The robot vacuum cleaner does not spin one wheel, why

Convenient use and functionality have provided unprecedented popularity to robotic vacuum cleaners. They are responsible for keeping the house clean, saving precious time for the family to be together, rather than doing painstaking cleaning. But it happens that the "assistant" breaks down, and the reason here may lie in a malfunction of the chassis.

One wheel of the robot vacuum cleaner does not spin

For many household appliance models, the wheelbase is considered a weak point. The reason for the vulnerability is constant contact with dirt, wool and hair, as well as the mobility of the mechanism.

Blocked debris fills the undercarriage compartment and breaks the gearbox.

This is one of the most frequent breakdowns with which the owners of miracle technology turn to service centers. It is not difficult to define it. Even at home.

How does a robot with a wheel malfunction behave?

Usually, smart equipment with such a breakdown completely stops and beeps if it has the appropriate sensors. They do not allow the equipment to work, detecting a breakdown in the system. You will need to identify the problem and fix it completely in order for the vacuum cleaner to work again.

It also often happens that the robot just spins in place. This is precisely due to one inoperative wheel. It does not work, so the machine does not move forward, but rotates with the motor of one impeller.

What to do?

If you are confident in your abilities and are able to independently carry out diagnostic work, check the gearbox compartment for clogging. To do this, you need to open it. Usually there are large clumps of hair, pet hair and debris, although the compartment is hermetically sealed.

Thorough cleaning and oiling of all gearbox systems will be required.

If the problem is not dirt, the breakdown may lie in a malfunction of the control board or sensors installed in the wheel area. In this case, only the specialists of the service center will help. They will carry out the appropriate diagnostics and then replace the defective parts. Robot vacuum cleaner will work like new.
