Dolphin Nautilus Plus Pool Cleaner Impeller Motor Repair from Fully Torn Down to Reassembled. $0 Fix

Like others, my impeller motor stopped working & wasn’t just clogged with hair. A wire in the brushes circuit board wasn’t soldered good, came lose, and required re-soldering.
Video starts with everything torn down and rebuild from there.
I forgot to include reassembling the too housing, but it’s just 4 screws and snaps back together with the side housing pieces pretty easily. Just take your time.
I lucked out, no bad parts but hopefully the vid helps someone. It is very in-depth in hopes it helps keep someone from having to disassemble the motor 3+ times like I had to. It also has some basic electronic troubleshooting steps in the vid.
The entire housing is $300 on Amazon or just the motor alone on Ebay is $80+. So having repaired it for $0 I feel pretty good. As I type this, the vaccum is still working away on the pool so I’d say that’s a successful repair!

Hello and thank you. I wanted you to know you are still helping us people that fix things instead of spending $900 is are very grateful. I have not gotten the motor out yet (trying to figure out how the black rectangular box opens but I will get there. Have a great day!! Edit: just astonishingly grateful for a person like you that knows how valuable a simple video can be. You are direct and to the needed points. Edit: again lol, I see near the end you cover the disassembly issues. I was so happy I wrote before I completed you video.

Before you take a motor apart, make a hashmark across the two end caps and the body casing. This will get your endcaps lined up so that the through bolts will go right through to their threaded bosses.

Great video. What was the failure mode that necessitated this repair? Mine will run for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or so, then shut off. The drive system seems to work and the impeller will initially turn on. It's 4 years old and don't know if I want to tear down like you did or replace the whole unit. There are no obstructions at the impeller or drive system.

...si je peux encore vous poser une question.... Il y avait de l'eau dans le bloc moteur lorsque je l'ai ouvert. J'ai tout nettoyer ainsi j'ai également ouvert chaque moteurs. Et ils fonctionnent quand je les branche sur une prise separemment. Lorsque je débranche les moteurs de traction (pas celui du ventilateur...) Ça se met en marche puis ça s'arrête mais il y a du courant dans les bornes du moteur. Par contre que je rebranche les moteurs rien ne se met en marche et il n'y a même pas de courant.... Merci de votre aide...

Hi, Do you know how to replace the seal? Thanks,

[@gregorioavalos1256]

That is probably just silicone grease
