How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF and flip it over on a soft surface.

  • 1. Remove main brush: Open the brush guard latch and lift out the main roller brush.
  • 2. Clean brush ends: Remove the end caps (if removable) and cut away hair and threads from both ends of the brush and the bearing areas.
  • 3. Inspect brush housing: Check inside the brush channel for stuck objects (toys, stones, socks). Remove any obstruction.
  • 4. Check brush bearings: Spin the brush by hand. If it feels rough or seized, replace the brush.
  • 5. Motor test: With the brush removed, start a cleaning cycle and observe if the brush motor shaft spins freely. If it does not spin or makes burning smells, the motor assembly should be replaced.
