Robotic cleaners have rotating brushes to scrub the floor and walls, tracks to grip the surface of your pool, and a motor to move the whole thing around. All of these parts can get damaged or wear down. Luckily, they are relatively inexpensive to replace and you may be able to perform your own robotic pool cleaner repair before calling in the pros.

If your robot doesn’t seem to be moving across the waterline, the first thing you should check is that the power cord is properly connected. If your robot is getting tangled up in the cord, it won’t be able to move around and will get stuck. It’s also a good idea to make sure that the cord is not pulled out of the outlet.

Another common problem is that the polyvinyl alcohol or PVA brushes of your robot are not absorbing enough water to climb the wall of your pool. It’s important to keep the brushes clean so that they can absorb more water. This will prevent them from becoming overloaded and causing the unit to stop working. You should also be sure to rinse the brush filters frequently to keep them clean and working well.

The best way to do this is by removing them from the unit, rinsing them off and inspecting them for any signs of damage. This will ensure that they are always working to their full potential and help your robot to clean the entire surface of your pool every time it’s in use.

Sometimes, you will find that your robot gets stuck in the same place every time you use it. This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as the water temperature being too cold, or a cracked handle that allows water to leak into the unit. You can verify the water temperature by putting your hand in the water, or by lifting the unit partially out of the water and seeing if there is any water leaking from the top.

You should also check the wheels and belts of your robotic cleaner to see if they are in the correct positions. If they are not, they will prevent your robot from moving around the pool and picking up debris.

Lastly, you can check the drive pulley inside of the motor to see if it is functioning correctly. If it is not, you will likely need to replace the pulley.

If you have checked all of these things, but your robotic pool cleaner is still not moving, it’s probably time to call in a professional. Your local swimming pool shop will be able to diagnose and fix any mechanical problems your cleaner is experiencing. They can even install a new motor or replacement parts to ensure that your robot continues to run smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. They can also provide tips to improve your cleaning routine and keep your pool looking beautiful. This article was provided by a leading Brisbane pool service company.
