o-cedar spin mop (easy fix)

[@sablecrow737]

This has saved me twice over three years so I’ve saved $80 in buckets and more importantly avoided the plastic waste. Thank you!!

[@ItsMeCarlos]

Thank you for this. I’ve been having issues with mine and was about to just throw it out and buy a new one. Just ordered the part from Amazon.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

@@ItsMeCarlos they want you to throw it out and get a new one, everything is built to break

[@ItsMeCarlos]

@@GetToThePointplz123 yep it’s clear that’s what they want. I should have the replacement piece from Amazon tomorrow, so that I can attempt to fix it.

[@rosewood513]

Thanks so much for this video. After my O Cedar broke I bought another kind for $100.00. It is a piece of junk, at least the 6 mop heads for new one does fit my old one.. I am so happy to be able to come to You Tube to learn almost everything. I am thrilled.

[@GRANDMASTER3D]

A few notes. I was able to get the screws out of the support bar with linemans plyers. Something skinnier might be better but they were handy. It was annoying but only for 10 minutes or so. Lubed mine with white lithium and got it moving but still sticky. Great vid thank you very much!

[@karencox3235]

I took mine apart and determined that it was that little part. I KNEW if I came on YT and searched, someone would link me to the part that I need. BUT, I didn't order the one linked... I found a four pack for $8 with good reviews. Pretty sure they will fit just fine. I have two of these of my own, and also the retreat center that I do work for has like 20 of them. Now I've got backup for when they break. ;)

[@elizabethjorgensen3191]

What’s the part called and where did you buy it? Can you send me the link?

[@richardbrunelle7517]

Liked this repair vid. Right to the point. lol And replacing that cross piece was spot on.

[@texasstadium]

Another repair complete ... with your help. I am sure it will be temporary. On my wife's unit, the plastic gear that fits on the basket shaft worked its way out of two pseudo-clips that hold the gear in place with the main gear. This is the cinchiest setup as could be imagined considering the job it is supposed to accomplish. I told my wife to take it easy on this POS and maybe it will work for a while. Replace the whole unit? I'd rather buy thirty lotto tickets than waste more money on a thing like this. And I really don't want to make a hobby of working on this every week.

@@texasstadium I agree totally

[@darlapantaleone3470]

Thanks for the video. I almost ordered the part but decided to try greasing it and it now works great.

[@MarkBonneaux]

Dude thank you, I took the pedal mechanism off no prob but didn't realize the bearing wasn't just a heavy duty bolt of sorts to keep the upper gear on until i found this.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Nice

[@catherinebush3073]

Thank you! I like the mop but I’ve “broken” one every year for a few years and was about to give up on them.

[@dncprncss]

It was a pain to get the old ball bearing part but once I did it smooth sailing. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@jenborkey90]

I literally used mine ONCE before it broke. Idea: companies actually make lasting products instead of screwing their customers out of more money!

[@ThePokeBellz]

Exactly why I'm on this video! Used it once and didn't even finish mopping half of the room before it barely spun anymore

Hi do you know where i can find the little plastic that the white bearing case sits on top on? The one at 1:12

[@GetToThePointplz123]

@@Sixcteen not really, I would try to Google "ocedar gear parts" or something along that line

I just bought mine and it’s doing this the second time using it and middle of it actually spinned right then didn’t 😀

[@bmendez69]

Thank you so much! Just fixed two buckets

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Awesome

[@TheScottEF]

Good video but big omission: It's important to insert the bearing so that eventually it is writing-side ("HF081412") up. If you put the bearing in upside-down, which he doesn't explain, you're screwed. BTW, many products use this otherwise useful bearing, except that it appears to be made only in the PRC out of easily-rustable steel. When you're done with the bucket, leave it right-side up, so water doesn't drip from below into the bearing. Also, store it, if at all possible, somewhere dry. If you do that, it will last for many years.

[@UBrickIFix]

This is so great. Thank you!

[@ItsMeCarlos]

I got the gear and took the bucket apart but noticed I don’t have screws that hold that bracket. Where the screws are it looks like it’s ceded by some plastic or metal, not sure. Any ideas?

[@GetToThePointplz123]

@@ItsMeCarlos not without looking at it?

[@Shadow-pn3sp]

I got this, put it in, it still doesnt spin enough to get excess water off the mop. Im open to suggestions.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Idk sorry

[@andrewsalazar98]

My bearings are fine, but the retaining plastic piece for the pin with the spring wrapped around it broke off. I pretty much need to replace the whole base.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

@@andrewsalazar98 ugh, always something right

[@cck6740]

I just repaired mine. My plastic connector also broke but i glued it back with gorilla glue and UV resin. If it doesn't hold up I'll fabricate one with my 3D printer (I'm a crafter and gamer so i have these on hand)

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Sweet

[@barbsbichons]

don't believe this mop gets such good reviews, worst money i have ever spent on a mop.

[@rosewood513]

I agree but I bought a newer one and spent more money and it was worse. I am going to try fixing it.

[@ashleygreen127]

I'm kinda annoyed I am even having to look into this issue after only having mine for about 3 months (the $50 one with the separate clean water reservoir)

Thank you. If I repair it she will buy beer, thanks to you I am drunk now 😂

[@fleetwin1]

I have the same issue, and figured there must be a one way bearing somewhere. I can't get the shaft out either, the shaft must have seized to the one way bearing.

[@MarkBonneaux]

Trying to fix the one we borrowed from my MiL currently... Did you ever figure out a way to get it off?

[@fleetwin1]

@@MarkBonneaux I had to break the plastic bracket in order to get it off. I wrote to Ocedar, they sent me a $30 coupon for a new unit. The newer units had a different design making it easier to get the bearing off if necessary. I will oil it ever few uses so this doesn't happen again...

[@julianapatrick7451]

I think that's just BS that you have to go through all this trouble for a mop bucket that doesn't even squeeze out the whole water properly JUNK in my opinion!

Sometimes you also need to replace the metal axle. To remove it from the rotary basket, it is best to heat it up with a heat gun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paPShoGtjsilfsk
