Possible Causes

Dock placed in poor location, Dirty IR sensors, Weak battery preventing return, Navigation map corruption

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the robot on the floor while testing to avoid falls.

Steps to try:

  • 1. Reposition dock: Place the Gorenje dock against a straight wall with at least 0.5 m free space on each side and 1.5 m in front.
  • 2. Clean front sensors: Wipe the robot's front IR windows and the dock's IR emitters with a dry cloth.
  • 3. Start from dock: Always start cleaning with the robot on the dock so it can reference its home position.
  • 4. Reset map: In the app, delete the existing map and let the robot create a new one during a full cleaning run.
  • 5. Check battery health: If the robot stops far from the dock with low battery, consider replacing the battery pack.
