Robot vacuum smells like burning or hot plastic during use

Immediate safety: Turn the robot OFF, remove from dock, and stop using it until inspected. Unplug the dock if you suspect electrical issues.

• Inspect main brush: Remove the brush and clean thoroughly. Check for melted plastic or discoloration around the ends.
• Check for clogs: Inspect the suction inlet, dust bin, and filters for heavy clogs and clear them.
• Smell test: With the brush removed, briefly power on the robot. If the burning smell comes from inside the body, stop immediately.

Persistent burning smell indicates a failing motor or electrical fault. Do not continue using; have the suction motor assembly and wiring inspected and replaced as needed.
