How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the robot and remove it from the dock before opening the housing.
- Power cycle: Turn the robot off for several minutes, then power it back on. Sometimes a full reboot clears transient communication errors.
- Check external factors: Ensure the robot firmware and app are up to date using the Dreame app.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the top cover to access the main control board. Gently reseat all ribbon cables and connectors leading to LiDAR, bumper, cliff sensors, and wheel modules.
- Look for corrosion or damage: Inspect connectors for signs of moisture or oxidation. Clean lightly with contact cleaner if needed.
- Firmware recovery: If supported, perform a factory reset via the app or robot buttons. Reconnect to Wi‑Fi and update firmware.
- Replacement: If communication errors persist across modules, replace the main control board with a compatible Dreame part.
