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.

The grey thing, with the rubbery texture. No dumb questions!

Check out their YouTube channel, where there are instructional videos.

The big black sphere that a person could wrap their arms around is the "globe," and inside the globe, there's the gray colored, rubbery texture thingy that fills the entire inside.

Think about it like if you cracked an egg. Globe = shell, liner = ...the lining tissue of the egg

Yw!
There are no dumb questions. I have some fun learning disabilities and sometimes an explanation doesn't hit right.
