3 Steps to Fix Robot Vacuum Charging Issues

Clean the charging contacts with isopropyl alcohol Dirt and grime build up on the metal strips over time, especially near kitchens or pet areas. Use a cotton swab or soft cloth with 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol to wipe both the robot’s and dock’s contacts.

Avoid water and abrasives Water can worsen the connection and cause corrosion. Never use sandpaper or a metal brush—they will ruin the plating.

Check for physical damage if cleaning fails One or two gentle passes usually fixes the issue. If not, inspect for damaged contacts or a misaligned dock.
