Litter Robot Says Drawer Is Full? ›

Check for obstructions blocking the drawer full indicator (DFI) sensors. There are two sensors inside the base, above where the waste drawer would sit. Debris, such as dust or cat fur, can interfere with the DFI sensor. This can cause the unit to inaccurately trigger a drawer-full indication.

The OmniSense system helps track litter and waste drawer levels. During each clean cycle, the DFI (drawer full indicator) sensor, positioned on the bezel, measures the level of waste in the drawer as the waste disposal opening in the globe passes over the waste drawer.

Short press the Reset button, then short press the Cycle button to run a Clean cycle. Check your app to ensure that the waste drawer level displayed is accurate. Successful: If your waste drawer gauge is accurate (within 5%), you've been successful.

For one average-sized cat, you'll need to empty the waste drawer about once per week, and for two cats, twice every 7-10 days is typical. To change the drawer liner in Litter-Robot 3 (with or without Connect), simply pull out the drawer, unhook the edges of the liner, and dispose.

With a Litter-Robot, you only need to add litter when you notice the litter level has dropped below the raised fill line. Empty the old litter completely every month or two.

Clean the globe with Litter-Robot Cleaner Spray or Cleaner Wipes, or with water and a mild soap. There are no electronic components in the globe that can be damaged by soap and water. If the globe has become extremely dirty, it can be soaked and cleaned with a water hose.

There are sensors located in the top of the bezel, called curtain sensors, that accurately measure the capacity of the waste drawer. During each Clean cycle, the DFI sensor will measure the level of waste within the waste drawer as the waste port passes over the waste drawer.

Vacuum the bezel area where the sensors are located. Debris, such as dust or cat fur, can interfere with the operation of the curtain sensors. This can cause the unit to inaccurately measure the waste drawer level and litter level, as well as cause false cat detects.

TP-Link Kasa lights will turn fuschia when the Litter-Robot waste drawer is full.
