Why Does My Aiper Scuba S1 Keep Spinning in Circles?
Exact model: Aiper Scuba S1
Safety: Disconnect the relevant power source and isolate moving, hot or pressurized components before service.
A.
Start with the accessible checks
What this suggests: A Scuba S1 circling continuously often has unequal track traction, a seized wheel or misread orientation sensor; first rule out a slipped, cracked or debris-bound track.
What to do
- Switch off, remove from water and turn each track and wheel by hand.
- Clear hair, stones and grit from the side drive, inspect plastic rollers and replace a broken track wheel/track using the manual's cover, axle-fastener and D-bush procedure.
Still not fixed? Continue to the next check.

If the problem remains after the first checks
What to do
- A successful S1 user repair involved replacing a fractured plastic track wheel.
- Restart on a level pool floor and distinguish deliberate wall-edge turning from endless circles.
Confirm the repair
Both tracks drive evenly and the robot follows a complete cleaning route. Internal navigation/drive-board issues are not solved by arbitrary firmware resets.
