How to Clean the Front Wheel of a Roomba Discovery

Step 12Reassemble and test

Reassemble and test
Replace the top cover and bumper making sure to reconnect both sets of wires. To get the bumper to properly mate, you'll have to jiggle the top cover and carefully shove the bumper. Replace all the screws and send Roomba out for a test clean.

Celebrate your fully functioning robot, and appreciate the several months of operation until the front wheel fills back up with hair!

Thank you so much for this. Thank goodness only one of my robots has this kind of front wheel. I did manage, with your great instructions, to get it clean. However, I will never ever do it again -- what a complete pain! I'll pick it clean with a dental tool next time.
