Possible Causes

Incorrect time set on robot, Schedule disabled in app, Firmware bug, Internal clock battery or circuit fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal access is required.

  • Verify time and date: In the Philips app or robot menu, ensure the current time and date are set correctly.
  • Check schedule settings: Confirm that scheduled cleaning is enabled and days/times are correctly configured.
  • Update firmware: Install any available firmware updates via the app.
  • Test with simple schedule: Set a schedule a few minutes in the future and observe whether the robot starts.
  • Service if still failing: If schedules never trigger despite correct settings, the internal clock or main PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
