Ahh yes, classic i7 tower, masterpiece who ever dodo invented this one, as much as i love it, its also hate relationship too. Ive broken plasic tab hook/ connects tab inplace (bag) Made metal one. And crapy flimsy trigger switch, when insert bag, clears lid as (bag in). Broke metal spring tab on the switch. So If you watch video, the bag sensor is little red and black positive and negative wires. Off motherboard, That go up next too clear pvc pipe for vac pressure sensor. Join thos together to complete circuit and no more bag problems. Your welcome 😊 And thanks for video adds 👍
Hey man, thanks so much for the video. Really helpful. But you were lucky you didn't get any electric shock... I can see there are huge capacitors on the motherboard which can deliver fatal discharge even when unplugged from the wall. For anyone who will be following this, do NOT touch the motherboard with bare hand. Avoid physical contact it as much as possible. Maybe this is why it was designed this way so people can't open this easily.
this explains so much why it has nothing but complaints,stops charging the robot,vacuum stops activating when the robot docks,and the inferred dock stops working so the robot will eventually give up looking for it,mother board looks cheaply made and cold soldered, plenty of roomba customers are not happy repaying 250$ for this base which looks like 99$ quality assembly all inside of it.
Thanks so much! My base will no longer power up. I can see there is no point in me opening it up to see if I can fix it. Thanks for the heads up! It's been working for years so I think it's just that time. 😢
Sweet video you beat me too it 😁. Was going to do a tear down, anyways I’ve been getting comments mentioning your tear down video 👍🏻 PS what NEXT🤔🤔🤔. Tear Down of the Ford Raptor 😆
I had a major failure of my Clean Base due to moisture (my Roomba s9 picked some water from the floor). So, I am really surprised that iRobot didn't put any protective coatings (conformal coatings) on a PCB.
Samsung Navibot SR8980 had even less powerful motor rated at 600Watts although it utilize bagless system. Also, it employ some of the exhaust air to blow out the dust from the robot bin directly to the vacuum inlet in the base. Interesting design.
I got a question, how come the station lacks a hepa filter, it basically blasts all the... Into the air, while even the robot has a small hepa filter..
Hey Adam hope you're well. Thanks for making the video. Just wondering what you think it would take to convert one of these bases from 110v to 240v. Just the power board or more? Thanks heaps
Hi Adam I just want to take the tower off I got halfway and dont want to get down to the motor I think that there is a blockage that wont allow it to get to the bag
Thanks for the video! Was your clean base affected by the recent recall? It seems some only had a power cable swap, and others had to be sent a whole new base. Does anyone know what the internal differences are in the new version?
I recently had a bad clog about 6-8 inches from the bottom, had to use one of those rotary plumbing snakes( turning it by hand) to get the clog out. Along with the debris that came out there was 2 pieces of plastic that would have been together. Wondering what this plastic was for, clean base is working fine now without what ever the plastic was for. Wanted to know if you can see this plastic part in the tube after you had it disassembled? If you still have the parts.
Just wondering, did it work after you reassembled it? Mine just started cycling 3 times every time the Roomba returned. Do you the the activation signal comes from the roomba or the base? Fun video to watch! Appreciate th time you took to do it!👍
@@BigBossIvan Took it all apart and managed to put it back together, no extra parts or screws. Have no idea what I did but it’s working fine now. Sorry I can’t give you a better answer.
I have a question my i7's left wheel started to making sound and its not going through straight lines anymore and then i opened my i7 but i couldnt open the wheel compleatly. to be honest i really dont want to buy a new wheel do you know how can we open the wheel compleatly or can you please make video about that? I also saw lots of comments and discussion on the web as well.
Thanks for the video I have a question not sure if you will be able to help but I unit is from USA 110V and here is south Africa we use 220V base charge the rumba but base motor do not work do you a pic of the motherboard with a part number ?
What kind of plastic do you think the ir window is made from? I'm trying to find out so I can buff scratches off of mines ir window. Hoping you would have an idea after tearing this one down. Thank you so much!
Hi! =) Du u have any informations where i can buy new Charging pins? one of my Pins is broken, no idear how that happens. I dont find this pins, only any pins with a spring

A touch hard to understand, but I think I get most of it. Can you post a video on what you're talking about. I think I have a similar problem.

Thanks! Mine had a blockage i couldnt reach by just removing the bottom tube.. took the whole thing apart with your video! Thanks a lot
Came here because it was a major PITA and I feel validated by your I intro confirmation

Yep that describes my I7 with clean base. Damn thing won’t dock on it anymore. So frustrating.
Thank you soo much I always wanted to see the inside of the clean base
Thanks for the teardown video. That sticker had me until I watched your video. Appreciate it!

Yes! :)
thanks for the video just be careful with the motherboard PLEASE
Was having trouble taking the inner tube out. Thanks!!

Thanks for all you do 👍
You should go work for Roomba. Nope, I could take it all apart, but doubt I could get it put back together correctly 😊
5 Year old me when I had taking apart stuff problems
Very helpful. Thank you for this video. It gave me the details I needed.

Did you manage to put it back together? It looked a nightmare to do!

I have not had any problems with my base...didnt even realize there was a recall.
Could you tell me more about power cable swap? Did it cause not powering on or just safety issue?

Awesomeness
Something rattling around in mine she’s still working after this vid she’s gonna keep on rattling lmao
my hero
What could be causing it not powering on?

thanks for unscrewing those screws🪛
I’m kinda surprised they used a brushed motor
atom starfire productions some Panasonic bagless uprights uses this exact same motor.
David Perry the motor is made by Panasonic, which makes sense. But it expected a BLDC motor to be used instead.
