Solutions to Common Problems with Fully Automatic Floor Cleaning Machines
Release time:2022-09-21
As time goes by and the fully automatic floor scrubber is used for longer periods, it’s perfectly normal for the machine to show signs of aging. Below, we’ll provide a detailed introduction to the causes of common malfunctions and their corresponding solutions.

**I. What Should You Do If the Floor Scrubber’s Water-Suction Performance Has Significantly Declined?**
1. Check whether there are any debris or residues left inside the rubber strip on the suction blade. During cleaning, some fibrous solids tend to easily stick to the rubber strip.
2. If the rubber strip is damaged, remember that the floor scrubber’s rubber strip is a wear-and-tear part. Prolonged cleaning operations can cause significant wear on the strip; in such cases, you’ll need to replace it promptly.
3. If you notice a clear difference in cleanliness between the two sides of the floor during cleaning, it’s likely due to uneven pressure on either side of the suction blade or improper adjustment of its angle. During normal cleaning, the rubber strips on both sides should be kept as aligned as possible.
4. Check whether the water-suction motor is functioning properly. Once the water-suction motor malfunctions or stops working altogether, the cleaning efficiency will drop dramatically.

**II. What Should You Do If the Floor Scrubber’s Brush Disc Isn’t Rotating?**
1. First, check whether the battery is working. Use a voltmeter to measure the battery’s voltage, and then see if the fuse has blown. After identifying the cause, replace the damaged component.
2. Verify whether the floor scrubber’s switch is still in good condition. Open the control panel’s power switch; if the brush disc doesn’t rotate, you’ll need to replace the switch.
3. Another often-overlooked situation: if the clean water tank is empty or the outlet pipe connecting the clean water tank to the brush disc is blocked, the brush disc won’t rotate either. In this case, you’ll need to remove the blockage.

**III. What Should You Do If There’s Too Much Foam?**
During cleaning, we add detergent into the clean water tank. However, there’s a strict requirement for the correct proportion. If excessive foam appears, it’s definitely because too much detergent was added—either the proportion wasn’t controlled properly or the detergent itself has a high foaming rate. In such cases, you’ll need to reduce the amount of detergent slightly beyond the original recommended ratio.

**IV. What Should You Do If the Floor Scrubber Can’t Move in a Straight Line?**
If the floor scrubber can’t move in a straight line, there are two possible reasons for this issue. First, the floor surface may be uneven. Second, the brush disc might not be exerting enough pressure; in this case, you’ll need to adjust the pressure to ensure normal operation.

As time goes by and Fully automatic floor scrubber As the usage time increases, machines naturally begin to age—this is a perfectly normal phenomenon. Below, we’ll provide a detailed introduction to the causes of these failures and the corresponding troubleshooting methods.
1. What should I do if the floor scrubber’s water suction performance has significantly declined?
1. Check whether there are any debris or residues left inside the rubber strip of the suction squeegee. During cleaning, some fibrous solids tend to easily stick to the rubber strip.
2. The rubber strip is already damaged. The rubber strip on the floor scrubber is a wear-and-tear part, and prolonged cleaning operations can cause significant wear to the strip. Therefore, it’s important to replace it promptly when necessary.
3. If, while cleaning the floor, you notice a significant difference in cleanliness between the two sides of the floor, it’s because the pressure on either side of the squeegee is unbalanced or the angle hasn’t been properly adjusted. During normal cleaning operations, try to keep the rubber strips on both sides as aligned as possible.
4. Check whether the water-suction motor is functioning properly. Once the water-suction motor malfunctions or fails to operate, the cleaning efficiency will be significantly reduced.
II. What should I do if the floor scrubber’s brush disc isn’t rotating?
1. Check whether the battery is functioning properly by using a voltmeter to measure its voltage. Then, determine whether the fuse has blown. After identifying the cause, replace the damaged component.
2. Check whether the floor scrubber’s switch function is working properly. If the brush disc of the floor scrubber does not rotate when you turn on the power switch on the control panel, you’ll need to replace the switch.
3. There’s another situation that’s easily overlooked: if the clean water tank runs dry or the outlet pipe connecting the clean water tank to the brush plate becomes blocked, the brush plate won’t rotate either. In such a case, you’ll need to remove the blockage.
III. What should we do if there’s too much foam?
During the cleaning process, we add detergent to the clean water tank. However, there’s a strict requirement for the correct proportion. If excessive foam appears, it’s definitely because too much detergent was added—either the proportion wasn’t properly controlled or the detergent itself has a naturally high foaming rate. In such cases, you’ll need to reduce the amount of detergent further beyond the originally specified ratio.
Four, what if you can't walk in a straight line?
The floor scrubber cannot move in a straight line. There are two possible reasons for this issue. First, the floor surface is uneven. Second, the scrubber’s brush pad isn’t applying sufficient pressure; you’ll need to adjust the pressure to ensure normal operation.
