Possible Causes

Cliff sensors covered with dust, Cliff sensor windows scratched or obscured, Cliff sensor harness loose, Failed infrared emitter/receiver on cliff sensor board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the robot and flip it over onto a soft surface.

  • Locate cliff sensors: Identify the downward-facing sensors along the front underside of the robot.
  • Clean sensor windows: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe each sensor window. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water (no chemicals) and dry immediately.
  • Remove heavy dust: Use compressed air to blow out dust from sensor recesses.
  • Test on light floor: Place the robot on a light-colored, flat surface away from edges and start a cleaning cycle.
  • Check for false triggers: If E4 appears only on very dark or black carpets, the sensors may be overly sensitive; try enabling any "carpet mode" or adjusting settings in the Laresar app if available.
  • If E4 persists everywhere: The cliff sensor board or wiring may be defective. Accessing it requires removing the bottom cover and replacing the cliff sensor module.
