Possible Causes
Worn drive wheels with reduced traction, Loose or low‑hanging rugs, Excess cables on floor, Low ground clearance due to debris buildup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the robot before freeing it.
- Prepare environment: Use cable clips or covers to secure loose wires. Remove or tape down lightweight rugs with long fringes.
- Clean wheel treads: Wipe the drive wheels with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve traction.
- Check for debris under chassis: Remove any buildup that reduces ground clearance.
- Use no‑go zones (if supported): In the Hoover app, set virtual barriers around problem areas.
- If still getting stuck: Consider replacing worn drive wheel assemblies to restore traction and climbing ability.
