After this fix, it just says to put it in the floor. Is there a sensor or withat I may have missed connecting?

are left and right rear wheels identical parts? can one just replace the wheels and not the motors? I have loose ratcheting in one of the rear wheels. the D80 won’t back up correctly and stalls at each chair.

I have a Neato D7 and I am replacing the wheels. I have pulled it apart and mistakenly didn’t take a picture prior to disassembling the same area you did with the 80. Do you at least have a diagram of the D7 that I could use to re-assemble? I am particularly concerned about where the springs and a circular piece connected to circuit board (labeled 8015W) is placed.

Thanks

The tread on my botvac 80 is gone on 1 back wheel. Motor seems to still work good. Can you tell me how to get a replacement wheel? Have looked on amazon and ebay. Any help will be appreciated. Tammy

Taking apart and assembly is the easy part. Finding spares however… Got a worn down drive gear, that’s it. The rest of the machine seems just fine. So a $4-500 gadget is broken just because I can’t find a small plastic gear replacement that shouldn’t be more than a few bucks. Stupid.
