iRobot Roomba 560 Fan Replacement

Giriş

This guide outlines how to replace the entire fan unit rather than fixing the entire unit itself, because doing so would require advanced techniques such as soldering. This replacement is needed when dirt clogs the fan due to the close proximity between the fan and the vacuum bin.

Remove the top of the vacuum bin by pulling it straight up.
The bin is composed of two parts (the clear top casing and the red bottom filter). To avoid a mess, be careful to not let these two pieces detach, unless over a trash bin.
