Dolphin Robot Won’t Climb Walls

If your Maytronics Dolphin robotic cleaner is no longer climbing walls, there are a few possible reasons why this may be happening.

Here are some of the most common causes and how to fix them:

1. Dirty or worn brushes: The brushes on your Dolphin cleaner are responsible for scrubbing the walls and floors of your pool. If they become dirty or worn, they may not be able to provide enough traction for the cleaner to climb walls. To fix this, you can try cleaning or replacing the brushes as needed.
2. Low water flow: If the water flow to the cleaner is too low, it may not be able to climb walls. This can be caused by a clogged or dirty filter, a malfunctioning pump, or a blockage in the water lines. Check your pool’s filter and pump to make sure they are functioning properly, and check the water lines for any blockages.
3. Malfunctioning motor: If the motor in your Dolphin cleaner is not working properly, it may not be able to provide enough power for the cleaner to climb walls. This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as worn bearings, a damaged impeller, or a malfunctioning motor controller. In this case, you may need to replace the motor or have it repaired by a professional.
4. Debris in the way: If there is debris, such as leaves or sticks, in the way of the cleaner’s climb path, it may not be able to climb walls. Make sure to remove any debris from the pool before running the cleaner.
5. Low voltage: If the voltage to the cleaner is too low, it may not be able to provide enough power to climb walls. Check the voltage at the cleaner and make sure it is within the recommended range.
6. Damaged tracks: The tracks on the bottom of the cleaner are responsible for providing traction and allowing it to climb walls. If the tracks are worn or damaged, they may not be able to provide enough traction for the cleaner to climb walls. Check the tracks for any damage and replace them as needed.
7. Malfunctioning sensors: Some Dolphin cleaners have sensors that help them climb walls. If these sensors are malfunctioning, the cleaner may not be able to climb walls. Check the sensors and make sure they are functioning properly.

Overall, there are several possible reasons why your Maytronics Dolphin robotic cleaner may no longer be climbing walls. By checking and addressing these common issues, you can get your cleaner back to climbing walls and keeping your pool clean. Browse and order replacement parts for Maytronics and Dolphin robots.
