MX6 rides on its back wheels. Moved the weight to every position also replaced the directional control module inside. Treads are fine nothing clogging hose or any part of the assembly. Bottom fan and treads rotate and hose has strong suction but it will not run upright it always runs on its back wheels?

I have an mx6 and am very happy with it . I have replaced the interior parts with the tune up kit. The problem lies in that the cleaner creates air into the filtration system. Without the robot connected the system doesn’t produce air . I have checked the hoses to the cleaner no sucking . I have weighted the hose to be under water still the air persists. Therefore it has to be the MX6. Do the cleaning propellers create air in H2O? Frustrating.

My MX6 will not turn- it just slips the gear drive so the whole device just turns in circles as the B side is pretty much direct drive and works fine.

One track of my MX6 pool cleaner keeps walking off the sprocket. Just replaced almost everything including bearings,gears and directional control.

Submit Your Own IssueGet the tune up kit from Zodiac . I expect the direction gearing inside needs replacement. Easy to do watch video online costs about €100
