Robot vacuum frequently gets stuck on door thresholds, rugs, or cables.

Possible Causes

Worn drive wheels, Weak wheel suspension springs, Low battery reducing torque, Thick or loose rugs

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot before freeing it from obstacles.

Steps to try:

  • 1. Prepare the environment: Remove loose cables and very thick rugs from the cleaning area or secure them.
  • 2. Check wheel tread: Inspect the rubber on both drive wheels. If smooth or cracked, replace the wheel assemblies.
  • 3. Test suspension: Press each wheel up and down; it should move freely. If stuck, clean the suspension area.
  • 4. Start with full charge: Ensure the robot begins cleaning with a fully charged battery to maximize climbing ability.
  • 5. Use virtual walls/no‑go zones: If supported by your Gorenje model, set no‑go zones in the app around problem areas.
