4 year old warrior SE. was moving only backwards and forwards- not turning.
Looked up on one of the threads- based on their advise listened for 3 different motors on startup- only 2 were working- the actuator was not turning.
Opened it up- the servo motor was bound up. Went to the a-z.com big internet store- bought a MG996R ( made sure it was quality with metal gears). Reassembled everything with plenty of silicone lube on all the seals.
robot is back in the pool and cleaning.

Wanted to add one more bit- after installing the new servo- power it up- it will go through its startup sequence and find its zero- the midline- only install the actuator arm then- so that the lines on the arm and motor are aligned ( sorry forgot to take a picture)
 
thanks, hope to do the same. But I can’t get the metal nut around the impeller motor off to open up the motor housing. Any advice. Tried channel locks and there is some rotation, but not coming loose.
