How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF and remove the main brush.

  • 1. Deep clean brush and housing: Remove all hair and debris from the main brush, end caps, and brush cavity.
  • 2. Inspect brush ends: Ensure the end caps rotate freely and are not melted or deformed.
  • 3. Check motor connector: Open the bottom cover and verify the main brush motor connector is firmly attached to the main PCB.
  • 4. Test on different surfaces: Run the robot on hard floors and low-pile carpets to see if stalls occur only on thick carpets.
  • 5. Replace motor or brush assembly: If stalls continue, replace the Electrolux main brush motor assembly or complete brush module.
