Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The robot will not turn on. | The battery is low. Recharge the robot on the base and try again. The temperature of the battery is too low or too high. Operate the appliance at a temperature above 0°C (32°F) and below 40°C (104°F). |
The robot will not charge. | The base station is not connected to power; ensure both ends of its power cord are correctly plugged in. The contact between the charging contacts on the base station and the robot is poor; please clean the charging contacts. Check for any foreign object at the robot's connector and remove it. |
The robot fails to connect to Wi-Fi. | The Wi-Fi network password is incorrect; ensure the password is correct. The robot does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi; ensure connection to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi signal is weak; ensure the robot is in an area with good Wi-Fi coverage. The robot may not be ready for configuration; exit and re-enter the app, then try again. |
The robot cannot find and return to the base station. | The base station is disconnected from power or moved when the robot is not on it; connect the base station to power or place the robot onto the base station to charge. There are too many obstructions around the base station; place the base station in a more open area. Moving the robot may cause it to re-position itself and recreate a map; if re-positioning fails, or if the robot is too far, manually place it onto the base station. Wipe the signaling area on the base station to remove dust or debris. Check if there is enough space on both sides or in front of the base station to prevent the robot from being blocked. The route for returning to charge is blocked (e.g., door is closed). The robot may slip if the floor in front of the base station is overly wet; clean excess water before trying again. It is recommended to move the base station to a different place and try again. Ensure the ramp extension plate is installed properly. |
The robot will not turn off. | The robot cannot be turned off when it is charging. Move the robot from the base station, then press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn it off. If it cannot be turned off, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to forcibly turn it off. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service. |
The charging speed is slow. | It takes about 3.5 hours to fully charge the robot when its battery is low. If operated at temperatures outside the specified range, charging speed slows down to extend battery life. The charging contacts on both the robot and the base may be dirty; please wipe them with a dry cloth. |
The noise increases while the robot is operating. | Check whether the dust box filter is clogged; clean or replace it. A hard object may be caught in the main brush or dust box; check and remove it. The main brush or side brush may be tangled; check and remove foreign objects. Switch the suction mode to Standard or Quiet. |
The robot moves without following the set route. | Organize objects such as power cords and slippers before using the robot. Working on wet slippery surfaces causes the main wheel to slip; dry wet places before using the robot. Wipe the 3D line laser sensor on the robot with a clean, soft cloth to keep it clean and unobstructed. |
The robot misses the rooms to be cleaned. | Make sure the doors of the rooms to be cleaned are open. Check for thresholds higher than about 2 cm at the door; the robot cannot climb over high thresholds or steps. The area in front of the room may be wet and slippery, causing abnormal operation; try drying the floor. |
The robot will not resume cleaning after charging. | Make sure the robot is not set to Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. The robot will not resume cleaning after you manually place it on the base station or send it to charge via the app or button. |
The station cannot automatically empty the dust box. | Check if the dust bag in the dust tank is full. If not, check for obstructions at the auto-empty vents of the robot, base station, or dust box; clean any blocked part. |
The water level in the washboard is abnormal. | Check if the seal on the used water tank is loose or not correctly installed; manually reset it. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service. Gently press down on the used water tank to ensure it is installed correctly. Remove the washboard filter and check if the sewage drain is blocked; clean it. Check the cleaning solution; do not add any liquid other than the officially-approved cleaning solution. |
The mop pad holder is raised abnormally. | Remove the mop pad holder to check for foreign objects stuck in it, and try to restart the robot. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service. |
There is water under the clean water tank or around the seal. | When taking out the clean water tank, some water in the pipe may be left under the tank or around the seal. This is normal. Please wipe with a dry cloth. |
