Bagotte Overly Sensitive Cliff Sensors

Robot vacuum stops immediately when lifted slightly or when crossing dark-colored floors.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Cliff sensors misaligned, Dark carpets interpreted as cliffs, Sensor calibration drift, Damaged or low-output IR LEDs

Safety: Turn OFF the robot when working on sensors.

Steps:

Clean cliff sensors: Wipe all underside cliff sensor windows with a soft cloth.
Test on light floor: Run the robot on a light-colored, non-reflective floor to see if behavior improves.
Avoid very dark rugs: If the robot consistently stops on black or very dark carpets, consider excluding those areas or using virtual barriers.
If still oversensitive on normal floors: Replace the cliff sensor module set or have the main control board checked for calibration issues.
