Whisker Litter-Robot 4 replacement parts
On the Litter-Robot 4 the only parts you buy on a schedule are the carbon filter (Whisker says monthly) and the waste drawer liners (about one a week for one cat), which come to roughly $355 over 3 years at full price. Seal strips, the globe liner, the laser board and the power supply are only replaced when worn or faulty. If your unit is still under the WhiskerCare warranty, Whisker sends many of these parts free through Replacement Parts in your account, so check that before you pay.

Tips to make parts last
- Change the liner every time you empty the drawer; Whisker says that is about once a week for one cat and twice a week for two.
- If your Litter-Robot 4 is under the WhiskerCare warranty, log in and use Replacement Parts before buying a globe liner, laser board or power supply, since Whisker supplies covered parts at no cost.
- Rising odor usually points to the seal strips around the upper and lower waste port, while litter leaks point to the strips on the lower front of the globe and the bezel, per Whisker's seal strip page.
- A flashing blue light bar is Whisker's drawer full indicator (DFI) sensor alert; work through the support steps and firmware check before ordering a new laser board.
- Autoship takes 30% off filters, liners and OdorTrap packs, which cuts the 3 year running cost noticeably.
Questions owners ask
How often should I change the Litter-Robot 4 carbon filter?
Whisker recommends a new carbon filter every month, so a $30 six pack lasts half a year. Homes with several cats may need to change it sooner.
Do I have to use Whisker brand liners?
Whisker sells custom fitted liners that fit the Litter-Robot 2, 3, 4, EVO and 5 drawers, in 10, 25 and 50 packs. The 50 pack at $35 is the cheapest per bag.
Is the OdorTrap pack required?
No. OdorTrap packs are optional, and Whisker presents them as an alternative to the carbon filter. If you use them, Whisker says to replace a pack every 2 weeks.
Which part fixes a flashing blue light on the Litter-Robot 4?
Flashing blue points to the drawer full indicator (DFI) sensors. Whisker lists the $50 laser board as the likely fix only after the troubleshooting steps have not cleared the fault.
