Sensors & Electronics

Sensor and electronics issues in robot vacuums typically affect navigation, obstacle detection, cliff sensing, or communication between internal boards. In most repairs, the problem traces back to dust contamination, moisture exposure, cracked solder joints, or stressed ribbon cables rather than outright component failure. A common pattern we see is intermittent behavior that worsens over time with heavy use or poor maintenance. These repairs can range from simple cleaning to detailed inspection, with moderate success rates. Always isolate the fault before replacing electronic parts.
