Robot announces E16 and may shut down unexpectedly

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked airflow causing motor overheating, Running in very hot environment, Clogged filters, Failing temperature sensor on motor or PCB

Safety: Turn the robot OFF and remove from dock.

Allow to cool: Let the robot sit powered off for at least 30–60 minutes in a cool, dry room.
Improve airflow: Empty the dust bin, clean filters, and clear any clogs in the suction path.
Check environment: Avoid running the robot in rooms above 95°F (35°C) or in direct sunlight.

If E16 recurs under normal conditions with clean filters, an internal temperature sensor or motor may be failing and should be serviced.
