Not an easy teardown. I made numerous assumptions which turned out to be wrong. Reminded me of my field servicing days - working on machines I'd never seen before. You just have to muddle through.

7 years later, great helpful video, many thanks.
What is. That led I need to buy one
I have a slightly different chip mode. The pins printing are in a slightly different order. RX+ and – are the first 2. Anyway, I can't figure out what's wrong with it. If I power it OFF then ON, it works for 2 activations, then it's completely dead. Any ideas?
Edit: I've put it back together without doing anything and it seems to working fine. No clue what was wrong with it. Maybe the IR diode was offset and the received did not get the signal? Weird, but happy I don't need to replace it, for now.
gonna buy this. I have bought soap dispensers that got wrecked after a few months of use. But this would be better built.
Is the product working now?
Great… It saved much of my time to repair mine…
Merci pour cette vidéo
I am Indian viewer .Thanks bro making a this informative video.once again thanks a lot.
Merci beaucoup ! J'ai pu changer mes piles. Trop cool !
🤩🤩😂😂
Literally found this video to see if I could fix my dispenser that has stoped working. Yeah, this is a lot. I’m buying a new one. Thanks. 👏🏾
Does anybody knows type of IR transmitter LED which is used in this automatic soap dispenser? I mean exact type f.e. based on wavelength or other parameters
That compartment which we have to open is not opening at all as the plastic has not been carved to open, I tried the knife also to break the seals on either side as the cut is there but not carved properly to open
Oh man I should have watched it before instead of opening mine! Now I am unable to make it work 🥲
ours stopped working so before removing it with a spare one I wanted to look inside. had no "gunge" on mine – maybe it disappared over time. therefore i just undid the top tube bit, then pulled the LED through the shaft as I was removing the bottom. too bad i did not check on youtube before. tried just about everything – except.. shorting the receiver pins.. 🙂 maybe that would've helped to understand the issue.
i still wonder why i see no light on cellphone camera coming from the top IR diode, hm…
Happy the batteries are long lasting but why does the thing give so much stress to get the battery compartment opened? Not a nice experience…smh
Thanks Julian, was going to throw mine away and buy a new one but took mine apart following your post and fixed it. My problem was the "slide" at 16.40 was stuck. Bit of force with a screwdriver and shifted it. "Cucumber Hydrating Splash is now on my hand", thanks a lot.
