My impeller is clogged – How do I clean it?
Step by step.
- Make sure the power supply is unplugged from the outlet.
- If you notice debris trapped in the impeller, open the impeller, remove the debris, and reassemble it. (Caution: Use a Phillips-head screwdriver; do not use a power drill.)
- If your robot model has grilles on the sides, check for visible debris there as well.
