I have a litter robot open air 3, with recently an upgrade to WiFi.
We’ve had some serious problems with the robot for a few weeks now. The blue light keeps flashing and indicating that the drawer is full. After cycling we can manually reset it once and after the next it keeps flashing. We were away for the holidays and our sitters had to keep turning the robot him on and off, because the reset button would not work at all. It hardly cycled.
We’ve cleaned it properly, checked if the bin bag was not in front of the glass, cleaned the glasses, checked the pins that would cause errors in the past etcetera.
Thank you for your ongoing support of I ask a question.
We don’t have any warranty left. So I’ll order new DFI sensors. The pins are a bit corroded. We’ve cleaned and sanded them a few times already, but I think I’ll order new ones as well just to the replace them one time. Can the pins alone cause the same error with the blue flashing light? Or is it sure that it’s the DFI sensors?
Could you link the DFI sensors and the pins for me?
1-Make sure that the cable linking the night light under the bonnet is properly connected.
2-Please test if the night light is interrupting your cycle. If the night light turns on and the cycle is interrupted, then your bonnet needs to be replaced.
*To activate the night light, turn off and then on the room lights in the evening. During the day, you can create shade by covering the control panel near the power button with your hands.
3-Make sure that the 3 connectors on the circuit board are properly connected.
Lastly, please send us photos of the 2 sets of contact pins.
Awaiting your response,
I followed the YouTube video with all the steps. None of the steps was giving problems. Although the pins on the base are used and very slightly corroded.
The blue light is properly working. It isn’t placed next to a wall etcetera. I also checked the steps you typed. The three connectors on the circuit board are properly connected.
So, what’s our next step? My guess is the DFI sensors and new pins?
Good news. The blue light is not flashing anymore and the drawer full indicators are working. It runs smoothly again. Thank you!
We’ve had 2-3 yellow blinking light errors, but I cannot detect what’s happening them. I think it happens after there is one notification of the drawer full and we were not be able to fix it immediately. Any thoughts on that?
We are glad to hear that the robot is working properly now.
As for the yellow blinking light, please try to record it when it happens again and send us a video of it to have a better understanding of the issue and help you fix it.
