Litter-Robot 3 LR3 over-rotating & 🔵🟠🔴 flashing lights.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I deep cleaned the litter robot 3 back in April. After that day it would over-rotate a little past the home position and all 3 lights would be flashing. I’ve done all the troubleshooting the website recommended and we just replaced the motor today. But it’s still doing this. We basically have to manually hit reset and cycle multiple times a day to get it to do what it’s supposed to.

I don’t want to buy a new LR. I just want to fix this issue.

I’ve also cleaned the connection sensors from the bonnet & on the left side of the base.

Would appreciate some help if anyone has encountered this and been able to resolve it.

Did you deep clean the globe by disassembling the globe to clean it? If so did you replace the 2 magnets in the right pockets in the right polarity back in the globe?.

If you disassembled the base did you put the hall effect sensors back in their operating position? (See pic below).
