It’s out of warranty. It works but only when I press and hold the button in, so I can’t use it. I think it’s something to do with the button mechanism.

Any ideas? It’s not the robovac brand but obviously it wasn’t cheap!

    After you’re done with the switch, might as well do a little cleaning/maintenance:

    1. the brush is held in by the blue piece with two tabs - push those tabs up, take off the guard and you can remove the brush. Use scissors to cut any hair wrapped around the brush and remove it then pull as much junk out as you can. The brush has one square peg end that the motor drives and it’ll need to go back in the correct side, the other side just sits in and then put the blue piece back on.

    2. the wheel that spins around in different directions is how the vacuum controls its movements and it can be pulled out and cleaned of all that hair and junk - your robot will be better able to maneuver and understand where it is.

    3. You may want to consider some replacement parts for where I see a missing side brush, for example: https://www.amazon.com/CauYien-Replacement-RoboVac-Cleaner-11s/dp/B0BYRWQRPK/ref=asc_df_B0BYRWQRPK

    You got this and you’ll feel better once you’ve done it yourself!
