Unlike suction and pressure cleaners robotic pool cleaners can sometimes suffer from technical issues that can cause them to malfunction. Fortunately most of these problems are minor and can be repaired with some simple trouble shooting. However, like all electrical equipment robots and computers can wear out over time and may need to be replaced. Fortunately, a reputable vendor of Kreepy Krauly and Prowler Pool Cleaner parts and components can help you get your robot working again.

One of the most common problems with robotic cleaners is that they fail to complete their cleaning cycle. This can be due to a number of different reasons. For example, the cleaner may be obstructed by debris or the hose could have become clogged. Regardless of the reason, this can be a frustrating experience.

There are several things that can be done to fix this issue. First, make sure that the power cord is plugged in correctly. The floating power cord should be firmly plugged into the transformer that controls the cleaner. Also, the transformer should have an indicator light that shows that it is receiving power.

The next thing to do is check that all of the tracks and wheels are free from obstructions. This can prevent the robot from moving correctly across the surface of your pool. Finally, it is important to inspect the drive belt and motor for any signs of malfunction. These can hinder the robot’s movement and can also lead to a variety of other problems.

If the robotic cleaner is having a hard time climbing walls, it could be that the brushes or wheels are worn out and require replacement. In this case, the best solution is to buy new ones. However, if the cleaner is fairly new and has not been properly maintained, it may be more cost effective to repair it rather than replace it altogether.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when maintaining a robotic pool cleaner is that it should always be removed from the water once it is finished cleaning. This will prevent the device from becoming damaged by the chemicals in your pool or the heat of the sun. Furthermore, removing the cleaner after every cleaning cycle will prolong its lifespan.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that each robotic cleaner has a specific cleaning cycle duration that should be followed. It is crucial to ensure that this duration is not altered, as it will lead to a less efficient cleaning performance.

As a seasoned professional who has seen more robots than you can shake a skimmer basket at, I know that the vast majority of these machines only need a little bit of maintenance and troubleshooting to get back up and running. If the machine is under warranty then it might be worth contacting the manufacturer to see if the repair costs are covered. If it’s not under warranty then it is still worth considering a robotic cleaner repair specialist because a minor repair with a tune up kit can often be much cheaper than buying a brand new one!
