Roller Not Spinning

Symptoms

• Machine powers on but the roller remains stationary
• Roller spins intermittently and stops
• Machine moves but leaves no cleaning effect on the floor
• A grinding or clicking noise from the roller area

Likely Causes

1. Hair or debris wrapped tightly around the roller ends, preventing rotation
2. The roller is not correctly seated in its housing
3. The dirty water tank is full, triggering an automatic stop
4. A hard object is lodged between the roller and the housing
5. The roller drive mechanism has a fault

Step-by-step Fix

1. Switch the machine off. Check the dirty water tank — if it is at capacity, the machine shuts down the roller to prevent overflow. Empty the tank, rinse it, and reattach.
2. Remove the roller by pressing the two orange release tabs at each end of the roller housing and lifting it clear.
3. Inspect the roller ends carefully. Hair and synthetic fibres wrap tightly around the drive collar and are easy to miss. Cut and remove any wrapped material using scissors.
4. Check the roller housing channel for hard debris — small stones, grit, or clips can jam the drive. Clear thoroughly.
5. Reseat the roller — align the drive end (marked with an arrow) with the left housing slot, then press the passive end into the right slot. Both tabs should click.
6. Power on and test on a flat floor surface.
