Roborock Q5 Side Brush Motor Replacement

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

6

Time Required

10 - 15 minutes

Introduction

The side brush motor powers the side brush as it sweeps dirt and debris from hard-to-reach corners. As the vacuum cleans, debris may get caught in the side brush or the motor, preventing it from spinning. Removing debris from the side brush or lubricating the motor for buildup can prevent malfunction.

If the side brush and the motor are clear of debris and lubricated, but they are still not working, the side brush motor may be defective. This guide will show you how to replace it.

Before starting this process, power off your device.

    • The screw is attached to the side brush so they cannot be separated.
