Disassembly of the vacuum cleaner Xiaomi Vacuum Mop: from the lid to the turbine - instructions with nuances

Why should you take down the Xiaomi Vacuum Mop?

Vacuum Mop Vacuum Mop (including models) 1C, 2 Lite, 2 Pro is a popular cleaning device, but even it has problems over time, most often with a blockage in the turbine, a drop in suction power or a rapid battery discharge. ₽, while many faults can be eliminated on their own - it is enough to carefully disassemble the case and clean the key nodes.

In this article, you can take a step-by-step look at the photo, the tools you need, and the typical errors that cause the board or the motor to break, and we'll look at both basic cleaning (like removing hair from the turbine shaft) and deep disassembly to replace the battery or brushes, and if your vacuum cleaner doesn't turn on after a fall, it gnashes or doesn't hold a charge, here's the solution.

⚠️ Important: Disassembly of the Xiaomi Vacuum Mop voids the warranty (if it is still valid). The models of 2023-2026 use adhesive latches instead of screws - they are easy to break if you are not sloppy opening.

What tools will you need?

To disassemble the Xiaomi Vacuum Mop does not need professional devices - a household kit is enough.

• 🔧 Cross screwdriver (size) PH0 or PH1 — hull-rotor).
• 📱 Plastic spatula (mediator or special tool for opening smartphones).
• 🧲 Tweezers – to extract small parts (for example, sealing rings).
• 🔋 Multimeter (optional) – to check the battery voltage.
• 🧴 Isopropyl alcohol (70%+) — clean-up.
• 🧼 Soft brush (dental or brush) – to remove dust from the turbine.

If you are planning to replace the battery, buy the original battery in advance (the article depends on the model, for example, for Xiaomi Vacuum Mop 2 Pro — BHR4265). Bearing lubricant may be needed to clean the turbine (e.g., bearing lubricant, WD-40 Specialist).

Preparation for disassembly: what to do before opening the body

Before you take on the screwdriver, follow several mandatory steps:

1. Turn the vacuum cleaner off the mains and take out the battery (if the model is removable). Even a discharged battery can cause a short circuit if handled sloppyly.
2. Take a photo of the case from all sides – this will help to properly assemble the device back, especially if you are first engaged in repairs.
3. Clean the external filters (HEPA Clogged filters are often the cause of poor suction and are easier to wash than to disassemble the turbine.
4. Prepare your workspace: Cover a light cloth (so you don’t lose small details) and provide good lighting.

If the vacuum cleaner does not turn on at all, check:

• 🔌 Integrity of charging cable (especially at the base).
• 🔋 Battery contacts - they could have oxidized.
• 🚫 Is there any visual damage to the body (cracks, dents).

Step-by-step disassembly of the body: from the lid to the turbine

The disassembly process differs depending on the model, but the overall scheme is the same. Consider the example of Xiaomi Vacuum Mop 2 Pro (similar to the model). 1C, 2 Lite adjusted for screw count).

Step 1: Removal of the upper cover

1. Turn the vacuum cleaner down with the buttons.

2 Unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom panel (they can be hidden under stickers or rubber legs).

3. Carefully apply the lid with a plastic blade, starting at the corner next to the power button. Be careful - the latches are fragile!

Step 2: Removing the battery

1. disconnect the power connector from the board (it is usually white).

2 Unscrew 2 screws that lock the battery.

3. Pull out the battery by pulling it away from the board. Don't pull the wires!

Step 3: Access to turbine and motor

1. Remove the plastic protection from the turbine (it is mounted on the latches).

2. disconnect the motor wires from the board (remember their location!).

3 Unscrew the 3 screws holding the turbine and carefully pull it out.

⚠️ Attention: The turbine often accumulates hair, threads and debris wrapped around the shaft. Don't try to pull them out with your hands - use tweezers or scissors to avoid damaging the blades.

Cleaning the turbine and motor: how to return the power of suction

If the vacuum cleaner is weak or louder than usual, the problem is 90 percent of the time the turbine is the problem.

1. Remove the big trash from the blades with tweezers. Don't pull the strings, they could have wound onto the shaft.
2. Wash the turbine with warm water and soap (do not use aggressive detergents!).
3. Dry the part for at least 24 hours (you can use a hair dryer at minimum power).
4. Lubricate the bearings (if they creak) with special lubrication (WD-40 Specialist LIQUI MOLY).

⚠️ Note: If the turbine is not rotating or is squandering after cleaning, the brush assembly of the motor is probably worn out, in which case a replacement of the motor will be required (article for Xiaomi Vacuum Mop 2 Pro — MDZ18DB).

💡

To check the operation of the turbine after cleaning, connect it to the board and briefly apply power (no more than 2-3 seconds).

Replacement of the battery: when and how to do it

The average battery life in Xiaomi Vacuum Mop is 2-3 years (or 300-500 charge cycles).

• 🔋 Discharged in 5-10 minutes of work;
• 🔌 Does not hold a charge even after full charging;
• 🔥 Heats up more than usual —

It's time to replace the battery.

How do you choose a battery?

Original batteries for Xiaomi Vacuum Mop have a capacity of 2500-2600 mAh and voltage 14.4V. Suitable analogues:

• 📦 Baseus 2600mAh (model-compatible 1C/2 Lite);
• 📦 Remax RBM-06 (2 Pro);
• 📦 The original Xiaomi BHR4265 (lasting).

Replacement

1. disconnect the old battery from the board.

2. Set a new one, observing polarity (plus to plus, minus to minus).

3. Secure the battery with screws and connect the connector.

⚠️ Warning: After replacing the battery, be sure to calibrate: discharge the vacuum cleaner before switching off, then charge 100% without interruptions.

💡

The new battery, the first 3-5 cycles, can show unstable operating time, which is normal. Full "rock-up" takes up to 2 weeks.

Cleaning the vacuum cleaner: how to avoid mistakes

Putting Xiaomi Vacuum Mop back together is harder than disassembling, because accuracy and consistency are important.

• 🔧 First connect all the connectors to the board, then fix them with screws.
• 📸 Check with photos taken before the disassembly.
• 🔋 Make sure the battery fits tightly to the body – vibration when operating can displace it.
• 🧩 Closing the cover, press it evenly so that the latches stand in place.

After assembly:

1. Turn on the vacuum cleaner and check the operation of the turbine (should be an even sound without creaking).
2. Test the suction - bring your hand to the slit: a strong traction force should be felt.
3. Charge the device to 100% and check the operating time.

If the vacuum cleaner does not turn on after assembly, check:

• 🔌 Correct connection of connectors (especially motor power).
• 🔋 Battery contacts – they could have moved away during assembly.
• 🛠️ Integrity of the fuse on the board (with a short circuit it burns out).

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even experienced users sometimes make mistakes when disassembling Xiaomi Vacuum Mop.

⚠️ Warning: If the vacuum cleaner is unstable after dismantling (it turns off itself, loses contact with the application), reset it to the factory settings:

1. Hold the power button for 10 seconds.
2. Connect to the vacuum cleaner via Mi Home and select Reset Settings.
