Dolphin robotic pool cleaners are easy to use and are a convenient way to keep your pool clean. However, you may experience issues with your Dolphin cleaner that cause it to stop working or move slow or even fail to start. There are many possible causes for these problems and a few easy troubleshooting steps can help you get your Dolphin back up and running.

First, check to see that the power supply is plugged in and has power. If it does, the next step is to make sure that there aren’t any blockages in the hose or intake valve. It’s also important to check that the filters are not full as they can prevent proper suction.

If the cleaner is moving slowly or not at all, it could be an issue with the brushes or scrubbers, tracks or treads, or your pool chemistry. If the problem is with the brushes, scrubbers or tracks, you can try cleaning them with a brush or replacing them altogether. You can also balance your pool chemistry to resolve this issue.

Another common problem with Dolphin robot cleaners is the “Full Bag/Cartridge Indicator” light coming on even when the bag or cartridge isn’t full. This can be caused by a variety of things, from algae blooms to a faulty floatation device. If the indicator light isn’t registering properly, you can check the status of the bag or cartridge by using a multimeter.

In some cases, the robot’s motor or cables may be defective and need to be replaced. This can be a difficult task to do, so you will want to make sure that the replacement is the correct model for your particular dolphin.

It’s always a good idea to test the power supply and cable with a multimeter before trying to replace them. This tool can be used to check the continuity of the wires, as well as their voltage and amp rating. To do this, set the multimeter to AC setting and select a voltage label that is higher than 120-volts. Plug the black probe into the long plug on the power supply and the red pin into the short plug. The multimeter should beep if the wires have continuity. If it doesn’t, you will need to replace the power supply or the cable. You can find the necessary parts online or at a local electronics store. Alternatively, you can contact Dolphin for further support.
