Samsung POWERbot VR9000 Right Driving Wheel Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

15 Minuten

Einleitung

Replace the right wheel of your POWERbot. This can be done to resolve a persistent error code (C 03) and/or to simply eliminate movement issues.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn off the emergency switch located at the bottom right of the POWERbot.

Schritt 2

Insert the plastic opening tool under the black cover, near the Samsung logo on the back of the device, and partially pry open.

Schritt 3

Slide the plastic opening tool to the left, remaining under the black cover, until two left side pins have been detached. Then slide the plastic opening tool to the right until two right side pins have been detached.
Grab the two clips near the front of the black cover, on in front of each wheel. Pull the clips away from the wheels.

I needed to replace the left drive wheel on a SR20J9250U model. It is largely the same and many parts have VR9000H stamped on them. I will add any differences as I see them.

For this step, there are three clips plus the clip in front of the wheel on each side. First clip is approx 6 cm from the centre at the back. Next is approx 11cm from the first clip and the third is 11 cm from the second clip (almost above the wheel). Then there is the clip in front of each wheel that you can see.

Schritt 4

Remove the black cover.

Schritt 5

Insert the plastic opening tool under copper-colored cover, under the words "CycloneForce," and pry open, applying a small rotation, until the two pins are released .
Grab the underside of the cover and lift upwards while pushing forward until the cover pops off.

Schritt 6

Remove the three 6mm Phillips #1 screws in the holes near the back of the device.

On my model SR20J9250J there is a forth screw on the right hand side I front of the vacuum motor that needs to be removed to lift the body off in step 10.

Whoops, this is step 7. Read further next time.

Schritt 7

Remove the 6mm Phillips #1 screw in the hole that was under the copper-colored vacuum cover.

Schritt 8

Flip the device over and remove the 6mm Phillips #1 screw in front of the left (from this perspective, right) wheel.

Schritt 9

Detach the wider circuit connector by pressing down gently on the left end of the clip and pulling the connector out.
Pull the connector out by the top and bottom of the white piece and not by the wires.

Schritt 10

Remove the top chassis from the POWERbot by grabbing the wheel covers and lifting upwards.

Schritt 11

Remove the three 5mm Phillips #1 screws in the holes around the vacuum motor.

Schritt 12

Lift the vacuum motor by grabbing the body of the motor and pulling upward.
Set the vacuum motor down on the circuit board. Be sure not to strain the wires connecting the motor to the circuit board.

Schritt 13

Remove the two 5mm Phillips #1 screws in the holes closest to the right wheel.

Schritt 14

Detach the top-most circuit connector on the right side by pressing down gently on the right end of the clip and pulling the connector out.
Pull the connector out by the top and bottom of the white piece and not by the wires.

Schritt 15

Remove the driving wheel assembly from the POWERbot by grabbing the wheel and lifting upwards.

Excellent directions, thank you for creating them so spot on. No physical evidence of any debris and visually connections are all intact, must be a faulty wire. Hopefully I can buy just the circuit wire and connector from the wheel to the motherboard without replacing the entire wheel and housing. Fortunately I haven't had any problems with plastic pieces breaking off attaching the wheel spring and I have had my robo vac for several years now running 3 to 4 times a week. Once again, thank you.

Great instructions, thank you. Would you happen to know where I can aquire this part or the gear wheels as that's what I think is the problem. Thanks Stephen Rawlings

Stephen Rawlings - 13/01/18

GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!!! I would have to say there is a design flaw where the wheel spring attaches. I have two of these vacuums and they both have had the same problem now 4 times the small plastic peice that holds the spring snaps off and you can not reattach the spring. I would assume that there is no quick fix and samsung would sell you the whole drive wheel. Is there a place where you can purchase parts ???

David Rod - 08/05/18

Did you find the answer to this question? Mine has had the same thing happen.

Amy Kurtz - 01/01/19

did you manage to fix ?

am i wanting the right wheel motor, are you willing to sell?

Very helpful, thank you!! My son has a 3d printer so may be able to create the part you are still looking for that part, @lightningrods

Super fantastic directions, no physical evidence of any debris must be a faulty wire. Visually connection are all intact.

Filomena Masci-Wagman - 08/11/19

Great, so I followed all the steps. Got it down and checked the wheels. Built it back up again. The left wheel is not moving as free as the right so the C03 error is not going

Shadia Jack - 30/12/19

Any suggestions on what could be wrong with the wheels? What should I replace or repair?

Shadia Jack - 30/12/19

Mostly engines are broken in wheels, but as I found out they do not sell separate engine, need to buy whole wheel

worked about 2 1/2 yrs then C03 notice which says right wheel problem . Bought new right wheel still C03 . Paid over $800, Going to trash it Will away from Samsung vacs . Maybe all products .

John B - 13/09/20

Dear John, Did you try to fix it and it doesn’t work? I’m wondering if I should invest money for wheel or it is better to leave it.

Katarzyna - 08/10/20

Dear Instruction Creator,

I try to find what wheel I need to buy but picture 8 made me confused. Am I right that on picture 8 is screen of wheel from different side than on others. As I see you were take off wheel which was on the right ( when picture from the top and on right side of the camera) but on this 8 is opposite? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hello, I replaced my burned motor with a dual axes 365. The original motor it's probably oem (it has ribbed shaft), but specs are 24V 12000rpm.

I just glued the gear to the shaft. Do not forget the black wheel on the back, should be essential to detect motor rotation.

Awesome instructions - thank you so much! You saved my Powerbot!!!!

dominic.charles - 15/11/20

This was perfect. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Howard Gee - 05/12/20

does anyone have a wheel motor to give or sell to me?

nique88 - 16/04/21

Thanks for the great instruction. I just finished installing with a replacement wheel from eBay, but got the exact same results. It starts, goes about 6”, then stops and flashes the error message. I could buy another replacement wheel, but they aren’t cheap and don’t want to keep throwing money at if this isn’t the root problem. Any suggestions?

Awesome instructions. Samsung wanted 249 dollars to repair. The part cost $40 and was easy with these instructions.
