Hi everyone,
I have a Polaris P945 pool robot, and the left wheels stopped turning. I opened it up (removed the fan, back panel, etc.) and found that the motor on that side looks slightly burnt (Part #41JFS3146).
Is it possible to replace just this motor? Or is it sealed and not meant for repair? I’m also concerned about water leakage if I try to replace it myself.
The alternative seems to be replacing the whole motor assembly or backplate, which I believe costs over $500—at that point, I’m wondering if it’s worth just buying a new robot.

Questions:
- Has anyone successfully replaced this motor before?
- If not DIY, are there service shops that handle this kind of repair?
- Any thoughts on whether the repair cost is worth it vs. replacement?
