Possible Causes
Clogged filters restricting airflow, Robot used in very hot environment, Failing temperature sensor on main board, Motor overheating due to drag
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If the robot feels hot, power it off and let it cool in a shaded, ventilated area for at least 30 minutes.
- Clean filters and airflow path: Remove the dustbin and filter. Tap the filter gently to remove dust or replace it if heavily clogged. Clear any dust from the suction inlet and exhaust vents.
- Check brushes and wheels: Remove hair and debris that could cause motors to work harder and overheat.
- Use in proper environment: Operate the robot only within the temperature range specified in the manual (typically around 5–35°C / 41–95°F). Avoid direct sunlight and hot rooms.
- Test after cooling: Once cooled and cleaned, restart the robot and run a short cleaning cycle.
- If C16 recurs quickly: The internal temperature sensor or a motor may be failing. Diagnosis requires internal access and should be performed by Wyze support or a technician.
