Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and unplug the dock if you need to move it.
Cool down:
- Move the robot to a cool, shaded area.
- Let it rest powered OFF for at least 20–30 minutes.
Check airflow:
- Clean the dust bin, filters, and suction inlet to ensure proper airflow.
- Do not operate the robot with a missing or saturated filter.
Environmental check:
- Avoid using the robot in rooms above 35°C (95°F) or in direct sunlight for long periods.
Test:
- After cooling and cleaning, power ON and start a cleaning cycle. If E16 recurs quickly, an internal temperature sensor or motor may be failing.
Advanced: Persistent overtemperature errors require inspection of the suction motor and mainboard temperature sensors by a technician.
