FIX Roborock Error 1 - Laser Distance Sensor (LDS)

[flix]

Did y'all know that just a single hair sticking out of the red thing at the top of the vacuum can cause this error? Yeah, thanks for saying "check for any obstructions" at the start, it made me look at it a little closer to find the issue without unscrewing the whole thing!

I followed your instructions and was able to replace the motor successfully the first time. This video saved me a lot of headaches and a lot of money. Huge thank you!

Thanks for the tips Nick!
I don't know if anyone is still fixing those, but if you don't have a battery handy just use one of the USB cables hanging around, cut the NOT USB end, and expose two wires, red and black. Plug USB into your PC or any unit that has USB outputs and connect the exposed ends to your Roborock motor and if it is any good it will start spinning like new! Fixed my old Roborock twice like that.

The motor worked with the 9v battery, and afterwards everything worked fine, so thanks for the video! 👌 great step by step tutorial

Thanks for the video! It helped us fix our laser sensor. In our case, we believe something got jammed in the motor inside, and either by force turning it by hand once the sensor enclosure was removed, or by blowing inside the motor area with compressed air, must have removed the obstacle and the unit resumed working perfectly.

Thanks to your video, i was able to fix my s50 without breaking anything. All the best.

Thank you so much for this take apart tutorial. I had a single grain of rice stuck in the spinning laser contraption and it took down the whole system. Took it apart and fixed the whole unit.

Thank you so much! I was able to fix it before breaking it apart. It had a tiny piece of silicone stuck making it difficult to rotate. You are a life saver!

[janlepper]

Thank you. Step one did it. Take apart, clean, reconnect so connections, now little helper is humming along nicely again.

Hey thanks for the video. Your advice helped. Now we’re crossing our fingers that the Roborock runs problem free longer!

Thanks Nick! I got this error, found your video, and was quickly up and running again. I was sure this was going to be a huge problem to fix, but it was a quick fix thanks to you. I really appreciate your help!

Thank you for the battery hack. I've tried many things and was about to order LDS online when I saw ur video and gave a last try.Thank you for your video Nick. It saved money and time..

Great video, I just followed the clear directions and got my Roborock fixed. Thanks!

[anitaschinzel]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! Easy to follow along while watching. Now my vacuum finally vacuums again 😊

Thanks, connecting a 9V battery helped! It worked the second time - the first time I connected the battery to the motor for a short time and the vacuum cleaner worked for 30 minutes, then error 1 occurred again. The second time I connected the battery to the motor for a longer time and now everything works.

You're the best! Thanks so much for making the video - this fixed our error 1 problem.

super helpful, easy to understand, and straight to the point ! thank you so much ! no way i could have figured it out without this video !

[hanif_zack]

Damn, jump start works using 9V battery!! No need for new motor and laser. May god bless your good deed in giving this useful information

[Angeldus-husk]

Thanks! It help me solve my error 1. I had dust in the engine that made the laser struggle to rotate. Tumbs up for the quality and your recording/audio too.

Thank you for this.
I took too much of it apart, trying to get to the bottom of the red laser disk, but that was not necessary, as it’s rather complicated in the end and it looks fairly isolated from debris, my problem was hair on the axis of the motor, slowing it down.
