How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use the robot if the battery area feels hot or the pack appears swollen.

  • Clean charging contacts: Wipe the robot and dock contacts with a dry cloth to ensure efficient charging.
  • Reduce load: Thoroughly clean the main brush, side brush, and wheels to reduce mechanical resistance.
  • Full charge cycle: Place the robot on the dock and allow it to charge uninterrupted for at least 4–6 hours, then test runtime.
  • Replace battery if needed: If runtime remains short, replace the battery pack with a genuine Samsung replacement.
