Hello my native language is German, I use a translator to write this post, I hope everything is understandable.
I bought a Litter Robot 3 3 years ago, which should now be out of warranty.
It started with the robot only turning about halfway through the cleaning process and then stopping with a flashing yellow light, which was probably due to the “pinch detect” error, according to my research.
I checked at the time to see if the two metal pins were touching and they were. Since then I have cleaned the Litter Robot by turning it manually and disconnecting it from time to time.
A few weeks ago, after I plugged it back in, it suddenly went through a complete cleaning process again, spun up completely and the blue light came back on constantly like it’s supposed to and it ran normally again for about 2 weeks.
Then it started all over again, the same procedure and now the yellow light is constantly yellow and the robot no longer reacts to anything.
The day before yesterday I completely disassembled the robot as far as I could and cleaned it completely, including the sensors and contacts, but unfortunately all to no avail.
Again, I did some research and I’m afraid the motor might be broken and needs to be replaced. Or does anyone have another solution?
Many thanks in advance
