Debris in main brush bearings, Worn main brush end caps, Foreign object in fan housing, Loose screws on bottom plate

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot and flip it over on a soft surface.

  • 1. Isolate the noise source:
    • Run the robot briefly upside down while holding it securely (avoid contact with spinning brushes) to identify whether noise comes from brush, wheels, or fan.
  • 2. Service main brush:
    • Remove the main brush and end caps.
    • Clean hair and debris from shafts and bearings.
    • Replace end caps or brush if worn or cracked.
  • 3. Check bottom plate and screws:
    • Tighten any loose screws on the bottom cover and brush guard.
  • 4. Fan noise (whine or rattle from inside body):
    • Remove dustbin and inspect fan inlet for foreign objects.
    • If noise persists, the fan bearings may be worn; replace the fan module.
