Robot high-centered on obstacle, Low furniture trapping the top cover or LDS turret, Thick rug edge blocking movement, Deformed bottom plate or bumper

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot before freeing it from tight spaces.

  • 1. Manually free the robot:
    • Lift the robot off the obstacle or from under furniture.
    • Inspect the area and remove or block problematic obstacles.
  • 2. Check for physical damage:
    • Inspect the bottom plate and bumper for warping or cracks that reduce clearance.
  • 3. Adjust environment:
    • Use virtual walls or no-go zones in the Xiaomi Home app to block low furniture or high thresholds.
    • Remove loose cables and small objects from the floor.
  • 4. Test on open floor:
    • Place the robot in an open area and start a cleaning cycle to confirm normal movement.
  • 5. If the robot frequently gets stuck even on flat floors:
    • Inspect the suspension springs and wheels for damage.
    • Replace damaged wheel modules or bottom chassis if necessary.
