Dolphin Active 20..Not working

[HarryMichael]

My 7-8 year old Dolphin Active 20 has stopped working. Started acting up a few years ago. After turning it on it would stop after 30 minutes or so. Front blue light would still be on. Messed with swivel..unplugged/plugged it back in and would do full cycle. It worked pretty much all the time until last year then it stopped working. Control box and cord was replaced under warranty 6 years ago and cord was replaced again about 4 years ago and it only came out of the pool when someone was in the pool.
So I'm not sure I want to spend the money fixing the Active 20..may cost half of what a new Nautilus would cost. I'm thinking of replacing it with the Dolphin Nautilus CC (599.00)...using it for a few years until prices come down on the cordless ones. What do y'll think of the Dolphin Nautilus CC? One brush vs two and no Swivel, (not sure that work at all). Opinions??? Thanks...

Im running on 5 years now on my S200 and im about to change gears due to wear. Can you take your robot out of the water and run it? If the light is still on it means the motor is still working and the gear has ground down and is skipping. You can order parts from marina pool and spa.

Won't run in or out of pool.

Can you hear the motor running or not at all? If not at all then you will need to open it up and find out whats wrong. That is if you are DIY.

Time for Maintenance of "Robotina" Maytronics S200

A little history, Robotina was bought 3 years ago from a seller on Ebay. He listed it as a Refurbished unit and got about 200 bucks savings from a new one. At first few months Robotina would live 1-3 days underwater. I got lazy and let her live 24/7/365 except for few minutes while wash down and...
