Step 1

To take off the nozzle, filter, and catch bowl first start off by pushing in the button identified with a red square and twist that part of the device toward the handle portion of the vacuum and it should click and pop off the chassis.

Step 2

Once the nozzle, filter and dust bowl have been removed each part can be removed from the nozzle section of the device.

Step 3

Remove the three screws.

There are no screws on my model

There are no 3 screws on my model either. No way to remove the cover or remove the battery. Unit goes in the recycle.

Step 4

Flip the hand vac over and remove two screws.

Step 5

Once you have successfully unscrewed the five screws holding the cover on you should be able to take the cover off.
Remove the L-shaped plastic hook.
Once the L shaped hook has been removed the motor will easily fall out of place.

Step 6

Once the motor has been removed from its home the two wires that are giving it power can easily be removed by pulling on them carefully.
This will then allow for you to replace the motor.

Step 7

Remove the three screws highlighted with red circles.

How do you remove the plastic bit on the handle to get to those screws?

I figured it out. Used a knife to pry it off. Knife is easiest, screwdriver wasn't narrow enough

I was able to swap the useless B & D NiCad batteries with a single 14.4 volt Lithium ion battery pack found on Amazon that is designed for a Eufy Robot vacuum cleaner and others. This pack was only $15.99 and is a single unit with wires attached to a connector. Here is description of item -Homesuit 14.4V 3300mAh Battery Replacement for Deebot N79S, N79, DN622 Eufy RoboVac 11 - I simply snipped off the connector and soldered the red wire to the red connector from the old battery pack and same with the black side. The wires are short, but worked ok and this pack is smaller than the orig. Nicad so bubble wrap on the sides and top worked well to fill the battery compartment. This 14.4 vol\t pack has plenty of power, is Liith. Ion so should last a long time and have no memory effect like the prior Nicad. I opted for this vs. another rec. of using the 4 18650 3.7 volt batteries in a holder as all the battery holders I could find did not seem robust enough for the power and was worried about too much heat.

Did you have to get a new charger or could you use the old one?
