Shark ION Robot R75 Movement Is Irregular

AS

Introduction

Does your Shark ION Robot R75 vacuum move irregularly, sporadically, or abnormally? Shark ION Robot R75 vacuums are susceptible to a range of problems that could cause their movement to become irregular. Check the following possible causes to identify and solve the problem.

Causes

1

Dirty Sensors

If the Shark ION Robot R75 vacuum is moving irregularly, the device’s sensors could be dirty. Use either a dry microfiber cloth or compressed air to clean the sensors around the vacuum’s bumper and underside of the robot.

2

Dirty or Worn Wheels

If you have cleaned off the vacuum’s sensors and its movement is still sporadic, the vacuum may have dirty or worn-out wheels. Inspect the robot’s drive wheels and caster wheels to make sure they are free of any obstruction. Obstructions may include dirt, debris, and hair. If the wheels appear significantly worn, you may want to replace them. To replace the Shark ION Robot R75’s drive wheels, see the Shark ION Robot R75 Drive Wheel Assembly Replacement Guide. To replace the Shark ION Robot R75’s caster wheel, see the Shark ION Robot R75 Caster Wheel Replacement Guide.

3

Worn Motors

If you have removed any obstructions from the Shark ION Robot R75 vacuum’s wheels and the robot is still moving sporadically, its drive motors may be worn out. If the robot is having trouble moving even on smooth, hard surfaces, one or both of the drive motors may need to be replaced. Make sure that all obstructions are free from the robot’s wheels and that the wheels do not need to be replaced.
