How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn the robot OFF before working on the wheel.

  • Clear obstructions: Remove hair, string, or debris from around the wheel hub and axle using tweezers or scissors.
  • Check suspension movement: Ensure the wheel can move up and down without sticking. Clean any dirt buildup in the wheel well.
  • Test operation: Place the robot on a flat floor and start a cleaning cycle. If the error persists, the left wheel module or encoder may need replacement.
