If bObi Pet's remote shows error 4, a wheel replacement may be needed. You can find out which wheel to replace by completing bObi Pet's check up test.

Step 1: Turn BObi Pet Off

Before we get started, turn bObi Pet OFF and flip her over onto a flat surface.

Next, remove bObi Pet's dustbin. Grip the small tab on the back of the bin, and pull to remove.

Step 2: Remove the Front Wheel

Grip the front wheel and pull straight up, using the screwdriver for leverage.

The wheel will pop out and you will see two screws beneath it. There is a larger screw set deeper in the wheel compartment. Use the screwdriver to remove it. (Highlighted Blue)

Remember to keep all screws and parts removed from bObi Pet safely aside during the repair. They may be needed for re-assembly.

Step 3: Remove the Dustbin Holders

Remove the screws on both sides of bObi Pet’s dustbin. Then, remove the corner pieces that were held down by the screws.

Grip the brush compartment and pull down to reveal two screws on a red fastener. Remove them with the screwdriver.

Step 4: Remove the Main Brushes

Pull the brush compartment up until the fastener is freed from bObi Pet. Then, detach the brush compartment's circuit plug and set it aside.

Remove the four screws located beneath the brush compartment.

Step 5: Remove the Cover Screws

Remove the two screws on the dustbin’s red fastener.

Remove the fastener and set it aside for reassembly.

Step 6: Remove the Wheel's Screws

Uninstall the two screws on the wheel you wish to replace. In this case, bObi Pet's right wheel is being replaced.

The cover is no longer secured, so carefully flip bObi Pet onto her wheels.

Step 7: Disconnect the Cover

Lift the cover to reveal the main board underneath.

Remove the two circuit plugs connecting the lid to the mainboard. (Highlighted Blue)

bObi Pet's cover is entirely separated. Put the lid aside and you can start replacing the left or right wheel.

Step 8: Unplug the Wheel

The wheels are attached to the top of the mainboard. (Highlighted Yellow)

Unplug the wheel you wish to replace. In the above images, the right wheel is being replaced.

If there is glue holding the circuit plug in place, you may scrape it off using your screwdriver.

Lift bObi Pet and feed the wheel's wires through the hole. The wheel will detach from underneath.

Step 9: Plug in the New Wheel

Place your new wheel in the open space underneath bObi Pet.

Ensure the circuit plug goes through the opening on bObi Pet and reaches the main board.

Plug your new wheel into the mainboard. You may add glue or electrical tape to the new wheel’s circuit plug for a more secure hold.

Step 10: Connect the Cover

Attach the two circuit plugs from bObi Pet's cover back onto her main board.

The yellow-wired plug connects to the right side of the mainboard. (Highlighted yellow)

The white-wired plug on bObi Pet’s lid connects to the middle of the mainboard. (Highlighted White)

Step 11: Align the Cover

Lay down bObi Pet's cover and line up the edges precisely.

While holding the top and bottom together, carefully flip bObi Pet over onto a flat surface.

Then, install the two screws on the wheel you've just replaced.

Step 12: Replace the Front Wheel

Reinstall the front wheel’s screw.

Then, place the front wheel on top and firmly push down to secure it.

Step 13: Secure the Cover

Replace the dustbin’s red fastener and install its 2 screws.

Install the 4 screws in the space beneath the brush compartment.

Step 14: Replace the Main Brushes

Plug in the brush compartment.

Then, replace its red brush fastener and install the 2 screws.

Step 15: Replace the Dustbin Holders

Position the brush compartment back in its original place on bObi Pet.

Now reinsert the corner pieces on both sides of the dustbin, with the arms of the brush attachment linked.

Step 16: Replace the Dustbin

Ensure the rubber strip near bObi Pet's dustbin is not stuck underneath the brush compartment. Then, reinstall the two screws in each of the corner pieces.

Make sure the bin can slide in easily before using bObi Pet again and your repair is complete.

Congratulations on completing bObi Pet's wheel replacement and happy cleaning!
