Possible Causes

Hair wrapped around caster axle, Caster wheel housing clogged with debris, Caster wheel surface worn flat, Caster bracket bent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and flip it over.

Step-by-step:

  • Remove caster wheel: Pull the front caster straight up to remove it from its socket.
  • Clean axle and socket: Remove hair and dust from the axle and inside the socket using tweezers and a brush.
  • Inspect wheel: Ensure the wheel spins freely on its axle and the surface is round, not flat‑spotted.
  • Reinstall or replace: Push the caster back into its socket until it clicks. If it still binds, replace the caster assembly.

A jammed caster can affect navigation and cause floor marks; keep it clean regularly.
