Introduction

The wheels are an important component of the vacuum that can easily get clogged or damaged and will render the vacuum unusable. If you need to replace the wheels of your Wyze WVCR200s robot vacuum, follow this guide.

Tools

Step 1

Flip the vacuum upside down so the bottom is facing up.
In the center of the device, you should see the rotating brush that stretches from one wheel to the other.

Step 2

Pinch the blue tabs below the rotating brush towards each other.
Lift the plastic housing surrounding the rotating brushing straight up, and the remove it from the vacuum.

Step 3

To remove the rotating brush, lift one end of the brush upwards, and remove.

Step 4

Use a screwdriver to remove four screws along the edge, just above where the brush was removed.

Step 5

Lift the battery cover up and out of the vacuum.

Step 6

Lift the battery out from underneath the cover.
Be careful not to pull or yank the battery out, it is connected by wires to the vacuum port.
Carefully disconnect the battery from the vacuum port.

Step 7

Flip the vacuum upside down so the underside of the device is facing up.
On the upper left of the device, you should see a spinning brush with three arms protruding out. This is the side brush.

Step 8

To remove, grab the three arms of the brush and pull upwards. The arms should be tight, but should not require too much force to lift off.
Once the brush is off, a square peg that holds the brush should be visible.
Place the replacement brush on the square peg, and press down with moderate pressure.

Step 9

Flip the vacuum over.

Step 10

The small plastic connector holding the bumper in place should now be loose. Make sure it's disconnected.
Pull the bumper straight off of the vacuum.

Step 12

Use a spudger to pry the cover off that surrounds the vacuum mechanism.
Remove the two screws securing the access cover.
Remove the cover.

Step 13

Use a screwdriver to remove the four screws holding the mechanism itself.
Lift the vacuum mechanism from the device.
It is connected to the vacuum by a cable so don't pull it out quickly or yank it out.
Disconnect the cable from the vacuum.

Step 14

Use a screwdriver to remove the ten screws on the back side of the vacuum that hold the outer shell in place.
Use a spudger or opening tool to pry along the edges of the vacuum and separate the two parts.
