The Xiaomi Vacuum G10 series of vertical wireless vacuum cleaners have proven to be reliable devices for quick cleaning, but even the best equipment requires maintenance over time. Disassembly of the vacuum cleaner may be required if large dust has got inside, a foreign object has stuck or there is a need to replace consumables that are not extracted in the standard way. Understanding the design of the device is the first step to successful and safe repair.
Unlike wired models, where it is often enough to remove the bottom cover, wireless monoblocks have a more complex internal layout. The battery, control board and engine are tightly packed into an ergonomic body. Improper handling of latches or the use of inappropriate tools can lead to damage to the plastic or rupture of the plumes. So before starting any manipulation, it is important to study the sequence of actions.
In this guide, we will look at the phased process of dismantling the Xiaomi G10, from simple filter cleaning operations to powertrain access. You will learn what tools you will need to work, how to disconnect electronic components correctly and what to pay special attention to when building. A competent approach will extend the life of your device without going to the service center.
Workplace preparation and necessary tools
Before you start dismantling the Xiaomi G10, you need to organize a comfortable workspace. You will need a table with good lighting, so that small screws and plastic elements do not get lost. It is advisable to use an antistatic mat or just a clean surface covered with fabric, so as not to scratch the glossy parts of the case during operation.
To disassemble this device, you'll need a minimal set of tools, which you often find in the master's home drawer, and the main tool will be a cross screwdriver, but it's important to pick up the right size bits to keep the screw caps from licking, and plastic blades can also be useful for opening the case without damage.
- ๐ ๏ธ Cross screwdriver (size) PH1 or PH2) screw-up.
- ๐ง Thin flat screwdriver or mediator for neatly snapping plastic clips.
- ๐งค Dielectric gloves (optional) to protect electronics from static electricity.
- ๐ฆ Container with compartments for sorting screws of different lengths.
โ ๏ธ Warning: Before starting disassembly, be sure to completely turn off the vacuum cleaner and make sure it is not connected to the charger.Working with lithium-ion batteries requires caution.
Special attention is paid to the organization of the process. screws in the Xiaomi G10 can have different lengths and threads, so their entanglement during assembly can damage the threaded joints or the body. It is recommended to photograph each stage of dismantling or use a magnetic mat to fix the parts in order of their removal.
Dismantling of filtration and dust collection system
The maintenance process of the Xiaomi G10 always starts with the exterior of the dust collection system, which is the most common procedure, but requires care to avoid damaging the seals. First, you need to disconnect the main tube and the nozzle, if they are installed, to gain free access to the body of the engine unit.
To extract the container, press the lock button and pull the tank down. Inside, you'll see a cyclone block and you'll see a smack. HEPA-Unlike the simple models, the filter is protected by a mesh, which sometimes needs to be removed for deep cleaning. Be careful with rubber seals, because their loss will lead to dust entering the engine.
If you want to disassemble the cyclone block itself to remove stuck debris, use a plastic shoulder blade. Metal tools can damage the thin partitions of the cyclone. Wash the removable elements with water only after the filter elements are fully removed and dry thoroughly before assembly.

Don't wash. HEPA-filter with water more than once a month and be sure to dry it for at least 24 hours, otherwise mold may develop inside, which when the vacuum cleaner will fly around the room.
Removal of the bottom cover and access to the battery
To reach the internal components, such as the battery pack and the control board, remove the bottom decorative handle cover. In the Xiaomi G10 model, it is fixed by several screws, which are often hidden under rubber plugs or stickers. Carefully examine the surface of the handle for hidden fasteners.
Once you've twisted all the screws you can see, you need to gently tuck the lid around the perimeter, and the plastic in that area can be quite stiff, so you can move gradually, you can go around the circle, you can evenly release the latches. A sharp jerk can break the mounts, and then the lid will dangle when you're in operation.
Inside you will see a battery pack that is G10 It is usually composed of several elements connected in series. BMS-The board (battery management system) is directly at the end of the battery pack.
Labeling of the elements
Disassembly of engine compartment and turbine
The most difficult part of the Xiaomi G10 is the engine compartment, where the high-speed engine is located, which is accessed after removing the handle and separating the upper body, and here is the main control board, which monitors the operation of the engine and reads the readings of the sensors.
The engine is mounted on vibration insulators, which may lose their properties over time. Removing the engine requires disconnecting the power connector and the duct. Pay attention to the position of the turbine, it must rotate freely, without beating. If you hear any extraneous noise, you may need to replace the bearings or the entire turbine assembly.
| Component | Type of attachment | Frequency of service |
|---|---|---|
| HEPA-filter | Strike/latch | Every 1-3 months |
| Cyclone block | Screws/Clipses | As pollution progresses |
| Inlet duct | Free access | Monthly |
| Engine. | Vibration insulators | When noise is made |
When cleaning the engine compartment, use compressed air or a soft brush. Dust stuffed between winding turns or on turbine blades disrupts balancing and causes overheating. It is critical not to wet the electronic circuit boards and the engine, as moisture will lead to irreversible short circuits.
Maintenance of motor-wheel and brush
Although the main article is about the body, you can't forget about the motor-wheel nozzle, which also requires periodic disassembly. The Xiaomi G10 uses an electrified brush that also has its own engine and belt drive. Over time, hair and threads are wound on the axis of the brush, which blocks the rotation.
To clean, flip the nozzle over and find the fixing elements, usually screws under decorative plugs or swivel latches on the sides of the brush body. Once you remove the lid, you will access the roller. Carefully remove the wound debris using scissors or a special hook that often comes with a kit.
โ๏ธ Checklist of maintenance of motor-wheel
Check the stubble and belt of the drive. If the belt is stretched or cracked, it must be replaced, otherwise the motor-wheel will be overloaded, and also check the connections of the nozzle to the main pipe - they should not be oxidized or contaminated.
Assembly of the device and verification of functionality
The Xiaomi G10 is assembled in the exact opposite order. Make sure that all plumes and connectors are snapped to the characteristic-click-. Pay special attention to filter seals and duct joints: any leakiness will lead to loss of suction power and dust entering the engine.
Once you've connected all the plastic parts, don't rush to twist all the screws at once. First, assemble the frame, check the buttons and the indicators. If everything works correctly, you can finalize the assembly by twisting the fastener. Don't pull the screws over, the plastic can crack.
โ ๏ธ Warning: If the vacuum cleaner whistles or doesn't develop full power after assembly, check the tightness of the joints.
Turn on the device and let it run at a minimum power for a few minutes. Listen to the engine: there should be no extraneous vibrations. Successful disassembly and cleaning often returns the device to factory performance.
