Introduction

The Shark ION Robot 750 uses sensors to navigate an area without colliding into nearby furniture, walls, and other objects. This guide demonstrates the process to access and replace the sensors in the robot vacuum. Some symptoms of faulty sensors include: frequently bumping into furniture, irregular robot movement, and flashing error lights.

Before you begin this repair, make sure that your device is turned off.

Flip over the vacuum on a flat and uncluttered service with the bottom facing upwards.
Remove all seven 9.1mm Torx T15 screws from the device’s front bumper.
Remove the nine 9.1mm Torx T6 bolts from outer shell.

Step 2

Slightly pull front bumper to expose internal wiring.
Unplug the device’s front bumper wiring and completely remove front bumper.

Step 3

Remove the four 9.5mm Torx T6 bolts on the yellow brush frame.
Gently depress the two tabs on the frame, then lift the frame to remove it.

Step 4

Pick up the brush and remove it from the vacuum.
Push the brush to your right and lift it.

Step 5

Press and hold the dust bin removal button to slide out the dust bin.

Step 6

Lift the outer shell to expose the Shark’s interior.

Step 7
