Possible Causes

Main brush or wheel jam, Faulty internal sensor causing safety stop, Weak battery unable to supply start current, Firmware glitch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot before inspection.

  • Check for jams: Remove the main and side brushes and inspect wheels for debris. Ensure all moving parts rotate freely.
  • Test without brushes: Run the robot briefly without brushes. If it moves normally, the issue is likely with a brush or brush motor.
  • Charge fully: Place the robot on the dock and charge for at least 3–4 hours, then test again.
  • Reset firmware: If supported, perform a factory reset via the app or button sequence (consult manual). If the issue persists, internal sensors or PCB may need service.
