How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the housing.
- Step 1 – Confirm pattern: Note the angles at which the vacuum stops. If it is consistent, the tilt sensor is likely involved.
- Step 2 – Reset unit: Remove the battery for several minutes, then reinstall and test.
- Step 3 – Inspect sensor (advanced): Open the housing and locate the tilt/impact sensor on the PCB. Check for loose mounting or cracked solder joints.
- Step 4 – Reseat or replace PCB: If the sensor is loose, resolder or replace the control PCB. If the issue persists, consult Princess support for firmware or board replacement.
