Cannot upvote this video enough!!! Thank you! This was the solution I was looking for!!

Clear explanations & demonstration. Better then the LR site. Thank you!

Thanks! Helped me fix mine. Just got all my cats to start using it and it starts jamming. I didn't have a long screwdriver to take the whole thing apart so I used a old toothbrush and a toothpick to clean the contacts and use my phone camera to get a better look.

Me too!! So glad I found this video! He's better than the company reps!

Great video on fixing the weight sensor issue. It was an easy fix to clean the contacts and re-assemble. Thanks!

My wife fixed ours with replacing the dfi pinch sensor kit altogether. The new boards are shorter and insulated. She did it while I was sleeping. I'm only here because of your cute cat assistant 😂😻

Hey I just wanted to say I feel like I should cash app you a couple hundred dollars for posting this video and saving me 600.00, I was just about to order my wife a new when I found this video and to my surprise, your instructions and very detailed video saved my wallet. Thank you for posting this video young man. Cheers!

Thank you - after a few weeks of fast flashing yellow, problem solved! I removed contacts and cleaned them. Reinstalled and good to go. I feel so accomplished and it’s not even 11 am!

Oh man. I’ve been struggling with that yellow blinking light for years. This is the first video that’s identified the problem. Thank you! Please don’t ever take this video down.

Thank you. Never commented on a video but so helpful deserved a comment! Clear and easy to follow. Fixed the problem straight away with confidence!

Our litter robot had been sitting stuck in that yellow blinking stage for months. I took it apart to the point of being able to easily get to that weight sensor which had litter blocking it. I cleaned that and now it works again. Great video, much better than anything on the litter robot website. They should hire you to make tutorials!

Thank you!! I love that you explain exactly how the parts work because that’s what I needed to understand.

This video helped me fix my blinking yellow light when all other youtube videos failed..Litter Robot needs to be compensating this young man for his excellent help/how-to video!

Aiman, thank you so much! I tried everything and then I followed your instructions and now my Litter-Robot is fixed. I appreciate it so much!

Good info. However, the part you were fixing there is not a weight sensor. It's a pinch sensor. If a cat got caught in the drum when it started turning, that sensor would keep the cat from being injured if it got its leg in the wrong place. The weight sensor is the round thing underneath the unit, which is spring loaded. On early models, that weight spring could be adjusted for the weight of the cat. In addition, there is a pair of metal contacts on the left side of the part that goes over the drum. They provide power to the blue light in the drum, but if those two contacts get dirty or corroded, the drum will not turn very well, and it may quit working completely.

Great Job! 1st time doing this after about four years. Worked as described, pulled and cleaned contacts.

Thank you, thank you! I got my litter robot working again thanks to this video ❤🎉

You’re welcome, you’re welcome! I’m glad I helped you out!

Great video! What a lifesaver. With a GUM Proxabrush, a headlamp, and the right angle, I was able to clean the affected sensor without removing any screws or taking the base apart.

I tried everything regarding cleaning, wasn't until I saw this video that made sense why the blinking lights would not go away, great video and tutorial, thanks so much!

Incredible video. Really breaks it down. This job took me like an hour! Solid fix! Thank you OP!

Thank you for posting this you saved us!! I have researched until I about tossed mine and bought a new one. I've only had it about 2 years so I was very disappointed. Sitting at work decided to try to find an answer once more. I found this video. My hands are small enough I didn't have to take the unti apart. I was able to reach in there and clean the connectors... walllaa we're working again!

I learned a bunch about how the robot works. I think I can troubleshoot most issues now! Thank you!!

Thanks so much for this video, Aiman! I was able to use it to repair three Litter Robots that I've had for several years that have been glitching this way for some time, requiring me to re-set everything by hand. Now they all have steady blue lights and they're all completely operational! I thought I was going to have to buy new ones. Thanks so much!

Very helpful for diagnosis and repair! Thank you!

Don’t normally comment but this helped me out. Thank you man. Good work.

Thank you so much for making this video! I was having this exact same problem and this helped me fix it.

Excellent demonstration. Thank you.

Thanks man. Perfect. 5 min, done. Most I have had to do in the 5 years I have owned it, with 3 cats

Thank you! Totally didn’t know about the sensor, I did however use a toothbrush the clean the connections so I didn’t have to take it apart!

This video just saved me $400, I was ready to pepper my LR3 with buckshot! The fix was simple, one of the contacts for the weight sensor had come loose. 9 screws, a couple of wires, and the fix was in. Thanks a bunch!

Thankyou, You saved me a lot of time fixing my Litter Robot!!

AWESOME VIDEO !! It was my EXACT problem. Cleaned up those overweight contacts which were full of schmutz and PRESTO...reset and working again. THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT JOB, BOY!!! You saved us. Many thanks.

Hello Aiman, thanks a lot for your great explanation, I had the issue you described (fast blinking yellow light) and as a matter of fact the circuit was open because the contacts were dirty, cleaned them, back to work, thanks again!

Dude you are awesome! Thanks so much, the robot litter website and help guide was so awful but you explained everything perfectly

Thank you so so so much for this video. Very well explained and helped me solved the issue I was facing. Keep up the good work :)

This is the "pinch sensor" not an overweight sensor as described. It is to prevent your cat's leg from being pinched is she tries to use the robot while it is mid-cycle. The weight sensor is on the underside of the unit and looks like a hockey puck.

Very useful information, save me money. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you 🙏

Good job, this is the video that helped me find the problem.

Your awesome 👏..it worked 💪🏼

Thank you so much

Great job explaining this issue👏🤩

Such an intelligent guy, thank you!

Actually I want to buy another but. You save my $600. Thank you.

That part you were pushing is not the Weight sensor...it is the pinch sensor...and you should test it regularly...it also gets dirty from the littler falling on it.!! The weight sensor is located bottom rear.

You are a genius thank you so much 😊

You're a cool cat, keep doing you dude

Thanks. Just what i needed to fix it

Thanks. Just what i needed to fix it :-)

Thanks man. It was definitely the weight sensor. Just take a flat head and vacuum and cleaned between the cracks.

God bless your soul

You rock!

Very cute kitty:)

I used a dewalt small wet/dry vac. I just reversed it so air was going out. It wasn’t too strong and I got a big clump of litter out of sensor area. I avoided taking everything apart. I would of never of looked there if not for this video.

Holy sh** it worked thanks!!!

I need some advice... mine has been working okay, and then lately (Last 2-3 mo's) it seems to think every 3 days the drawer is full. I pulled the bonnet off 3 times this morning and FULL cleaned it due to the dreaded pinch fault. Wont cycle at all. Can't get the error to clear. I can't get underneath it to try and check the pinch mech just yet. But I'm thinking it might be that the plastic piece might be warped...

I had a lot of issues with the drum stopping half way, tried everything, cleaning the contacts, cleaning the whole unit, cleaning out the pinch sensor, this was over a couple of years, but afte a couple of days it would start doing this stop half way thing again. This time I cleaned the contacts with light sandpaper, pushed a little bit of cardboard in behind the contacts to keep them pushed out, and, I think this is what made the difference, i then cleaned out the little sensor on the top of the bonnet as the clear plastic oover for the sensor was full of dust, & it has not stopped once in a long time now. It would always stop half way leading me to think it wasn't the bonnet contacts, as it should have stopped at random points in the cycle but worth cleaning out the contacts anyway.

Rather than taking it apart. I took a long thin blade screwdriver and spread them apart, just a little, sprayed electronic cleaner on them released them and it worked

That piece of plastic is actually a pinch sensor and not a weight sensor. Its to prevent the cats from pinching their legs if they decide to play around while the machine is in motion.

Aiman, thanks the video! I deep clean pinch detector, yellow light still quick flash. Then I remove two metal pin, force contact pin still yellow flash, what else do you think to check?

Please help with your litter robot 3

Could it be that my cat is too fat. Lol. Poor baby. He's on a diet now. Hopefully it works. Thanks for the great video

Can you show us what to do with a rapid blinking light. We have replaced the pinchers, we have tried resetting it, by turning it off and unplugging it. But still has a rapid flashing yellow light, when turned back on. What else do we need to do?

Yes, if you want to further check it out, here's the link to the manual! www.litter-robot.com/manual_pdf/Litter-Robot_III-Manual-Revision_C.pdf

What do you do when the power button will not turn on or off? Or the solid yellow light stays on and you cannot reset it?

I don't suppose you have a suggestion for an issue of the robot being stuck on a yellow UNBLINKING light, not responding to anything (even the power button)? I've tried dismantling and putting back together the CPU. The bottom sensors appear to be fine. Unfortunately I brought mine 11 months ago from a UK former international partner of Litter Robot and the company went bust a few months ago. I even brought 18 month extended warranty, but the company are uncontactable and I'm stuck with a broken robot. I've tried waiting in the queue to speak with litter robot in the US but the international calls have already cost be a fortune! Sorry for the ramble, I'm a bit stuck!

www.litter-robot.com/manual_pdf/Litter-Robot_III-Manual-Revision_C.pdf That is very strange! According to the manual, there is no error when stuck on a yellow light, except for indicating "The Litter-Robot is cycling (Clean or Empty cycle)" Maybe your model believes it is perpetually stuck in cleaning mode? Maybe check the sensors that detect when the cycle is over?

The weight sensor is the one on the bottom the round button

Great video man! But not necessary to take the base apart...all those screws and wires will spell trouble and regrets for some (especially on a $600 shit box🤦🏼‍♂️). You can easily use a flashlight and needle nose pliers to bend those metal pieces back together and or sand them off a little bit for better contact or vice versa if they need to be pulled apart some! I won't know my outcome for a while as my Siamese has decided to go inside it for more time than I care to go back down and investigate! 🤦🏼‍♂️😂🤢

It’s a pinch sensor just in case you’re cat fall in that hole that sensor will stop the system when pushed

I believe that's the anti pinch safely...

It’s called the pinch sensor That is not the weight sensor

Take the key on the back off and get rid of the shield.....

I cleaned mine and it’s still blinking. Frustrating.

Don't press the power button but removes the plug. Ok. But nice troubleshooting.

Mine is stuck blinking fast yellow light, I bypassed the pinch sensor and its still doing it... I'm bout to throw this shit out... anyone else have the same issue?

OMG. $700 for this contraption? That's ridiculous. For the amount of time it takes to diagnose, take apart, clean and put the damn thing back together again, I could have manually cleaned 15 litter boxes.

Thank you! But showing me how to put it back together would have helped!!!

He didn't show if it really worked after the cleaning.

Hope litter robot is paying you loads. They can just get rid of their "customer service" and direct you to your channel.

Just bypass the damn pinch detector by removing those pinch clips and twist the wires together w some electrical tape. No cat on the planet is going into a moving machine. Problem solved.

I think my cat Billie IS overweight 😹

Quite honestly, I would NEVER recommend someone get a Litter Robot. I have 2 - that's $1200 worth of litterboxes. Both worked fine for about 2 years, and since then I have had nothing but trouble with them. First one problem then another. I live alone and don't have someone who can take them apart and fix them. I can't do it myself. So I have $1200 of worthless litter boxes. I should have stayed with the regular boxes.

They dont have that black key on them anymore

THIS IS LITERALLY 1 WEEK OLD! SOOOOO FN tired of this! what a waste of money.

It's ridiculous that this is a normal fix for a very expensive commercial product. What a complete POS this product is

TY worked!

Hi Aiman! Thank you!!! Our litter robot is fixed! Your kitty is so pretty, I hope she wasn't embarrassed to be the star of your video about litter robot repair, she looks like she should star in a more glamorous video!
