Maytronics Dolphin Repair And Troubleshooting

Maytronics Dolphin repair is very limited. Limited to the outside of your Dolphin Automatic Pool Cleaner.

Joe, new owner of Dolphin Pool Supply (new window) (631)467-3173, Ronkonkoma, NY, has many new and used parts for Maytronics Dolphin Pool Cleaners. Joe has the diagnostic equipment and has a mail-in robot repair program.Please remember, Joe needs to make a living and I am certain he will dispense as much free info possible, but anything worth having is worth paying for. My goal is to keep Joe in business as a reliable and fairly priced parts/repair dealer.

2. With the machine upside down, remove the screws holding the debris shield and remove the shield.

4. Gently pry off the sideplate. It may need much persuasion due to dirt buildup on the sideplate pegs that slide into the body.

5. Remove the drive track. The system is direct drive with the drive gear in the center. Drive gear and pulleys slide off the spindles.

The motor assembly inside the robot body is held in place by screws accessible once the sideplates are removed. Inside the box is the pump, drive motor, circuit board and a counterweight to offset the buoyancy of the air filled box.

Opening this box creates the challenge of airtight reassembly. The gasket must be re-used and I suggest a good coating of silicone to keep it pliable and easier to slide into position.
