How to disassemble the vacuum cleaner Xiaomi: full instruction

Owners of wireless models Xiaomi and Roborock sooner or later face the need to deep clean the device. Over time, performance drops, and the engine can emit extraneous sounds, which signals contamination of internal components. Understanding how to understand the vacuum cleaner Xiaomi allows you to extend the life of the equipment and avoid costly maintenance.

Modern vertical models are designed with modularity in mind, but their design requires careful handling. Internal filters and air intake channels need regular maintenance to maintain strong suction. Incorrect assembly or ignoring the nuances of the attachment can lead to loss of leakage and reduced efficiency.

In this guide, we will take a detailed look at the process of dismantling major nodes, cleaning the filtration system and replacing consumables. You will learn what tools you will need to safely open the case and how to avoid damage to plastic latches. Proper maintenance is the key to the long work of your smart assistant.

Workplace preparation and necessary tool

Before any manipulations, you need to organize a comfortable and well-lit space. Disassembly of electronics requires attention, so the absence of foreign objects and dust on the table will be a key factor in success. You will need a set of precision screwdrivers, since the screws in Xiaomi equipment often have custom hats.

Special attention should be paid to safety: the battery must be completely disconnected from the contact group before starting work with electronics. Even when the circuit is off, it can be under voltage, which creates a risk of short circuit if you carelessly handle metal tools.

⚠️ Warning: Before disassembling, make sure the device is completely cooled after the last operation to avoid burns or damage to thermosensitive elements.

To work, you will need the following tools:

• 🔧 Set of screwdrivers (cross-crosses) PH0, PH1 Torx T6, T8)
• 🛠️ Plastic blade for opening latches
• 🧤 Antistatic gloves to protect components
• 🧹 Soft brush and compressed air canister

The use of metal tools for (opening) the case is strongly discouraged, as it can leave scratches or damage plastic fixtures. It is best to use specialized mediators or plastic cards. If the screws are painted over with warranty seals, their integrity will have to be violated, which can affect the official warranty.

Dismantling of the dust collector and primary filtration system

The first step is always to remove the garbage container. In most Xiaomi Vacuum models, this node is fixed by a lock button located at the top of the handle or on the glass body, pressing the mechanism frees the container, allowing it to be removed without using excessive force.

The main compartment is a cyclone filter and HEPA-They need to be removed or replaced. HEPA-elements should not be washed with water more than once a month, as the wet material reduces thrust sharply and can cause engine failure.

When you look at the engine compartment inlet, you often find fine dust that has passed through the primary barrier, use a dry brush or a vacuum cleaner with a small diameter nozzle to remove it, and never try to blow dust into the engine compartment, which will lead to the dirt settling on the engine windings.

The cleaning process of the filter system is as follows:

• 🌀 Extract. HEPA-filter and knock them on the edge of the trash can
• 💧 Wash the cyclone filter with water without detergents
• 🌬️ Dry all elements at room temperature for at least a day
• 🔍 Check the sealing gums for damage

A common mistake of users is to install wet filters back into the device, which causes mold to form inside the case and corrosion of metal contacts, and the suction system must be completely dry before assembly.

Disassembly of the main body and access to the engine

To access the insides of the device, you need to remove the outer panels of the case. In Xiaomi models, screws are often hidden under decorative stickers or rubber plugs at the bottom of the handle and on the ends of the container. Carefully examine the device in bright light to find all the mounting points.

Once all the visible screws have been unscrewed, the body is held by plastic latches around the perimeter. Use a plastic blade to gently walk along the seam, gradually snapping the locks. Don't put too much effort into it: if the panel doesn't go, you missed the screw or didn't fully release the latch.

⚠️ Warning: When opening the case, act slowly so as not to damage the plumes connecting control buttons or indicators to the main board.

Inside, you'll see a turbine engine and an electronics unit. The engine is usually mounted on rubber dampers to reduce vibration. Before removing the motor, be sure to unplug the power connector. Cleaning the turbine impeller can significantly restore suction power if it's been clogged with hair cocoons.

Table of the main components and their frequency of service:

Replacement of the battery

Reduced battery life is the most common reason for disassembling Xiaomi vacuum cleaners after 2-3 years of use. The battery is a block of lithium-ion cells encased in a plastic casing and connected to the BMS control board.

In some models, such as the Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner 1C or G9, the battery can be secured with screws under the bottom handle. In other cases, access is through the bottom of the device.

The new battery should have identical voltage and capacity characteristics. Using unoriginal or cheap analogues can lead to improper electronics or even fire.

Once the new battery is installed, reassemble the case and charge the device for 8-10 hours to calibrate the controller, which will help the system correctly determine the residual capacity and display the correct percentage of charge.

Turbine cleaning and hair removal

The hair and fur of the animals that are wound on the turbine shaft are the main enemy of any vacuum cleaner. Over time, the layer of hair compacts, creating a balancing imbalance, which causes strong vibration and hum. Disassembly of the turbine assembly requires special care, since the engine shaft is very sensitive to lateral loads.

To get to the impeller, you often have to remove the safety net or dismantle the duct cochlea. Use tweezers and scissors to remove the coiled fibers. If the hair is pressed into the bearing, you may need to use a special spray-cleaner for bearings.

Once cleaned, the shaft must be rotated easily and silently, if you feel a slug or a grinding sound, you may need to replace the bearing or the entire motor module, and impeller balancing is critical to keeping the device quiet.

• ✂️ Carefully cut the main hair lump without damaging the blades.
• 🧹 Clean out the remains with a hard bristling brush
• 💨 Blow the node with compressed air to remove fine dust
• 🔍 Check the integrity of the blades for chips

💡

Lubricate the turbine bearing only with heat-resistant lubricant, ordinary oil will quickly burn out at high engine speeds.

Assembly and testing of the device

The final step is to assemble all the nodes in reverse order, make sure that all the plumes are connected before the click, and the screws are twisted with uniform force. Don't drag the screws in the plastic case, so as not to break the thread. Pay special attention to the tightness of the connection between the engine compartment and the container.

Before you turn on, check again if there are any extra parts or tools inside the body, turn on the device and listen to the engine. The sound should be smooth, without indicating leaks or beating.

Run the test cleaning at maximum power, and if the vacuum cleaner is stable for 5-10 minutes, then the dismantling and maintenance were successful, and regular maintenance of such procedures will allow Xiaomi to serve you for many years.

⚠️ Warning: If after assembly the device emits a strange smell of burning, immediately turn it off and check the correctness of connecting all contacts.

💡

Quality assembly and checking of tightness are the main conditions for successful repair and safe operation of the vacuum cleaner.
