My flat cable developed a kink/short near the connector. Replaced the cable with one from ebay matching this description: FFC / FPC Flat Flexible Ribbon Cable 1.0 Pitch 4 Pin 300mm for a few $. Skinny cable but if you align the connectors parallel with travel, it works well and I got 4 cables so I have spares.

Buenas tardes porque cuando conecto el cargador solo dice mantenimiento en rojo?

I just spent 2 hours figuring this out. That cable ribbon actually disconnects from both sides. I high recommend you carefully pull it off both ends after retracting the tiny retaining clips. Clean it off with rubbing alcohol, including where it plugs into and if you have co2, blast them. Then instead of putting it back in the same way, swap it around so that they ends are going in the opposing inputs if that makes sense. It's an old IT trick I picked up when cable stop working the way they used to. Just reversve them and it usually makes a good connection. These crappy ribbons will wear out with regular use, that's something made sure of. Planned Obsolesence is real. Good Luck as this company went out of business and they no longer sell this item.

Litter Maid ceased sales of their litter box 😿

I just got mine in the mail and installed! Thanks for making this! Its genius

I raised the box a foot up on platform and use a large bag in a cardboard box underneath. It last a long time now before i have to throw out bag.

Appreciate your video. Mine died 4 days before 1-year. These things are designed to fail and Littermaid isn't interested in honoring their warranty. My ribbon cable has a break in it so no easy fix for me. I will not be buying anything Littermaid or any Spectrum Brands subsidiary in the future. Going to attempt to scrape the insulation off the ribbon cable and solder directly with some jumper wire.

I'm going to explain with mine and hopefully someone can tell me if this helped them fix theirs with mine the green light works blinking and still but the rake will not push forward when I have it attached to the litter box bottom piece even if I push it but what's weird is if I detach the top and push the rake it will go up and down with no problems is there an alternate solution? Someone please let me know this is very annoying

If the ribbon is absolutely fine and the rake remains stuck at the end what else could I try

I hope this will fix mine

Ribbon cable issue. One of ribbon cable side was heavy used and sometimes lost connection. Disconnected cable and changed sides. Now it’s working well, but who knows for how long.

Is it a litter-mate 3.1? Or will it work with 3.2? Or is there a litter-mate 3.0?

Do you take product ideas ?

I can't figure out how to take the rake off. I tried pressing down on the two buttons on top as the instructions say, but the only thing I achieved was getting the rake to swivel around the motor and lock in a perpendicular position. I can't figure out how to take it off. The manual in picture Q indicates that the whole motor apparatus lifts out for cleaning. Is that accurate?

This totally worked. Thank you so much

Is there a reset button? where is it?

Have you ever replaced a switch in an automateted litter pan?

Lmao that shirt is perfect

Hello. This is my 3rd LitterMaid. Just opened the box, plugged it in, and the red light continously blinks. No movement at all. Litter is below the max level. I wonder if the rake is in right. Your thoughts are most welcome.

How do you disconnect the ribbon?

Theses things need to be recalled because I’ve been working on mine for two hours and can’t get it now I’m checking the ribbon wish me luck

Just replaced the ribbon cable on the one just under 1 year old, you should mention to get the outer cover off you need to slide the side cover down while on it's side to get to the last 2 screws on the inside. Then the cover will come off. I just so happened to have parts from an older cat pan so I had the ribbon cable. The one that came out was damaged and have looked but cannot find it.. I do have another old litter maid that I will take apart and see if I can fix. But back to the new one I also tried to replace the motor with an older good motor but there must be some internal differences as it would rake then go into clean mode by itself.. If the motor is bad on the older one I have this new motor.. If anyone has any clue where to by that ribbon cable please post. It is a 4 pin 11mm x 298.45mm or 7/16 x 11 3/4**************************************************************************************************************UPDATE ON LITTERMAID, Motor would go forward and back only about an inch took motor assembly apart found motor went bad smokes. Now looking for a replacement motor for 3rd generation box and will use this as a back up in addition to the new box littermaid sent me.. I have the 980 back in line.. I am going to see if the motor in the 980 is the same as I have a spare one of them..

Podrias ayudarme porque el rastrillo cuando lo pongo en modo CLEAN avanza pero cuando tira la popó 💩 ya no se regresa 🥲 gracias

Hola podrías decirme el porqué mi arenero cuando lo pongo en modo CLEAN si avanza pero cuando tira la popo después de eso se queda parado el rastrillo y ya no avanza ya revise los engranes y si esta bien🥲 silo funciona cuando lo pongo en modo ON podrías ayudarme con eso gracias

Hola porque mi arenero cuando lo pongo en modo limpieza no se regresa despues de que tira la popo?

Shouldn't this come with the litter maid why buy something that doesn't come already made wel

The box is facing the wrong way. I couldn't see what you were doing.

Can you come and fix the litter maid litter box for me cause I can't do it

Good instructional video, but the box should have been facing us a little more so we could actually see what you were doing :) Just an observation....

mine is stuck in position of emptying shit in tray. how I fix it?

Hi I ordered mine with but it came without bolts to hold it on. It just arrived today.

do you ship to canada?

This is great! I don’t see a disconnect in my ribbon so I just adjusted it and motor started up but once I re assembled it went back to not workin and green light blinking

Do you have any suggestions for purchasing a replacement rake? Despite it being removable LitterMaid DOESN'T sell a replacement.

My littermaid cleaning cycle will not stop. Any suggestions?

Question, some time now, how much of a problem putting in a stronger motor? My cat holds the cleaning arm just for fun sometimes and likes to jam it for fun..little bastard lol let me know what you think..👍

I need to see how the Rake is taken off

Available on canada?

You would think with how expensive these are they would be made better. Thank you for this.

Mine just broke ordered a new one but I am definitely going to try this fix. I have 4 cats so having three boxes would be great

it's a shame they cant just make a better product so we dont need to look up how to fix it

Brotha I am so so so so so sorry that they kicked y’all to the curb… just go ahead and design and patent another product🙏🏼

Hello, unfortunately for us the ribbon cable is dead … I think the design is bad … For everyone you can hot glue the cable if you don’t want it to disconnect at all. Or use a throng tape and tape it to the connector …

Hi! Work with nature miracle multi cat ? Is the same box greetings!

I'm glad your perfecting it but it still has lots of problems and shouldn't be sold in this condition. When you have to make RUclips videos on how to fix out of the box problems you should probably recall your product

My inner ribbon is broke how can I get parts to replace it so I don't have to throw out the entire litter box?

how do you change the whole box of litter?

I wanted to share my experience with the third edition. I've been using it for well over a year without too many issues. Sometimes the litter will get too thick for the plastic rake to move through, especially if my cats move the litter in a big pile. Overall it's worked well however I've had to repair it multiple times with the most recent time being unable to repair it. The first time the switch went out so I had to modify the switch area and use an aftermarket switch. That worked well with no more issues. I also haven't had any issues with the motor. The biggest problem I've had with this unit as of recently is the plastic gears attached to the motor. The teeth on the main gear broke on me a few weeks ago. Luckily I was able to 3D print a new gear replacement. Unfortunately that one just broke and now the unit is dead. I accidentally broke off the reverse switch inside the motor compartment that sends the rake in the opposite direction once it reaches the end or beginning of the job. That is more of a repair than I can manage so I'll be buying a new one. Overall though it's been great!

On mine the ribbon cable cracked a bit about an inch from the motor connection. How do I get another one. Was just going to solder wires on the connections. This was hard to diagnose because when you straightened the wire to test it would make contact again. It only fails when fully bent at the top of the box.

will the baguettes fit on ALL littermaid models? orjust the 3rd edition?
