There are two easy ways to confirm whether you can replace the wheel module.
1. Check the Serial Number. If the eight-digit is the letter N or Z, the robot is not modular.
Example: i557020NYYMMDDN4##### or i557020ZYYMMDDN4#####. If it's any other letter, the module can be replaced.
2. Flip the robot over and look for a battery door. If your robot has a battery door, then the bottom cover does not come off, and the wheel module cannot be replaced. In this case, please contact iRobot Customer Care.
If the robot has an original bottom cover with the 5 screws and no battery door, then the wheel module can be replaced.
