Common Issues and Fixes for Home Vacuuming Robots

Cause: If the robot fails to operate upon startup or doesn't power on, it could be due to weak or faulty batteries, unstable power source, hardware or software issues.

Robot Doesn't Power On or Isn't Functional

Solution:

- Check if the robot has sufficient battery or power supply. Try recharging the batteries or replacing them if necessary.

- Review the activity schedule and ensure the robot is set to operate at the current time.

- Ensure the robot is in normal operation mode and not locked.

Cause: Abnormal movement or constant collisions of the robot may be due to faulty collision sensors or obstructed/dirty pathways, malfunctioning infrared sensors, or navigation software errors.

Robot Moves Abnormally or Constantly Collides

Solution:

- Clean the sensors and collision sensors on the robot to ensure they function properly.

- Check and replace malfunctioning sensors, update the software to fix navigation errors.

- Check for any obstacles obstructing the robot's path, and remove them from the robot's route.

Cause: The robot's failure to return to the charging dock may be due to the user moving the charging dock to a different location, malfunctioning dock return sensors, or weak Wi-Fi signals.

Robot Doesn't Automatically Return to Charging Dock

Solution:

- Place the charging dock in an easily accessible location and avoid surrounding obstacles.

- Consider the placement of the charging dock and ensure the robot has a strong enough Wi-Fi signal to return to the charging dock.

Cause: The robot's ineffective cleaning may be due to the robot's feet and brushes getting tangled with hair or pet fur, clogged filters, incorrect cleaning schedules, or inappropriate settings.

Robot Doesn't Clean Effectively

Solution:

- Clean the vacuuming robot to ensure no hair or tangled fur remains inside the machine or replace it if necessary.

- Adjust the schedule and set the vacuuming robot according to the condition of the floor and your needs.

Cause: Remote control malfunction may be due to Bluetooth disconnection between the mobile device and the vacuuming robot. Or it could be due to interference with the infrared signals or wireless signals on the robot. If there are many interfering devices in the area or unstable signals, remote control may encounter issues.

Remote Control Not Functioning

Solution:

- Check if the mobile device is connected to the vacuuming robot. If disconnected, reconnect and continue usage.

- Clean the vacuuming robot to ensure no obstacles or dirt obstruct the infrared lights or sensor components on the robot.

Cause: If the clock on the robot or the remote control device is not set to the correct time, the robot may not operate according to the set schedule. Alternatively, this issue may arise from unintentional deletion of the cleaning schedule.

Robot Doesn't Follow Set Schedule

Solution:

- Ensure that the clock on the robot and the remote control device (app or remote control) are set to the correct time zone and time.

- Regularly update the latest version for your mobile device and robot control application. If necessary, delete the current schedule and set up a new schedule.

- If the above steps don't resolve the issue, try resetting the robot to its factory settings and reconfigure the schedule.

Cause: Suddenly, the robot emits loud noise and weaker suction than usual may be due to the brush being clogged with pet hair, fur, and debris. The robot will need to work harder to continue vacuuming, resulting in increased noise and decreased suction.

Robot's filter may become clogged with dust and debris, causing noise and reducing the robot's suction power.

If the motor or fan is damaged or malfunctions, the robot may operate abnormally and produce loud noise.

Robot Generates Loud Noise and Weak Suction 

Solution:

- Clean the brushes regularly, check and remove pet hair, hair, and other obstructing debris.

- Clean and replace filters regularly to maintain cleaning performance and reduce noise.

- If there are suspicions about the motor or fan, contact the manufacturer's support department for inspection and repair.

Conclusion: These are common issues and fixes for home vacuuming robots that you can refer to. If following these methods, your vacuuming robot still doesn't operate normally, contact the warranty center for proper inspection and handling. Users should not attempt to disassemble and repair the robot at home to avoid further damage and warranty rejection.
