battery, right? "

The capacitator its fault , the mosfet i think not, but i have one new so i chang it.

The battery its good, with another charger allworking ok.

If i can buy, i will try change the Mosfet B09N03 and the Controller MAX8731A. Thanks,

Old battery was dead. Bought a new one. Plugged it in and the red charging light just kept blinking. No charge appeared to be taking place. Thought battery was bad and they sent me another. Same thing. Red light just keeps blinking, no charge.

What am I doing wrong? How do I trick it into charging a new battery?

This is an older red Roomba 4100.
