Robot vacuum drives in circles or cannot maintain a straight line.

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

One drive wheel slipping, Debris in one wheel, IMU/gyro calibration drift, Unequal wheel speed due to motor wear

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF and flip it over for inspection.

Inspect wheels: Check both drive wheels for debris and tread wear. Clean and remove any obstructions.
Flat surface test: Place the robot on a flat, hard floor and start a clean. Observe whether one wheel spins faster or slips.
Reset robot: Perform a power reset or factory reset to clear navigation data.

If circling persists, the IMU/gyro or one drive wheel motor module may be failing and should be replaced.
