I have similar issues with my box! Mine is a little different, I don't get litter in the machine itself. However, once opened I do remove the rake screws and remove the entire rack for soaking/cleaning. I also use a reusable metal pan and pan bags that fit over it for easier cleanup. You cannot screw the rake screws back too tight or the rake will get stuck. They are special screws that have spacers from the head of the screw to the thread, which allows the rake to move swivel back and forth. The rack does push crystals toward the back of the box and that build up is what causes the rake to get stuck also. Great video! I modified mine as well. I just removed the extra plastic strip completely as it doesn't have a great purpose that I could see.... I will steal your duck tape hack as one of the pins on mine broke too. Thank you!
The pin in the right side of my unit has also broke. Great idea with the duck tape! If you can next time you take it apart to clean it could you get me the number off the led mind has stopped working. Thank you
That round white wifi plug looks like the kind someone else posted was driving their dog nuts! Some signal or sound from it. They had to remove all of them from their house!
That seems like a lot of work to maintain, monitor, and clean. And with the possibility of the rake becoming stuck, it is not reliable when you are away from home.
very true....that is why I try to reset it using the wifi plug I can turn on and off remotely.. If that doesn't work I call my sister in law to try to fix it..if she can. lol. I always clean it if I'm going away for a few days/weeks.
Could a person just use that litter & scoop it? Cuz this looks like WAY too much adapting/adjusting/fixing! The company should hire you to improve their product!
Yes..if I can not get it to reset remotely (turning the white plug on and off remotely) I have someone come over and clean it like a regular litter box...hopefully the rake is fully retracted.

Are you using a plastic reusable pan, or the disposable? How long have yoy had this unit?
Two years....reusable pan
