Navigation / Mapping Inefficiency
Robot vacuum’s cleaning pattern is inefficient; it misses large areas or repeats the same area excessively.

Possible Causes
Outdated firmware, Obstructed sensors, Complex room layout, Corrupted map data
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal access required.
Steps:
- 1. Clean all sensors: Wipe front, side, and underside sensors and any camera lens with a soft, dry cloth.
- 2. Update firmware: Use the Miele app to check for and install any available firmware updates.
- 3. Reset map: If your model supports mapping, delete the existing map and allow the robot to create a new one with a full cleaning run.
- 4. Reduce clutter: Remove temporary obstacles (toys, cables) that can confuse navigation.
When to call a technician: If navigation remains erratic after cleaning sensors and resetting maps, there may be a fault in the navigation sensors or main PCB that requires service.
