Maytronics Dolphin Supreme M4/M5 M400/M500 side panel grey - 9980863

Maytronics Dolphin Supreme M4/M5 M400/M500 side panel grey

This is the genuine OEM grey side panel for the Dolphin Supreme M4, M5, M400, and M500 robotic pool cleaners. It forms part of the outer chassis shell, enclosing and protecting the internal drive and filtration components along the lateral face of the robot. When the existing panel cracks, warps, or breaks away from its fixing points, this is the direct replacement.

What this side panel does in the Dolphin

The side panel is a structural outer-body component that sits flush against the chassis frame, shielding the internal track drive assembly and lateral housing from pool-water turbulence and physical impact. It maintains the correct hydrodynamic profile of the robot and, where applicable, anchors related trim components such as side floats and track safety covers. A damaged panel disrupts the robot’s water-flow geometry and leaves internal parts exposed.

Which Dolphin models it fits

Part 9980863 is confirmed for the Dolphin Supreme M4, Supreme M5, M400, and M500. The parent product listed for this part is the Dolphin Supreme M5. Always cross-reference your robot’s part diagram before ordering, as cosmetically similar panels exist for other Supreme variants and are not interchangeable.

Signs it needs replacing

Visible cracks or stress fractures along the panel body are the most common failure indicator, typically caused by impact against pool walls or prolonged UV exposure. A panel that no longer clips flush to the chassis frame will rattle during operation and can interfere with track movement. If pieces have broken away entirely, order this panel before running the robot to prevent further chassis damage.

How to install it

Remove the robot from the pool and place it on a flat surface. Release the retaining clips or screws securing the damaged panel to the chassis frame — a Phillips screwdriver is all that is typically required. Align the replacement panel with the chassis mounting points, press until the clips engage fully, and verify there is no flex or gap at the seam. The entire swap takes around ten minutes and requires no specialist tools.
