Possible Causes

Hair wrapped around caster axle, Dirt packed in caster socket, Rusted or worn caster pin, Damaged caster housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot and flip it over.

  • Remove caster: Pull the front caster wheel assembly straight out of its socket.
  • Clean thoroughly: Remove hair and debris from the wheel, axle, and socket. Use tweezers and a dry cloth.
  • Check rotation: Ensure the wheel spins freely on its axle and the stem rotates smoothly in the socket.
  • Replace if needed: If the wheel is flat-spotted, cracked, or still stiff after cleaning, replace it with a genuine Wyze caster assembly.
  • Reinstall and test: Push the caster back into place until it clicks and test the robot's movement.
