Love this - my polaris pool cleaner is starting to not operate well after many years of use. The lack of troubleshooting and features on these cleaners is driving me nuts. In my case it has a reverse off the beach feature when it detects the suction motor is not in water. This is triggering, and it's reversing a ton. A new motor assembly is more than the new aiper robots. I would love to see a bunch of handy peopel design a robot that uses cheap off the shelf parts and is DESIGNED to be easily repairable. Looks like i should have bought a dolphin over the polaris IQ....

Hey Luke, great vid... I'm just waiting on a part in a last ditch effor to fix my Maytronics DB2 also.. My issue is a seized servo motor and it was difficult to find the replacement (if the one I ordered is correct). Have you had any issues after opening the motor with water getting in? I was thinking I might put some silicon or something around the seal as the repair shop said they would not even open them due to water problems after this is done.
@LeisureLukeАй бұрын
Haven't had any water issues, but you could add some new Silicone Grease to the rubber gasket rings. Just be careful putting the lid back together to slide it on evenly. It's built to be a serviceable part, you can even take the lid on and off without tools.

Hi, I think my problem is in the tracker motor rather than the impeller because that white but on top doesn’t move. I’ve taken the motor apart and one part is rock solid and won’t move. Any ideas how to replace it please?
@ChrisCordell-x2fАй бұрын
Do you think the same fix would work for the drive motor? I think it's possible I have a similar issue, but it's the drive motor that won't turn easily. Or - how would I know if it was the cord? Mine won't even get to where it begins moving, the control panel will turn on briefly and then flash and turn off. Thanks for any help you can give!

@LeisureLukeАй бұрын
You'll take the dolphin apart, like in this video. When you separate the block box lid and case, you can set the case aside. I'm not 100% sure how the cord attaches. The 3-pronged end is just press tight into the lid. I believe it can be removed once the cap is unscrewed. Mine is super tight, but it works like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqSleaiCpd1prck. Maybe someone in the chat has done it and can describe more? What model do you have?

@billc6087Ай бұрын
I'm having this same problem, so I'm very glad I found your video! I'm adding one brief note - when reassembling the motor housing I checked the gasket for any impurities and then added a small layer of silicone grease. I bought this tube of pool-grade silicone grease for my pool filter when I replaced the cartridges and o-ring a couple of years ago and it's proven useful on many other occasions.

Hopefully you are still checking comments... So my S300 will go forward as it should. Climbs the wall no problem and creeps along the tile line while bumping up against the coping. But then when it decides to go in reverse, it will do so for only a few seconds and then stops moving. Gravity will make it sink to the bottom of the base of the wall and after about 30 seconds it will resume going forward again. As a result, it's constantly climbing walls, but never finding the floors where all the filth is. Also take note that when it is just sitting for those 30 seconds immobile, it is still blowing a lot of water out the discharge vent as I can see all the turbulence in the water. So this makes me assume my impeller is working. Regardless, your video is very helpful in informing how to take the guts apart and possibly looks for clues. I am going to try it tonight. So thank you for that. But in the meantime, any suggestions as to what is causing what I am describing?
@LeisureLuke2 ай бұрын
Hey Mike, any luck? Not sure what it could be. If your drive motor or drive belts are getting stuck only in reverse, that’s pretty unusual. Maybe someone else here will have a better idea.
@DieselMike2 ай бұрын
@@LeisureLuke Unfortunately no. I dug into it and impeller was clean as could be and spinning freely. Then I opened up the sealed box to look for any visible issues, like water inside or burnt out circuit boards. Again, all good there. I removed the belts from the wheels, all the teeth were good and catching the sprockets. So I buttoned everything back up, dropped it in the water and same thing. But then I did another test that may provide a clue (sorry this is so long): I held the robot by the handle suspended under water (so there would be no friction on the wheels) and turned it on. The drive went in forward, then after a while stopped (as it is supposed to) and started going in reverse (as it should during it's cycle). It STAYED going in reverse for some time! When it cycled again (forward and then reverse), I then let go of the robot to allow it to sink to the floor. As soon as it made contact with the floor, the reverse stopped (while still blasting plenty of discharge out the impeller port). Eventually, it started going forward again on the floor and back up the wall. So it appears that if there is any friction on the wheels (belts), the motor doesn't have enough power to move it. But ONLY in reverse?!!! This makes no sense to me. So I am wondering if I can replace or repair the drive motor in a similar fashion that you repaired the impeller motor? I would hate to spend over $400 to replace the whole guts when possibly one small component may be bad. Any further thoughts? I submitted an online request to Maytronics explaining all this. Have not gotten a response yet.

Clearly not a Texan. Out in the snow in a t shirt. We put on our parkas when the temp dips below 70º! Excellent info, you can also repair your pool pump and booster pump motors by changing the bearings. It's easy, there's tons of videos here and its WAY cheaper than buying a new motor. Here's another tip. When taking apart a motor, BEFORE you remove the through bolts, Put a hash mark or index mark across the case and the end caps. Now, when you reassemble the motor, you line up the hash marks and the through bolts will go through the case and right in to the threaded bosses.

I just wanted to say thank you Luke for designing this. This is genuinely the coolest thing I have ever printed and I have printed so much stuff. I made one for myself and bought some filaments to get some decent colour variation and then also made one for a friends birthday and its fantastic. I absolutely love puzzle boxes but they are so incredibly expensive sometimes, being able to 3d print this makes it so accessible. I was curious, what software did you use to design the parts? Because i would love to be able to design something even a quarter as cool in the next few years. Thanks heaps, looking very forward to your future designs.
