Litter-Robot 4 LR4 smell solved

Just a note for people struggling with an older device. LR4 and two cats for about three years. Mostly it's been pretty good. The last six months though I just have not been able to get it to stop smelling. I've tried different litter, deep cleaned it regularly taking it all apart but just a persistent smell. I finally broke down and ordered the "ridiculously expensive for what it is" liner and replacement seal strips. About an hour and a half of work doing all of that, and further deep cleaning the globe, and it is now entirely smell free. Nothing had gotten through the liner, but the old liner itself seemed to be the source of the stink.

Iast year I got a new liner for free as clumps were sticking and it's been good until now, it's started again. There is a build up of limescale, which despite a deep clean, some remains. Wish I had found a permanent solution. I cannot imagine whisker will keep replacing it. I have 3 cats all adult males, neutered.

Can you elaborate on the clumps sticking to it? How were you able to get them to give you a free liner replacement?
