Is your $700 cat box a pile of crap? In more ways than it should be? I think that I finally found a fix for mine! Stay tuned!

I had the SAME problem with it stopping mid cycle, light turning red. They told me they were sending out an update to fix the bug to all LR4 that are online. Unfortunately I also had another glitch where it was no longer connected to the Internet. I think I deleted it from the app and wanted to add it back, which it wouldn't let me do. They sent me a new base. It's been working great ever since. It is a great robot when it works properly but yes it has some bugs they are trying to work out. Unfortunately those who purchased it as soon as it came out will experience wait times as they were overwhelmed. My advice: I just emailed them relentlessly and also posted on their social media relentlessly and they DID get back to me. Honestly, once customer service finally got back to me, they were excellent in fixing the problem. It IS awesome, WHEN it works.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet --- we had the same issues, tried every fix to no avail, and finally found out the grey bristles lining the entry were catching hair from our longhaired cat, which was tripping the sensor on every cycle! We ended up having to remove the stray hairs from time to time, and I'm currently trying to figure out how to remove the bristles/trim altogether to hopefully eliminate the issue. Edit: they are called "base seal strips" and they are indeed removable/replaceable!!

if it's similar to the LR3 you can just disable that sensor by stripping the wires and completing the circuit.

So I just came home to find my LR4 stuck cause my cat likes to watch her litter fall in the bin. Luckily my cat led me to the LR4 while crying for help so I saw what was wrong. I then stumbled upon your video. Yes my issue turned out to be some of her tiny strands of hair getting into the light sensors which made it think she was still there. I just put clear tape over those holes and the beam of light isn’t being hindered so time will tell if this prevents any future issues. Hopefully the makers of the litter robot are learning on how to improve the device for a 5th version from all the complaints they’ve gotten.

LR3 has these issues too, like it would stop mid cycle, blinking orange light etc. Mine has such issues every few months, but once you know how to troubleshoot these issues, they are not that big of a deal and overall a great machine. 5 years satisfied owner of LR3. P/S : I know it is overwhelming and frustrating when you experience problems and issues with the LR as a new owner, but once you know how to troubleshoot these issues, you will realize this is part and parcel of having an automatic electric devices, they do have issues once in a while. Read more from LR blogs to counter these issues, good luck to all new LR owners. My LR works great with no issues but once in a while, every few months it will be stuck, means it has an issue or needs certain parts replacement. If you go on a holiday and afraid LR will be stucked while you are away, make sure to have another place/box on standby for your cats to relieve itself, in case the LR malfunctions.

So, I experienced this same issue! I followed this and the issue kept happening. My final fix was that I found one of the 4 pressure / weight sensors on the bottom was stuck suppressed. I removed the sensor but unscrewing the two phillips screws, then the sensor came loose, I then tapped dirt / debris out of the pressure sensor and reinstalled it. This resolved the issue when done in conjunction with cleaning the sensors. This also explains why my litter robot was mostly getting stuck while rotating half way. I'm betting the weight was shifting and causing the problem sensor to act up.

Our LR3 is great had it for years and no problems. We’ve had the 4 since last august and for the last 4 months it hasn’t worked at all. It finally got where it stays solid red and won’t do anything. We unplugged it and now it’s just a kitty box we have to scoop. Have contacted support so I hope they come thru otherwise it’s a waste of $700. We are three months before our warranty plays out so I hope since I notified them before that time we can still be able to use our warranty.😢 Just want it to work properly for the amount of money we invested. They should stand behind their product.

I have light colors flashing that are not noted anywhere online, nor in the manual. It stops running 20+ times a day and the app sends me messages every 30 minutes that the drawer is full, when it is, in fact, empty. Just now, all of the fresh litter was dumped into the waste drawer, I don't even know how that happened! I attempted to submit a ticket through the troubleshooter, but the highlighted button to create a ticket doesn't go anywhere. Nowhere. At all. I have never in my life been as frustrated with a machine as I am with the LR4. Whisker having the nerve to run ads during your video is hilarious! SERIOUSLY if anyone out there reading this is still considering buying one, do yourself a favor and just don't do it. Whisker failed big with this one. UPDATE: 24 hours after leaving this comment and sending an email I received an email response from a "social media specialist" who apologized for my issues and stated they would be sending me a new one. Fingers crossed!

I kinda had this problem but it then went to a fault and totally stopped and I had to chat with customer support. They had me try additional fixes but none worked sooooo, they're sending a new motor that I need to install. This is gonna be "fun" because I'm a 77 yr old grandma. Luckily, I am also willing to try things...not happy about it though because now I am without the robot so I'm back to one of my other boxes which helped me to realize that, regardless of any problems, it's better than fiddling with another motorized POS. Wish me luck because I'm not convinced that the motor is the problem.

I've been using them for 6 months and have 3 now. I have had several issues similar to this but I never had the buttons stop working. I have had it stop in the same spot; the first time, it seemed the entry sensors calibration was off, so it kept tripping. Whisker did a remote calibration for me and fixed it. The second one was a different machine, and it was because it was slightly rocking as it was across two floorboards, and I fixed that by moving it. There's no way the settings cause an issue; you have a sensor calibration issue, which is what it looks like. Have you contacted Whisker about this?

I did reach out to them. Their solution was to send me a new unit and mail back the old one. However, the old one has been working since I reset it so I'm going to hang on to it. You are probably right though that it was a sensor calibration issue, assuming that a master reset would also restore those to factory settings. Either way, it's still chugging along for now!

After taking off the globe I noticed that one of the foam alignment pads between the globe and the unit was missing causing the other pads to also come off. This was causing the unit to get stuck. I'm quite disappointed in the engineering quality since this unit is less than a year old but at least it seems like an easy fix. I've filed a ticket for replacement pads. Just adding this on as another potential issue.

I have similar issues but not quite as bad as yours eventually mine did move back to the home position. But sometimes it will get stuck mid cycle like you. Very annoying to have to manually intervene all the time. Today they sent me a new base unit with all the sensors.....I'm going to replace that and see if it makes a difference. Funny enough for the last week it has been much better, not really sure why. I did have to readd the unit to the app because I think they pushed out some new firmware. Its disappointing that its had so many issues. Perhaps they released this when it was not ready for primetime. I also purchased their warranty so if it never gets to the point where it needs to be I can get a refund I believe or at worst get a whole new unit when they finally figure it out.

My red light goes off all the time and I have never once had to take the globe out to fix it. I have 2 different methods to fix it and none of them include removing the globe. The first one is to 1. Simply take the palm of your hand and wipe side to side across the sensors a couple times. Then hit the reset button. And the sencond is to 2. Take a paper towl, get a piece of it wet, then squeeze out any excess water and then wipe the damp paper towl over the sensors. Then take a dry paper towl and wipe the sensors again. Then hit the reset button. Basically there is either a piece of hair or dust particle that is triggering the sensor.

Agree with you about it being an $700 crap. For people who don't travel a lot and need to leave the cat home, just do the traditional thing. It does not worth the $$$ :(

My issue has recently has been the movement in the drawer. I realized there is a censor in the drawer but this thing is way to sensitive. Obviously there is nothing moving in the drawer.

Thanks for the video but I cant get the solid red to go away. I put the base manually back to the normal position and then it tries to run the cycle and goes red again. I can't get the blue light to appear to even do a manual reset! Any advice?

What if I can't reset? Tried holding both buttons for 10 seconds and tried the normal wifi onboarding technique but nothing works. It won't clean the litter unless I restart it. I am going on vacation soon so need this thing to be working again with my phone. It's gone from my app as well. 😢

Yeah I can't get any buttons to work. Wont turn off and wont show anything but a red light. Even if I just unplug it. Custmer service has been unhelpful so far. This is the after having it replaced once.

Lolololol I wish that was the case. Although the LR4 has gotten much better with recent firmware updates, I stand by these earlier videos 100%. Read a few comments other people have made. I'm not alone in my views.

I love love my Litter Robot 4!! Had it since early January, NO issues!! I strongly tell people to get one. You every notice that the only time someone writes something it is always to complain. People who love it do not need to write complains...

@dontburnthehousedownvideos Жыл бұрын
That's simply not true. Go back and watch my first video on the LR4. I wanted nothing more than to love it. Unfortunately when 4 of them don't work (or arrive broken) it's tough to write a love letter to them.

Their customer service hasn’t been helpful. I still can’t get my cats weight to read on my app. I have two cats and want to keep track. It stays at zero and has been there since I purchased it several months back.

Computers are supposed to make our lives better. But, a computer in a litter box? Add both of those together and you have a S_it Show. Thanks much for posting this VBLOG. I'm sure it'll come in handy and help prevent me from throwing the equivalent of a videotape player off of the roof; except instead of a videotape player, it would possibly be the Liter Robot 4. BTW - I was on hold with Whisker Customer Support for so long, I grew a beard and decided to shave while I was on "eternal hold" waiting for their customer service rep to answer my questions. You are SPOT ON about waiting for days to get customer support. You'd think with 70% of Litter Robot owners NOT living in the eastern time zone that Whisker would have customer support service hours from 8 AM to 8 PM (PST). Thanks again for posting this video!
