Here are Irobot Braavo Jet Troubleshooting

The device does not turn on

When the power button is pressed, the robot does not show any signs of activity.

  • Dead battery
  • Faulty battery
  • Faulty adapter

Dead battery: The battery could have run out of electricity. Remove the battery and position it in the adapter for charging. Plug the connector into the wall and wait until the blinking orange light turns green for about two hours. Then put the battery back on the robot in the slot.

Faulty battery: A faulty battery can also prevent the robot from turning on. If the battery is charged and the robot still does not turn on, then the battery is faulty, Replace the battery.

Faulty adapter: The robot may not turn on because the battery is not being charged by the adapter. If, when inserted into the wall, the light on the adapter does not turn on, then the adapter is defective.

In a straight line, the device does not move

The robot does not move forwards when turned on.

  • Wheels covered in debris
  • Mop pad separating from attachment card
  • Tire tread not firmly attached

Wheels covered in debris: Debris collected by the wheels will keep the robot from moving properly. Switch the robot upside down and spin each wheel to rid the wheels of debris. Take it softly from the wheel if any debris is apparent.

Mop pad separating from attachment card: The adapter card contains the pad of the mop and is placed before the spokes. It may detach from the attachment card if the pad is worn out, and hinder the robot’s motion. Verify that by looking at the mop pad, this is the problem.

Tire tread not firmly attached: Loose tire tread could inhibit the motion of the robot. To determine if the tire tread is loose, use your thumb to push the tread outward and away from the wheel. If the tread comes off, the wheel should be replaced.

The device does not spray water

When cleaning, the device does not spray water out of the nozzle.

  • Empty water tank
  • Faulty spray nozzle

Empty water tank: There is an internal tank in the robot which holds water. If this tank is empty, so water would not be sprayed by the robot. The tank’s lid is placed under the handle on top of the robot. Please empty the reservoir, and try again to scrub.

Faulty spray nozzle: The spray nozzle is the piece that ejects water. If the water tank is full, then the nozzle may be faulty and the nozzle should be replaced.

Leaking from device

Water does not stay in the reservoir.

  • Overfilled water tank
  • Faulty tank

Overfilled water tank: Verify that the water tank has been filled to just past the tank limit. Without pulling water out of the tank, there should be enough space for the tank cap to close entirely.

Faulty tank: If the tank is filled correctly, there may be a problem with the water tank itself. Inspect the tank by removing the filter, If the tank is damaged, replace it.
