This is the genuine Maytronics replacement side panel for the Dolphin C5, supplied complete with its integrated gasket in black. The side panel forms a key structural element of the robot’s outer body, protecting internal drive and electronic components while maintaining the sealed integrity of the chassis during operation.<\/p>\n
The side panel sits flush against the lateral face of the Dolphin C5 chassis, providing both physical protection for internal parts and controlled access to the drive train assembly. The accompanying gasket creates a watertight seal between the panel and the body, preventing pool water and debris ingress into the motor bay. A damaged or warped gasket is among the most common causes of drive-section contamination in the C5 series.<\/p>\n
This part is confirmed compatible with the Maytronics Dolphin C5 and the Dolphin C6 CB. The C5 and C6 CB share the same core chassis platform, making this panel a direct fit across both variants. Always verify your robot’s model number before ordering.<\/p>\n
Replace this panel if you observe cracking, warping or discolouration of the existing panel, if the robot begins to show unexpected water intrusion into the drive section, or if the gasket has perished, shrunk or no longer seats flat against the body. A failing seal can lead to accelerated wear of internal motors and drive components.<\/p>\n
Genuine Maytronics parts are dimensionally matched to factory tolerances, ensuring the gasket compresses correctly and the panel clips lock without stress. Aftermarket panels frequently use softer plastics that warp under UV and pool-chemical exposure, compromising the seal far sooner. Using a genuine part maintains the robot’s performance and protects any remaining warranty coverage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
