Samsung POWERbot R7070: PowerBot R7040 Runs with disengaged powerbrush

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 17:23:15 -0700

my powerbot recently started to show this glitch where it actually runs pretending like it is cleaning but without actually vacuuming anything.(no powerbrush running) If i hit pause and then start again it starts and runs as expected. I’m not sure how often does this happen since it cleans mostly when I’m not home. I was only able to catch this on weekend.

Samsung POWERbot R7070: Left wheel is not working properly

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 13:51:01 -0700

I recently bought a refurbished powerbot r7070 and the left wheel stopped working. Everything was great for about a week before this issue occurred. I was hoping it was a minor issue but when i opened it up i couldn't see any jam or other visible issues. I am assuming it is the motor for that wheel. I called samsung and they dont sell parts for this model anymore.... So i am not sure what to do. I love the vaccum and i can get a refund for it but i got it at a once in a lifetime deal and would have to pay hundreds more for the same model =/

Samsung POWERbot R7070: Powerbot won't turn on at all

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 17:03:15 -0700

I have had my Powerbot R7070 for a bit over a year now, so it’s no longer covered by warranty.

Recently it stopped turning on, and I was told the problem would likely be with the battery. So, I ordered a new battery and replaced it.

The powerbot still won’t turn on.

I have followed directions on samsung’s support website, about letting it charge for a while, then toggling the emergency switch off and back on, then holding down the start button, but there’s no indication of the powerbot getting any power.

I also checked the charging dock’s charging pins with a multimeter, and it seems to be working fine, so something is wrong with the vacuum itself.

Any ideas?

Samsung POWERbot R7070: Cyclone fan is not spinning

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 08:32:38 -0700

The little fan inside the dust bin isn't spinning, so debris isn't being pulled all the way into the bin. I tried turning it manually, but it's stuck in place. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
