How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF before inspection.

  • 1. Check for airflow: With the robot ON and cleaning, place your hand near the exhaust vent. If there is no noticeable airflow and the robot is quiet, the fan is not running.
  • 2. Confirm bin and filter placement: Ensure the dust bin and filter are correctly installed and not blocking a safety interlock.
  • 3. Reboot robot: Power cycle the robot and test again.
  • 4. If suction remains off: The suction motor or its wiring is likely faulty and requires professional repair.
