Why my Vorwerk Vacuum Cleaner does not return to the base station after cleaning?
- N
  Nicole GonzalesJul 26, 2025
  If your Vorwerk Vacuum Cleaner isn't returning to its base station, there might be several reasons: * Check if the protective film on the infrared window of the base station was removed. * If you initiated cleaning in normal mode from a spot other than the base station, the robot will return to that starting point. * Obstructions or dirt may be covering the sensors on the base station or the robot vacuum. Remove any obstructions and clean the sensors. * The base station's location might be blocked by a wall or obstacle. Try relocating the base station. * The base station setup might not be optimal. Start spot cleaning from the base station to test its setup.

  If your Vorwerk Vacuum Cleaner suddenly stops cleaning, here's what might be happening: * You might have accidentally selected spot cleaning mode. Switch to normal cleaning mode if you want it to clean the entire room. * The sensors could be covered or dirty. Ensure they are unobstructed and clean them with a soft cloth or cotton swab. * In large, empty rooms, the robot might have trouble navigating if there aren't enough walls or furniture within 2-3 meters. Try blocking off the area with the magnetic strip. * If the sensors are dirty, the robot vacuum may interpret dark and dense carpets as a drop-off. Clean the floor sensors regularly.

  robertsmariahAug 4, 2025
  If your Vorwerk Vacuum Cleaner's navigation isn't working, it could be due to a few reasons: * The robot vacuum's path is obstructed. Remove any objects blocking its way, or slightly reposition the robot vacuum. * The robot vacuum was moved during cleaning. Avoid moving it more than 0.5 meters, as this can cause navigation issues. * Furniture was moved or doors were opened/closed during cleaning. Try not to rearrange things while the robot vacuum is operating. * The dust compartment cover isn't fully closed. Ensure it's properly engaged.
