Match the exact light, sound or behaviour before cleaning, resetting or ordering anything. Confirm “Charging base under furniture prevents reliable docking” exactly, including the full number, colour, flash order, spoken phrase or screen text. If any element differs, use the guide for that other indication instead. Electrolux — Pure i9 dock clearance documents this condition for Electrolux Pure i9.2. It identifies the branch to test, but it does not by itself prove that a battery, motor, board, sensor, dock or replaceable part has failed. Move the base out from under the bed, chair or cabinet and place it against a wall with 0.5 m clear on each side and 1.5 m in front. Retest return-to-base before changing contacts, battery or navigation parts. Power the robot off and remove it from the dock before turning it over or touching a moving part. Keep charging contacts dry and never open the battery pack or electronics housing. Run only one normal start, charge or cleaning cycle after the documented check. If “Charging base under furniture prevents reliable docking” returns unchanged, record the code, model and serial number and contact authorised Electrolux support instead of repeating resets or guessing a part.
