If your robot regularly encounters these issues in the same place, we'd recommend adding a restriction to adapt how your robot behaves in this area.
You should consider applying a restriction if:
Before setting up a restriction, you will need to Map and Zone your home.
We need a little more information to help us solve your issue.
But our Customer Support Team will be able to solve your problem.
Please contact our team on 0800 298 0298.
If your robot gets stuck in the same place regularly, you can use the Dyson Link app to add a restriction for that area.
There are three different types of restrictions you can create to suit your home.
When your robot enters a 'No climb' area, it will vacuum this area but will avoid climbing obstacles.
If your robot repeatedly gets caught on inclines or small objects, we would recommend creating this type of restriction.
When your robot enters a 'Brush bar off' area, it will vacuum this area with the brush bar switched off.
If your robot's brush bar regularly gets caught in the same area, we would advise creating this type of restriction.
'Avoid area' restrictions can be used to stop the robot cleaning certain areas.
It will avoid entering these areas during the clean.

If you robot is not performing as expected, you may need to adjust its power mode to get the best results for your floor type.
This can be configured using the Dyson Link app.
For maximum suction.
For powerful cleaning.
For quieter cleaning and longer run time.
If your home has multiple floor types, we would advise creating zones to configure a power mode for each area in your home.
Select 'Mapping and zoning' for more information on this feature.
Please follow the steps in the video.
Your robot can create a map of your home. It can also create multiple maps, if you have more than one floor in your home.
Once you have a map, you can divide it into different areas. These are known as zones.
You can then assign different power modes to your different zones. For example, you can clean the hallway on Quiet and clean the Kitchen on Max.
You can also use Restrictions to adapt how your robot behaves in certain areas, turning off its brush bar for example.
Mapping and zoning give you more control over your robot and how it cleans your home.
Simply go to 'Mapping and zoning' in your machine's menu, and then select 'Create new map'.
To create the map quickly and efficiently, your robot will explore your home with the vacuum switched off. You'll need to let your robot explore uninterrupted.
If your robot becomes stuck, you'll need to recover it to start mapping again. Simply move it away from the obstacle and place it back on the floor in roughly the same place and press its power button to resume.
Once your robot has finished mapping it will return to the dock.
You'll then be guided to zone your map. If you're not, go to 'Mapping and zoning' in your machine's menu and follow the on-screen instructions there.
Using the dock location is a good way to orientate your map. Narrow areas on your map will likely mark doorways and can be a good place to define a zone.
Once you've completed zoning, you'll see the new zones in the drawer on your home screen.
Now you can assign power modes to each of them.
Your robot will also clean zone-by-zone, will tell you which zone it is in on your home screen and will update your map as it cleans each zone, so you can keep track of it mid-clean.
If your map is not complete following Mapping, you can add more areas to the map by allowing your robot to access those areas during a clean.
If your robot discovers more areas to add to your map, go to 'Mapping and zoning' on the robot's menu and then 'Manage zones'.
Follow the same process for zoning.
Ensure your Wi-Fi router has an internet connection and that your mobile device has a good signal strength.

Your robot requires adequate lighting, clean sensors and a prepared floor space to ensure it is able to navigate correctly.
We would advise checking each of these to ensure your robot does not miss areas while cleaning.
Your robot will compensate for low light by using its LEDs to selectively illuminate dark areas. It is not designed to operate in complete darkness.
Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.
You should check all sensor covers and the navigational camera for dirt, dust, fingerprints and smears each time your robot completes a clean.
Wipe the sensor covers and navigational camera with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to clean.
Do not use cleaning fluids, liquids or sprays of any kind.
Each time you begin a clean, we recommend you:

When you first connect your Dyson machine to the Dyson Link app you'll give it a room name. You'll find a list of pre-set room names in the app, such as 'Bedroom' or 'Kitchen'. Google Assistant uses this room name to identify your machine.
Google Assistant uses this to name your machine in the Google Home app as well.
To control an individual Dyson machine using voice commands, you can either directly name the machine in your command or say the room name the machine is assigned to in the Google Home app.
If you say "Hey Google, enable auto mode in the Bedroom", Google Assistant will identify the machine named 'Bedroom' or a machine in the bedroom and enable auto mode.
Saying "Hey Google, enable auto mode", will enable auto mode for any purifiers in your current room, if the room is set up in the Google Home app.
Open the Google Home app and tap the machine you wish to remove.
Tap the settings icon in the top right and select "Unlink Dyson".
When you remove your Dyson machine from a home:
Google Assistant may not have heard you or recognised your question or command. Make sure you are close enough to your smart home device and speak clearly.
Check Google Assistant can hear you by asking "Hey Google, what did I just say?". Your smart home device should light up when you say "Hey Google ...". If your device has a screen, you'll see it respond.
First, make sure:
If you've checked off all of the steps above and your Assistant still doesn't provide an answer, try one of the steps below and ask your question again. If you still don't get an answer, move to the next step.
Say “Hey Google” to your speaker or display. Check if the LED dots on the top of your device spin or blink, indicating that it recognized the hotword.
If you aren't able to log in to link your Dyson account to the Google Home app, you may need to reset your Dyson account password.
Select the forgotten password link on the log in screen and follow the instructions.
After changing the password on your Dyson account, you'll need to wait 30 minutes before logging back in.
If you enter the password incorrectly more than four times, your account will be locked. It will be automatically unlocked after 30 minutes.
Your machine must be connected to the Dyson Link app and the Dyson Action must be enabled for Google Assistant to discover your machine.
If your machine hasn't been connected to the Dyson Link app, open the app and select Add machine. Follow the in-app connection instructions.
Your command may have been misheard or misinterpreted by Google Assistant. To check this say "Hey Google, show me my activity" to bring up your recent activity, including recent voice commands.
You can also ask Google Assistant to read back the last command by asking "Hey Google, what did you hear?"
Saying "Hey Google, show me my activity" will show you recent voice commands. You can view the details of each command to see what Google Assistant heard, the responses and actions taken.
Google Assistant learns the more you use it but some commands may not be recognised. Try using different words in your command.
For example, if you say "Hey Google, turn on fan motion", and it doesn't work, try saying "Hey Google, turn on oscillation mode".
There are different commands that can be used to interact with Google Assistant, here are some examples:
Turning your Dyson machine on and off
Changing fan speed
Changing oscillation settings
Changing temperature settings
Controlling your Dyson robot
To connect an additional machine to your Dyson Link app, select the menu icon in the top left of the home screen.
Simply select 'Add machine' to start the connection journey.
The new user will need to complete the connection journey on their device and when asked 'Are you the machine's new owner?', they will need to select 'Yes, I own this machine'.

Your robot is able to use one of three power modes when cleaning.
This can be configured using the Dyson Link app.
For maximum suction.
For powerful cleaning.
For quieter cleaning and longer run time.
If you have created zones for your robot's map, a power mode can be chosen per zone.
Select 'Mapping and zoning' for more information on this feature.
Whilst on the chosen product, press the settings icon in the top right, then select your machines settings.
From here, navigate to the remove section. Here you will find further information.
The easiest way to ensure your robot is up to date is to enable automatic updates. This can be done by linking it to your home network via the Dyson Link app.
Once the robot is connected, you can check the Dyson Link app to see if automatic updates are enabled.
You can do this by tapping the gear icon in the top right of the screen and then selecting "Your robot's settings". Scroll down the settings and ensure that the "Auto-update software" setting is selected.
Some features are only available on the latest version of the robot's software and the Dyson Link app.
The robot's software can be updated via USB stick if no Wi-Fi network is available.
Please note that the machine does not come with a USB stick. To upgrade via USB, you will need to use one formatted to FAT32 with at least 500MB free space.
Check for software updates on the Dyson website and download the latest version onto your USB stick without renaming it. Make sure this software is the only item on the USB stick (no other files or folders).
If the robot is on the dock, lift the robot and place it in front of the dock.
Ensure the robot is off. If any lights are showing, press and hold the power button until the lights switch off.
Remove the post-filter and insert the USB stick into the USB port.
Once the USB stick is inserted, press and hold the power button until a blue ring of animated lights appear.
Once the upgrade is complete the lights will turn off. At this point it is safe to remove the USB stick and replace the filter cover.
WARNING: Do not attempt to interrupt the upgrade sequence until it has completed. Removal of the battery or USB stick during an upgrade may cause irreparable damage.
When you connect your robot, you allow your robot to access the Dyson cloud as well as the Dyson Link app on your phone through your home Wi-Fi.
When part of that connection becomes broken it can mean that you are no longer able to control your robot, you may not be able access your map data in the Dyson cloud and scheduled cleans will not start.
The Dyson Link App will also indicate the source of the problem and provide more information on how to resolve the issue.
If any of these problems occur try the following steps:
Try removing your robot from its dock for approximately 30 seconds and then replacing it. This will force your robot to re-establish connection with your home network and the Dyson Cloud.
If your robot's Wi-Fi light flashes continuously, your robot may not be able to connect to your home network. Try locating your robot's dock closer to your home Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
Check that there isn't a problem with your home Wi-Fi by confirming that your phone is connected to Wi-Fi and that you can access the internet.
If you have to restart your router, also force your robot to re-connect by picking it up and replacing it on its dock.
If the problem still persists, and your robot's Wi-Fi light is illuminated, there may be a problem with the Dyson Cloud. Please try again later.
The clean duration is an estimate and will vary depending on the following factors:
The specific power mode per zone can either increase the estimated time or decrease it.
For example, MAX mode will offer a faster clean, but if the space is too large to complete on one charge, the robot will need to return to the dock.
Subject to the power mode selected and the space that robot is vacuuming, there may be a need for 1 or more recharges. Each recharge will add time to what was previously estimated.
The robot may become stuck in an enclosed space, narrow area or upon an object. This includes underneath furniture, entering or exiting rooms with confined doorways, threshold strip between rooms or object not removed when preparing the vacuuming space.
If the robot encounters these issues, the estimated clean duration may increase.
To avoid this, we recommend preparing your home before starting a clean.
Each time you begin a clean, we recommend you:
Areas that are no longer appearing on the map or have been newly discovered will not have a power mode set against them.
If the dock has recently been moved or a change in layout has occurred within the home, your robot will need to remap the space.
If the robot was unable to access a certain area, it will not appear on the map. So that the robot can map the whole home, please ensure there is a clear path for it to navigate.
Remove any loose objects from the area you'd like to be mapped and check that all internal doors are open while the machine is active.
The robot may have discovered a new or previously blocked area, which has yet to be zoned. Existing and new un-zoned maps should be removed.
If you would like to zone this new area for future cleaning, please assign it a location.
To create the map quickly and efficiently, your robot will explore your home with the vacuum switched off. You'll need to let your robot explore uninterrupted.
If the robot is interrupted, encounters an obstacle or becomes stuck, you will need to restart the mapping process.
Ensure that there is a clear path for your robot to navigate, so that it can map your whole home.
Remove any loose objects from the area you'd like to be mapped and check that all internal doors are open while the machine is active.
Once your robot has finished and returned to the dock, you will be able to view the generated map and any other existing maps on the Dyson Link app.
Check that you robot is able to move freely and has not become boxed in by obstacles. If it is, simply move the robot off or away from the obstacle and place somewhere it has already cleaned nearby.
Press the power button on your robot to resume cleaning.
If your robot gets stuck in the same place regularly, you can use the Dyson Link app to add a restriction for that area.
If your robot gets stuck in the same place regularly, you can use the Dyson Link app to add a restriction for that area.
There are three different types of restrictions you can create to suit your home.
When your robot enters a 'No climb' area, it will vacuum this area but will avoid climbing obstacles.
If your robot repeatedly gets caught on inclines or small objects, we would recommend creating this type of restriction.
When your robot enters a 'Brush bar off' area, it will vacuum this area with the brush bar switched off.
If your robot's brush bar regularly gets caught in the same area, we would advise creating this type of restriction.
'Avoid area' restrictions can be used to stop the robot cleaning certain areas.
It will avoid entering these areas during the clean.
Please follow the steps in the video.
If the status screen on the Dyson Link app no longer displays the zone the robot is currently cleaning, the robot may have detected a change in its location or the environment.
If the dock has recently been moved or a change in layout has occurred within the home, your robot will need to remap the space.
If the robot was unable to access a certain area, it will not appear on the map. So that the robot can map the whole home, please ensure there is a clear path for it to navigate.
Remove any loose objects from the area you'd like to be mapped and check that all internal doors are open while the machine is active.

If you would like to zone this new area for future cleaning, please assign it a location.
A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.
It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.
Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.
Only the filters can be washed, the bin can be cleaned with a damp cloth only. All parts must be completely dry before being refitted to the machine.
Under normal use, any unpleasant smell can only be caused by something the machine has picked up. We would advise checking the machine for blockages and washing the filters.
If you are able to identify which part of the machine the smell is coming from, replacing this part may resolve the issue.

Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filters need washing or your machine is blocked.
If your machine continues to overheat, please refrain from using it until it has cooled down sufficiently and then carry out the performance checks.
If your robot does not display any light, then it is likely that your robot was unable to return to dock to recharge and has shut down when its battery became low.
This can be caused by a combination of the robot becoming lost, a change in ambient lighting, the sensors needing to be cleaned or the room not being prepared correctly. Each of which will need to be checked.
The location of the dock may also need to be reconsidered.
Your robot will compensate for low light by using its LEDs to selectively illuminate dark areas. It is not designed to operate in complete darkness.
Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.
You should check all sensor covers and the navigational camera for dirt, dust, fingerprints and smears each time your robot completes a clean.
Wipe the sensor covers and navigational camera with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to clean.
Do not use cleaning fluids, liquids or sprays of any kind.
Each time you begin a clean, we recommend you:
Select a location where your dock will have a 50cm radius clear of other objects. This should include above your robot's dock, too.
You should choose a location close to your Wi-Fi router, to avoid connection issues.
We'd recommend a location close to the centre of your home, as this can lead to more reliable cleans.
We'd also recommend an area with sufficient lighting, although not a location in direct sunlight.

An animated blue ring indicates a software update is in progress.
If you have auto-update activated, your robot will automatically install the latest software. It must be inactive, on the dock and connected to Wi-Fi to update.
Once the software update has finished, the robot's lights will turn off.
Please don't interrupt your robot, when a software update is taking place.
The Wi-Fi light indicates your robot's connection status.
A pulsing Wi-Fi light indicates that your robot is attempting to connect to your home network. This will change to a solid Wi-Fi light when your robot is connected.
The robot needs to be connected with the Dyson Link app before it can establish a connection with your Wi-Fi router.
Please follow the next step for instructions on how to connect your machine.
Try removing your robot from its dock for approximately 30 seconds and then replacing it. This will force your robot to re-establish connection with your home network and the Dyson Cloud.
