Roborock S50 S51 take apart fan replacement

[@clarkwbird]

Thanks for this! One note, you skipped replacing the front bumper assembly during reassembly, so for those brainless like me who were just watching and following along exactly I missed putting it back on when you did.

[@CurrentCrave]

yup me 2. Just unscrew battery cover and its easily put back together :-)

[@wrbbbb]

I had "fan error" on my five year old S50. This video helped me understand how to access the fan, which I removed and cleaned with compressed air. I cleaned the wheel assemblies and other internals with compressed air, reinstalled everything, and with replacement brushes and filter it's practically good as new. Hope I will get another five years out of it.

[@nefarious09]

Thanks. The original fan smelt like it was burning. One thing for anyone coming to this video to note is that on the rebuilding phase be sure to put the bumper on before the bottom plate! It's skipped in this video

[@deniskdenisk1985]

This also works for Roborock S6. As someone has mentioned, you don't need to remove 3 wheels to get to the fan. Removing the top lid at 0:07 is actually a huge pain, it has 7 pins which are very hard to remove from the sockets.

[@andrewsobey2873]

rew Sobey Great video. Our robotics lives to clean for another day! 1 bit of feedback - You just missed 1 step on reassembly. Don’t forget to put the bumper back!

[@patrickweiss82]

Thank you helped me alot doing a full cleanup! I really like the modular system, wish every product would be like this!

[@orlandogardiner3468]

Thank you, this was very helpful ! (you forgot to show the reassembly of the bumper before the Wheels get put back in, not complaining just FYI)

I was just about to write that. Anyways, this tutorial is just AGAP! Love it! ❤️

[@kormak88]

I tried all the steps with a brand new motor fan and it worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!

[@HenriqueWeiand]

I watched the video and I was able to replace the fan myself, I am so proud! Thank you for the video!! Just one detail, I believe that you forgot to record the moment that you put the front shield back.

[@ceesspijkers299]

Thank you. It helped me a lot repairing my Roborock S5. Greetings from France.

[@rusyarr]

Thank you very much! You helped me a lot. Official repair store in Germany asked 150 EUR for this work!

[@eduardobello1937]

Thank you so much! I was able to solve my error 10 by just disassembling and cleaning the intern filter. Greetings from Brazil!

[@rafamicheleti]

Eduardo, o meu sempre fiz "Filter is block, clean de filter", mas o filtro esta sempre vazio e novo, esse filtro interno fica onde? É essa parte preta no vídeo que tem q soltar o chicote de fios?

[@eduardobello1937]

@@rafamicheleti Sim... eu vi primeiro neste video aqui (o modelo é diferente, mas é praticamente a mesma coisa)... Dá uma olhada na "espuminha" que o cara limpa... Depois que limpei, nunca mais tive esse problema! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl67nIOZZcp2j6s

[@tye595]

i love how roborock made almost all wear and tear items are plug and play.

[@homea1028]

Awesome, Thank you very much. Please add some music or some voice. This was very helpful, and it clearly shows step by step guide to replace the fan. Caution - just before fixing the back cover make sure to fix the front bumper. That is the only step he missed in this video.

[@rociogarciasegovia3018]

Gracias a ti he cambiado yo misma el ventilador y no me ha sobrado ni un tornillo ,gracias me has servido de mucha ayuda

[@goodlife7409]

1000 thanks 👍 greetings from germany

[@MetrologyEngineer]

This is the kind of video I look for first before even considering another robot vacuum. The last one I shelled out a ton of money for had the wheels wear out since my vacuum loved to do burnouts on my rug. It also would stay charged for 10 feet and then decide it wasn't feeling it that day and go back to charge. In my mind these vacuums end up becoming a very expensive throw away item if there isn't any replacement parts available.

[@loswolfos6649]

Thansk for uploading the video. It helped me a lot. :) Greetings from Germany.

[@stevedrawdy2532]

Thank you! Swapped out the fan motor in no time thanks to this video!

[@sandraortiz7863]

Muchísimas gracias, he podido limpiar el ventilador interno y ahora mi robot está como nueva 😍❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@meteorait]

Thanks for the video. It's a pit, at 7:13 the assembly for a element on the front is missing. Tanks anyway, it was very useful.

[@ρικρυκρακ]

Noticed this too while assembling. good thing its a HUGE piece of plastic that can basically be mounted at any other step.

[@sebastiansimon9737]

Yea, put it back at the very end. No problem

[@braddeicide]

That was fun, and I only had 1 extra screw left at the end, lol. I had a big chunk of dirt blocking the fan.

[@danijel124]

I also missed one screw loolz ;)

[@guilhermecoelho3217]

Also had 1 extra screw ahahah I guess it is not necessary, lol

[@Eric10301]

I noticed doing this that the bottom of the fan has a fine metal screen, not shown in this video, and mine was 50% clogged with fine dust/hair. This is where the fan pulls the air in, through the little wind tunnel (the part with the black circle around it), leading to the dust bin filter. The black foam piece leading out of the vacuum is the exit. If you are cleaning your vacuum, those two areas are very important.

[@brusom]

Clear video. Fan succesfully replaced. Thanks for sharing

[@Skans-Gustav]

Love that Chinese products can be disassembled like this.

[@krister7397]

Yes it does, my fan was broken after 6months. Part from that its a very good cleaner.

[@ChicagoBob123]

Thank you the dirt over the years gets thorough

[@sebastiansimon9737]

Thank you. I replaced the fan motor with your instructions

[@olga3146]

Muchas gracias por el video. Me ha servido de mucha ayuda para poder limpiar el filtro interno de mi roborock. No paraba de avisarme con ERROR 10, y lo que había que limpiar era el filtro interior que hay en la pieza que cambian en el video. Sin embargo, hay que tener cuidado en el montaje final porque en el video no aparece la colocación de una de las carcasas exteriores. Yo he utilizado este mismo video, viendo el despiece al revés.

[@genkal]

thanks a lot and greetings from Italy.

[@AndreasSohns]

Thank you it worked 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ArthurKPoulsen]

Thank you, i had error 18 - fan error, i took the S5 apart like the video ahowed, cleanen the fan now it works again

[@oscargren666]

This video helpt me repair our roborock s4 , it works the same if anyone wonders. Thanks !

[@allen7563]

It is unbelievable to me that Roborock put a 'filter' as the last stage of the exit airflow with no easy means to clean or replace that filter. It is a sponge-like thing and when it gets clogged (as it will) the sensor triggers and tells you "Filter is Clogged." So you replace the main filter and still get that message. :-( On my S6, it's even worse: there is an additional screen with very, very fine holes. I was able to rip that out using a nail file and I haven't got the 'Filter is Clogged" messages since then. You can also try vacuuming the output. Put your hand by the output when it runs and you'll see how restricted the outflow is. Imagine how that decreases the vacuuming power. Why it is there--I assume--is to decrease noise. It strikes me as lazy engineering to give it a low DB rating. It should have been a baffle-type muffler--less restrictive such as on an automobile. I think I also poked holes in, or dislodged the sponge material behind that fine screen. Yes, my S6 is louder without it but not so you can't hold a normal conversation in the same room. Think about it: why block the output? Why, if you do want a screen there, not give the user a (reasonable!) way to clean or replace it? Thank you for your video.

[@danijel124]

I believe its there so that the roborock has hepa standard. For hepa standard you need an active charcoal filter

[@Woot-Zee]

Amazing product... very well thought! Unlike many others... :)

[@ρικρυκρακ]

Replaced easily watching this video. Thanks!

[@fransiefransmr]

After a few months with the new fan a resonating sound occurred. The sound disappeared when pushing on the top back near the fan. Disassembling the Roborock to the fan I didn't found any loose screws. I taped the cables from the fan to the body. After this no more resonating sounds.

[@mikoajswider856]

I seem have a similar issue. Like something hitting inside. Do you have some pictures of your modification?

[@fransiefransmr]

@@mikoajswider856 I don't have any pictures. I disassembled to see the fan en taped the fan cable to the body.

[@mikoajswider856]

Thx man. I have Xiaomi Robot Vacum Cleaner 1s and it give me ERROR 10. I clean everything and blow up the vent and the problem continue. Then i follow upt your tutorial and i realize that the bottom side of the fan motor have a huge amount of dust. Its fixed now, no need to replace in my case.

Hello where can I get a replacement fan?

[@aliniventa]

Is there a humidity/liquids sensor underneath the fan assembly? Error 18 - fan malfunction happened to me and the repair center won't repair the robot because of this sensor. Thank you!

[@jarrodjob]

Yes, it’s a white sticker that turns to red.

[@Roofies89]

Fantastic video :)

Hii..do you know where i can get or buy that part (fan) in indonesia?

Good night, I bought a s50 roborock. But I press the button to call. But please don't link with your experience. Can I tell if you are in trouble?

[@Staremperor]

Thank you so much. Otherwise i would be lost

[@instructu2]

I bought mine in Dec. 2019. It is now April 2020 and I am getting the error 10 continuously after putting in another filter. Should the fan be bad after close to 100 uses?

[@lepaul26]

Dont you have 2 or 3 years warrenty? Just return it

[@rusyarr]

@@lepaul26 Depends on the country, I believe. In Germany there is only 1 year warranty from Xiaomi for this unit. 2 year Gewährleistung did not cover the case of fan. (bough in Cyberport).

[@wizard-of-other-oz]

Why have you removed the wheels? There are no screws holding the upper cover. Just for kicks? Is it really necessary to dismount the lidar to replace the fan? PS. Lidar needs to be removed, wheels do not

[@dvlcube]

There's an unremovable pin preventing the top part from being detached so I can access the motherboard. Does anyone know how to deal with this?

[@habibielhabibi2272]

Perfect!

[@patriciusnajvyssi]

I´m curious whitch part to replace in my roborock...it´s that plastic smell from the vent where the fan is located. Couldn´t this be main brush motor too? Cause I heard something cracking inside when it happened (dunno if physically or electric only). Thanks

[@fransiefransmr]

The plastic smell from my Roborock was only from the fan. When I replaced this the smell/noise was away.

[@patriciusnajvyssi]

@@fransiefransmr thanks....mine is still working tho, but the smell is aparent especially at higher speed....so I will replace the fan and see

I need help and RoboRock customer service is terrible. I couldn't remember my password and contacted the manufacturer. I was told it was my SIMS card and was told it should be removed and put back in. I asked how and was told I couldn't do it myself. I had to send it back to thsm at my expense. They couldn't give me a time frame. I have this device because I am disabled. Do you know what I can do to fix this problem? I need to use the remote but am not sure what to do. Thank you!

You have to take the whole bottom off.

Jesus Christ... I basically have to disassemble the whole thing to get to the fan motor! Why don't they design an access cover and just to reach that? All other parts are relatively easier to access!

Bad engineering.

Does the fan usually get damaged?

I use mine probably every other day, and have had it for two years before this happened. I think some people just may do the tapping method to clean the fan, the way I’ve seen in another video, rather than fully replace it.
