Possible Causes

Main brush belt (if used) broken or slipped, Brush motor connector loose, Gearbox stripped, Firmware not detecting stall

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot and remove it from the dock.

  • Check brush movement: Remove the main brush and ensure it spins freely by hand.
  • Inspect drive: With the brush removed, briefly start the robot and look into the brush cavity to see if the drive spindle turns (keep fingers clear).
  • If spindle does not turn: The Main Brush Motor Assembly or belt/gearbox is likely damaged and needs replacement.
  • Reseat connectors (advanced): Open the bottom cover and ensure the motor harness is firmly connected to the main PCB.
