Possible Causes

Shorted motor (wheel, brush, or fan), Damaged wiring harness, Faulty main PCB power stage, Liquid ingress causing shorts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the robot and disconnect from the dock. If you suspect liquid ingress, do not attempt to charge or operate the unit.

Steps to try:

  • 1. Inspect for liquid damage: Check for signs of moisture inside the dustbin area, around the wheels, and under the top cover. If wet, allow the robot to dry for at least 48 hours in a warm, dry place (no direct heat).
  • 2. Check for burnt smell: A burnt odor from vents or underside suggests a failed motor or PCB.
  • 3. Isolate components (advanced): A technician can disconnect motors (brush, fan, wheels) one by one from the main board and test to identify which component triggers E14.
  • 4. Replace faulty module: Replace the identified shorted motor or wiring harness. If no peripheral is shorted, the main PCB may be defective and must be replaced.
  • 5. Professional service recommended: Due to fire and shock risk, overcurrent faults should be handled by an authorized Gorenje service center.
