Thank you very much! You saved us a lot of money. My husband already ordered a new robot, and then I found your video. He canceled the order and bought a sensor instead. My son followed your instructions, and it worked 😅

[@Ticonderoga12]

This kid looks like a genius in the making

[@mimimari4426]

You’re very good. Always excellent and informative video, your family must be very proud!

[@sarahtoscana8232]

I didn’t even have to go thru the whole process, just watching the beginning helped me so thank you!!!! Grateful for this video ❤

[@scottlarson1548]

This is one thing that was much easier to figure out with the older Litter Robots. They had a simple mechanical switch that made a click sound whenever it was activated. Adjusting it was just a matter of adjusting a spring. After a few years the spring would wear out but it was easy to replace.

[@reginaevans2139]

Wow. Thanks very much! I went through 5 different videos before I came to yours. Your advice allowed me to fix the unit. I really appreciate your help

[@johnmorgenthaler3611]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this subject and congratulations on all your other achievements since then .You will have great Success in college and beyond,good luck!

[@washangel]

I’m so incredibly grateful for this and many other videos that have helped me. This video is explained so well and the guys English is brilliant. Ive spent many hours trying to fix this fault on my litter robot including watching many from the manufacturers. This guy explains it so well and I thank you. I’m sure you will go far in life my friend. You are a star. 😊

[@SmartForTwoElectricForSale]

Thank you! The instructions didn't say empty waste if the reset didn't work. Your video helped me out! Emptied the tray and there was no issue. Thanks again!

[@EyeOnAiman]

I'm happy to have been helpful to you!

[@evisceratemtg6141]

Camera person on point 🔥

[@codymorton9286]

Awesome video, thank you. I’ve been manually scooping mine for about a month and the jumper trick worked instantly!

[@EyeOnAiman]

I'm glad the video helped you. Thanks for watching..

[@jeremywarren7897]

Thanks, exactly what I needed to fix my Robo-Litter! The Cat-Sensor had become disconnected.

[@alexfallah7]

Amazing video. The trouble shooting guides and forums just weren’t helpful. My problem is that the circuit was a bit rusty. Cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and it did the trick!

[@EyeOnAiman]

I'm glad the video helped you and thanks for adding the comment to help others who came here looking to fix their unit.

[@shalaxy1252]

Ty going to go revisit mine now. I got frustrated with it and threw it out in the garage😂

[@vickicee6815]

"one mm from the bolt" does that mean protruding from the nut? Or "sunken in"

[@giovannirestrepo7385]

Awesome thanks for the In-service o the cat sensor replacement. I’m changing mine the video was helpful.

[@airbjerk8413]

Hi great video. It helped me fix this same issue with my LR 3. Quick question: i didn't understand how thight the bolt should be. I got the screw flush with the bolt inside. Is that right? The LR 3 works fine but just want to make sure it's installed correct Thanks

[@hoshinakak.6318]

Perfect Thanks 😊

[@mitchvass4498]

Very good demonstration thanks.

[@mustachesamurai]

Jump wires will also work for the jumping. Cheap and useful if you ever do any sort of electronics work.

[@hbgrossman]

Yes, one female to female wire does the trick.

[@astund1]

Awesome video dude

[@EyeOnAiman]

Thanks! I appreciate it...

[@alexpantoja2042]

Thanks young man. I e Jenn having issues w mine. I got to clean my contacts

[@glashoppah]

Great video, thanks!

[@EyeOnAiman]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching...

[@TeresaSimon-i4z]

Where do I order that little part from??😃

[@zaidahyunos4646]

Hi! Mine is having flashing BLUE light. I did clean the globe, replace the anti-pinch metal, did the hard reset as well. I’m already out of options. Do you have any suggestion of what i should do?

[@EyeOnAiman]

Sorry for the late reply, school has been really busy for me. I'm sorry you're still having trouble with your unit, but let's not give up and try the following: The following troubleshooting should resolve the blue light blinking while the waste drawer is empty. Once resolved, the unit should consistently recognize when your cat visits and cycle accordingly. To troubleshoot the blue blinking, let’s start by power cycling your unit: 1.) Leave your unit powered ON with the blue blinking light engaged & Unplug your power supply from the base 2.) Wait 10 seconds then plug the unit back in 3.) Allow the unit to complete a start‐up cycle. If the light is solid blue, the code has been successfully cleared. If the light is still blinking, let’s proceed with troubleshooting. Let’s empty the drawer if it has waste and reinstall the bag before proceeding. Note: If you are using a dark colored bag, always tuck it into the tabs. Let’s check your DFI Lenses for any obstructions: Turn off the unit and Unplug the power from the base Remove the Bonnet and the Globe Inspect the top of the Base where the Globe usually rests. Are there any debris? Small amounts of litter is normal. Clean as needed. Inside the waste opening there are two clear ““Lenses”” (left and right side). Ensure there are no debris on the Lenses. Sometimes litter can fall/splash onto them. ** To clean the lenses, we recommend wiping them off with a soft damp cloth and/or glass cleaner. Do not directly spray the Base or DFI Lenses. ** Replace the Globe and Bonnet. Reset the black key in the back of the unit into the pocket. 6. Plug the unit back in. If you turned the power off, you will need to power it on and press ““cycle””. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the unit should be at the Home position with a Solid Blue LED on. Further Troubleshooting: If the unit continues blinking blue, remove the waste drawer and press cycle. Press reset 2x to abort the cycle and return the unit to home (it will level the litter). If the unit goes to solid blue with the waste drawer removed, ensure there is nothing in the drawer blocking the lenses. If the drawer is clear, your base needs to be repaired ‐ let us know that you tried the full troubleshooting without results. If it still doesn’t work, you will have to contact your reseller.

Todo en inglés y los españoles que vendéis los robots a España nada en español . 👎

[@enmodo]

Thank you, invaluable trouble shooting tip with jumping the connector to verify the sensor is dud. Seems like a really poor design that's bound to fail and for something so prone to fail a *real* PITA to replace. Next time I would suggest they use frickin' laser beams to detect a cat in there.

[@trinicrisostomo6961]

Help!!! Please got all brand new replacement parts, motor, Sensor DFI, Metal clips and cleaned everything changed out everything still no motor movement light blinks yellow still any solutions?

[@warmbloodydew]

Aiman, my LR3 shows solid yellow right. I tried everything but it won't rotate. It would be blink blue light when I turn it on and then after the reset,it will be solid yellow light. I'm gonna order online parts to change but not sure which one that has to replace.

[@Miketyler1015]

Hey, I've been watching your videos but haven't seen my issue. It flashes blue once a second then when I press cycle it flashes yellow really fast like two times a second, any ideas?

[@melissadunn3831]

Hey Mike! Did your issue get resolved? I am having the exact same problem with mine and I can not figure it out!!

[@EyeOnAiman]

Hiya, check out the manual and see if it helps you! www.litter-robot.com/manual_pdf/Litter-Robot_III-Manual-Revision_C.pdf

[@309GamingVids]

Could you help me with to replace a burnt-out blue display lighy?

[@JohnSmith-cd2er]

What did you use to make the jumper?

[@EyeOnAiman]

Any insulated wires with thin strands (i.e. old radio or computer or any wires laying around) should work, thanks

[@demensc2548]

Ty

[@EyeOnAiman]

Np!

[@matt_greene]

yay thank you!!

[@42Librarians]

How am I supposed to measure 1mm in that position (mine is black)?

[@Moe395]

Nice

[@willlindsay6753]

Mines 5 years old never clean it just empty it out and works perfect. Amazing quality to last so long I wasted 100$ on exteny3 years warranty lol…

[@stbam1965]

What if all 3 lights are flashing. ,when the drawer sensor is clean. Its completely empty, the pinch point is clean and touching.

[@sojetsetgirl]

I can’t dissconect the sensor

[@squirrel8161]

Flashing between red AND yellow. Any advice guys? Help 😿

[@EyeOnAiman]

www.litter-robot.com/manual_pdf/Litter-Robot_III-Manual-Revision_C.pdf The manual says the following: Yellow -> Red Lights Flashing Sequentially: Motor detects obstruction or jam. Turn unit off and remove Bonnet and Globe. Check for gear/motor obstruction. Reassemble unit and verify proper litter level. Power on and let cycle. If problem persists, contact Customer Service. Let me know if that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@mikehartman6961]

That cinches it. I will never spend $500 on that thing.

[@mustachesamurai]

I've got one and the hours it's saved me (even including troubleshooting and repairs) multiplied by my per hour pay means compared to its price it's been well worth it for me.

[@YoungHan-p5b]

Great video. Thank you!
