Is anyone else waiting on a wheel kit for their Pentair Warrior SE? My robot was under warranty when the issue was identified back in February, but I still haven't received a new wheel kit. What good is a warranty if replacement parts aren't available for months?

R,
Where is it being repaired?
I had several wheel kits on backorder for several months, but received all of them last month.
Thanks,
Jim R.

Thanks Jim. The warranty is being handled from a vendor that's very popular with TFP. Maybe they forgot about me, so I'll follow up with them.
My Warrior SE just died after 2 years and 4 months. I'm curious... What made you order the wheel kit?
Mine just wouldn't turn on one day, so I watched a video where the guy removed the wheel and tracks and there is a little white bearing Marina told me can wear down over time and to try throwing some tape on it. So I taped it up with painters tape to get it to stick a bit better on the wheel. Low and behold, this morning I turned it on and the machine went across my entire pool. However, a few minutes later it died again so I'm wondering if maybe my issue could be solved by replacing the wheel kit? Thoughts?
Clearly the motor is okay, right? Because it fired up? Any other ideas?

23,
The motors may or may not be ok, it just depends on why they are not working.. In the big picture there is not much you can do to the motors that make sense for most robot owners...
But.. One of the things that will make the robot fail its self-test is if it takes too much effort to move the tracks.. If the robots thinks the motors are working too hard, the robot will fail its initial self-test and just shut off..
When the bearing surfaces have too much slop this makes it harder for the motors to move the tracks.. So, if the robot is having problems, it makes sense to try new wheel kits.. They don't cost much, and are pretty easy to replace.
