What does a robot do when it realizes it does not like one of its parts?

I think Asimov’s three robotic laws come into play:
1) A Robot shall never carry out any action which will cause any injury to any
human being.
2) A Robot shall always obey a human being’s orders provided the first law is
not violated.
3) A Robot shall always try to protect itself, provided the first two laws are
not violated.
If a robot wants to destroy itself to remove a merely distasteful part, the
third law would be a problem. However, another robot could perform the
destruction (best when done suddenly and without warning). Now, this might seem
an offense in human law, but for robots it’s perfectly legal.
But it should be noted that in 2156, during a robot labor dispute, there were
several instances of cheap clone parts being planted at robocide scenes, after
the fact. Not that I’m questioning the Rizmit’s motives... ;-)
