How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal work required initially.

  • Reposition markers: Lay the Neato boundary markers flat on the floor with no gaps or overlaps.
  • Test with new strip: Try a fresh boundary strip to rule out a weak magnet.
  • Clean underside sensors: Wipe the underside of the robot, especially near the front, where boundary sensors are located.
  • If still ignored: The boundary detection sensor may be defective and require replacement.
