VibraRise Lift Motor Stall
The mainboard detected an overcurrent event or a missing Hall sensor feedback pulse from the VibraRise mop lifting actuator. When the DC lift motor attempts to raise or lower the sonic mopping plate, excessive mechanical resistance or an electrical open circuit trips motor driver overcurrent protection (Error 44).
VibraRise Mop Actuator Jammed
Error 10 triggers when the robot controller detects an overcurrent trip or stroke timeout on the VibraRise mop carriage lift actuator circuit. When transitioning between hard surfaces and carpet, the microcontroller energizes the mop lift motor via an H-bridge driver while polling limit switches or optical position interrupters. If current exceeds safe operational limits (typically >450mA peak) or if stroke limits fail to transition within 3.5 seconds due to mechanical binding, broken gearing, or sensor misalignment, the robot halts to prevent motor thermal runaway.
FlexiArm Side Brush Motor Stall
The mainboard micro-controller detected excessive current draw on the FlexiArm actuation servo or rotary motor driver circuit (overcurrent threshold exceeded), indicating mechanical binding, debris obstruction, or gear train failure.
FlexiArm Side Brush Stall
Error 42 indicates an overcurrent or stall condition detected by the mainboard current-sensing shunt resistor on the FlexiArm dynamic extension side brush motor driver circuit, caused by foreign matter wrapping, gear train binding, or actuator obstruction.
FlexiArm Side Brush Jammed
The main PCB detected an overcurrent event or mechanical stall condition on the FlexiArm servo extension actuator or the primary side brush motor circuit, triggering an automatic protective shutdown.
Suction Fan Motor Stall
The mainboard firmware detected an abnormal current spike or a missing Hall-sensor tachometer feedback signal from the brushless DC (BLDC) suction turbine fan assembly, triggering an overcurrent safety cutoff to prevent motor driver IC failure.
