Introduction |
| This guide is for the Surepet microchip pet feeders with serial number below E020 -0400001. These contain a modular motor cartridge that Surepet used to replace - these modules are not made anymore. | | | In this disassembly I show how to remove and replace the arms, and resolve the issue of the lid disengaging from the motor. The lid may not open when the motor turns, resulting in the motor spinning nonstop. You might be able to manually open and close the lid, and other symptoms may include a ticking sound where the motor tries to turn when it shouldn't. | | | I also found two great videos showing disassembly and reassembly for cleaning (not my videos!), but they're in German. Feel free to follow along - steps 5 and 6 in this guide, repair-specific steps relating to the motor, would be the only new information not given in the videos. | | | [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMbra9bau-Q&ab_channel=MarenPeters|here|new_window=true] | | | [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CN1a8JBpcU&t=771s&ab_channel=MarenPeters|and here|new_window=true] | | | I also mention that the arms can be replaced with 3d printed parts - I don't have any print files because I haven't needed them yet, but I could make them if enough people want them (at least for the arms, they seem simple enough). |
