Hello. Im looking for some help. I have a Roomba Discovery (out of warranty) and recently have been having problems with it. It starts, goes forward, then reverse, then turns, then shuts off. It does an "Uhh-Ohh" then pauses, then does another "Uhh-ohh". I ran the diagnostic modes and found out that the right wheel drop switch/sensor is faulty. When the wheel is all the way up, the sensor is not indicating this, however if I drop the wheel just slightly, it gives an OK reading...Dropping the wheel further again results in the switch indicating that the wheel is dropped. So, Im looking for any advice. I searched high and low for similar problems on the board and have not found anything about faulty wheel drop switches. Is there a replacement part for this? How easy is it to get to this switch? Can I disable this switch somehow? Any recommendations. Thanks
