Possible Causes
Worn drive wheels reducing clearance, Weak wheel suspension springs, Thick or loose rugs, Excessive cables on floor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the robot before freeing it from obstacles.
- Optimize environment: Secure or remove loose cables, tuck rug edges under, and avoid very thick rugs in the cleaning path.
- Check wheel condition: Inspect drive wheels for worn treads or damage. Replace if the rubber is smooth or cracked.
- Test on different surfaces: Run the robot in a simpler area to confirm it moves normally on flat floors.
- If still easily stuck: The wheel suspension may be weak or damaged and may require replacement of the drive wheel assemblies.
