Recharge-and-resume behaviour depends on the model and on how the original job ended. A cancelled run is not always treated like a low-battery pause.

Start with these checks
- Check whether the model supports automatic continuation for that cleaning mode.
- Look for do-not-disturb settings that delay resuming.
- Confirm the original task was paused for charging rather than manually ended.
What this looks like at home
Pressing stop while the robot returns to charge may cancel the remaining rooms instead of letting it continue later.
Follow the whole job, including the return
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Start | Correct day, local time, charge and selected rooms. |
| During cleaning | Open routes and suitable debris. |
| Finish | Successful return and expected dock activity. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not assume advertised runtime equals uninterrupted cleaning at your chosen suction level.
Buy a part only after identifying the cause
Check the exact model and part reference before buying. If cleaning resolves the problem, a replacement may be unnecessary.

What the result tells you
Record whether the app still shows an unfinished job while charging. If it shows the task as cancelled or complete, the expected next action may differ from an active recharge-and-resume job.
