MOST COMMON AQUABOT TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMSġ) Power cord has a broken wire between motor and handle clamp.Ģ) Broken or loose drive belt(s). Bypassing the timer means the robot runs for as long as the power is turned on. The timer may be replaced for about $50 or bypassed at zero cost. To check, when the robot stops, unplug the robot from the transformer and check for voltage at the power transformer outlet. The most likely problem is the timer on or in the power supply. Otherwise,ĪQUABOT STOPS RUNNING AFTER SHORT TIME It may run for a short period after turning power off and on. Check for broken wires between the pump and motor. Turn a wheel a little in each direction to unbind the motor.Īssuming belts are good and installed correctly and a wheel is not falling out of the sideplate, you need a new motor.ġ) Check impeller for debris such as hair, weeds or leaves.Ģ) Operate the robot without the filter bag, if the pump works ok, get a new bag or clean the one you have.ģ) Troubleshoot your cable.

If the robot momentarily comes to life,Ĭheck the cord plug end for broken contacts.

If not, replace the reset switchī)Perform a continuity check on the fuse holder.Ĭ)Perform a continuity check of the on/off switch. Continuity should be there when the button is pressed. NEVER do a continuity check with the power on.Ī)Perform a continuity check on the reset button by holding a probe on each terminal and holding in the reset. I say again, DO NOT PLUG IN the transformer with the case removed. Replace the transformer if no voltage is detected.Īquabot Troubleshooting-The transformer: case open and UNPLUGGED. Some transformers have a reset switch that must be pushed every time the machine is started.ģ) Check for voltage at the Power Transformer with a multimeter set to Vac 200. Photos of external timer transformer and bypassĢ) Press the reset (if equipped) on the Power Transformer and check the fuse. Photos of Internal timer transformer and bypass If BOTH pump and motor are not working, (Pool cleaner is not pumping water or moving) then the problem is most likely electrical Troubleshoot the power supplyġ) Reset your GFI outlet and test the outlet for power with a multimeter on the Vac 200 setting or plug a small appliance into the outlet.
