As people's lives continue to speed up, more and more individuals are looking for ways to save time on household chores. This has led to the increasing popularity of small appliances like robotic sweepers, which help improve daily living by taking care of cleaning tasks automatically. However, when a robotic sweeper malfunctions, many users wonder whether it’s difficult to fix and what steps they can take to resolve the issue themselves.
After prolonged use, robotic sweepers may encounter some issues, but not all of them require professional repair. In fact, several common problems can be easily addressed at home with a bit of troubleshooting. Here are some typical issues and their solutions:
**1. Side Brush Not Rotating**
If the side brush isn't turning, it is often a false alarm, and the motor itself is rarely the cause. If there is an actual problem with the brush motor, the machine will usually emit an alarm sound.
**Solutions:**
1. First, check if the machine has power by looking at the indicator light next to the AUTO button. If it's red or orange, the battery is dead, and you should charge it.
2. Before charging, make sure the switch at the bottom of the robot is turned on. If it’s off, the robot won’t charge.
3. If the battery indicator is green, check if the return-to-charger function is enabled. Then inspect the side brush for:
- Loose screws
- Over-tightened screws causing damage
- Cracked side brush blades
- Faulty motor (test by manually rotating the brush shaft)
**2. Machine Won’t Start or Charge**
If the robot doesn’t charge, it might be due to insufficient power or incorrect charging procedures.
**Solutions:**
1. Ensure the bottom switch is turned on before charging.
2. Make sure the robot is fully in contact with the charging dock.
3. Avoid disconnecting the power during charging.
4. If the issue persists, try reactivating the battery by charging it for 3 minutes, then repeating this process three times, followed by a full 12-hour charge.
**3. Machine Alarms**
Alarms typically indicate low power, hair entanglement, or the robot being stuck.
**Solutions:**
1. Check the power indicator. If it's red, the robot needs to return to the charger.
2. Inspect the side brush and drive wheels for hair or debris.
3. Manually guide the robot if it gets stuck in a corner.
4. Clean the roller brush thoroughly to eliminate any obstructions.
**4. Limited Cleaning Area**
A smaller cleaning area is often normal, especially in the first few days of use.
**Solutions:**
1. Allow the robot to run for longer periods to cover more space.
2. The coverage area typically increases after 7–10 days of regular use.
3. Clean the dust sensor and the bottom sensor to ensure accurate navigation.
**5. Increased Noise During Operation**
Loud noises may be caused by dirt or hair caught in the brushes.
**Solutions:**
1. Turn off the robot and remove the dust bin.
2. Clean the brush suction port to prevent clogs.
3. Check and clean the roller brush, including the ends where hair might accumulate.
4. Inspect and clean the side brush as well.
**6. Reduced Cleaning Power**
A decrease in suction power could be due to a clogged filter or debris in the brush system.
**Solutions:**
1. Remove the dust bin and check the filter for dust buildup.
2. Replace the filter if necessary.
3. Clear any blockages in the brush suction port.
4. Inspect the drive wheels for dirt or obstructions that may hinder movement.
By understanding these common issues and their solutions, users can save time and money by resolving minor problems on their own. There's no need to rush to customer support for every small malfunction—many issues can be fixed quickly with a little knowledge and effort.
