My charger light is green when it is plugged in to the vacuum charging port (indicating full charge). But once I disconnect the vacuum and put it in water, it doesn’t turn on. The knob turns to ON position, but the blue light doesn’t come on and vacuum doesn’t move.

Submit Your Own IssueHello, I put the machine to charge but charger stays green and doesn’t charge it. I replaced the charger and it worked for the first 2 times charging successfully but third time same green light and no charge. What could it be? Thank you.
Submit Your Own IssueSame issue Unit worked really well for about a month. Cleaned it each time battery ran out and then charged. Now red light flashes in or out of pool. The troubleshooting guide does not supply resolution.
Submit Your Own IssueI have red and blue flashing lights which means it’s submerged when it isn’t even in the pool. I don’t know if anyone knows how to troubleshoot or call in that warranty? Thanks
Submit Your Own Issuei have a 30″ round pool. when the cleaner goes in it doesnt get the whole pool it only does half the pool and repeats areas it had allready went over. is this an issue with the device? or is this an issue with the numbers on the dial incorrectly set? what numbers should the dial be at for my size pool if that is the reason. thanks

Hello,
I’ve had my Aiper vacuum for 2 years now. Model: HJ1103J – which appears to be an equivalent of the Seagull 1000 – perhaps renamed since my purchase, as I do not recall that being the name when I purchased it. Nevertheless…
Last year, a motor unit stopped functioning, however, Aiper was kind enough to send me a new one. No problems all of last season after the replacement.
This year, after opening my pool, I used the vacuum and only experienced about 10 minutes of runtime before it decided it was done. My tray was not full. It was not heavy debridement. To note: the vacuum was stored in my basement during the off season – I am in a Midwest state.
At first, I figured maybe I didn’t see the light correctly on the charger and pulled it off too soon. I then put it on the charger and waited for the green light the next day.
After running it a second time, I ended up with the same problem. The vacuum lasted about 10 minutes, and I could visibly see only about 1/3 of the pool had been cleaned.
Has anyone had this issue not be related to the driver kit/battery?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Submit Your Own IssueSwitch knob is not turning on or off without force.
Submit Your Own IssueJust got ours 2 weeks ago and having same problem, know will NOT turn.. any solutions yet?
Submit Your Own IssueHaving the same problem after using twice any replies yet?
Hello,
Submit Your Own IssueI am also having a difficult time with the rotation of my selector dial. Did you fix your problem? What was the fix?
Thank you
Same problem- don’t see anyone has an answer??
Mine is in a slat pool and difficult to turn. I suspect that corrosion is the problem. Maybe a little WD-40?
Hi Debra,
Submit Your Own IssueDid you every find out why your knob would not turn?
Thanks,
Susan
Are yo in a salt pool? If so, WD40 does wonders.
Submit Your Own IssueMy machine is fully charged an after turning on lites are blue then turn red and not working.
Submit Your Own IssueSame failure as mine. It’s a faulty sensor. You have to send it back. Very poor craftsmanship and materials. Searching the forums, there are a lot of them having this issue. Seems to be a bad batch of boards. Good luck with the warranty process
Submit Your Own IssueOn my first try the machine cleaned the walls; on my second try the machine cleaned the floor of the pool; on my third try it again cleaned the pool floor. I believe I have’nt set the mode correctly… how do I find AUTO. I understand the machine will clean the floor until the battery is half spent, then it begins to work on the walls. How do I find the true AUTO setting? I don’t see an arrow, or any indication of where the selection button is set. Zee
Submit Your Own IssueI have a new super Aiper seagull 1000
Submit Your Own IssueI starts fine but won’t stay on the pool floor
It just wants to swim around the pool. I’ve tried adjusting the degrees on each end.
Will this vacuum work on above ground pool if there are wrinkles in the liner?
Submit Your Own IssueNot very well.. I had trouble with mine.. it wouldn’t not suck debris up out of the crevices
Submit Your Own IssueIt was fully charged, blue light on, set it in the pool and it took off about 5 feet and stopped. Blue light will not come on anymore even after charging. Not even a year old smh
Submit Your Own IssueHaving an issue where it’s fully charged but when I turn it on it flashes red🙄 and won’t turn on
Submit Your Own IssueBecause the selection indicator isn’t back in the top/off postion.
Submit Your Own IssueThats the problem I’m having. Where is the selection indicator at?
Aiper 1000 plug it in flashes blue lights but not charging
My Aiper seagull will run for a few minutes long the bottom of the pool and then it stops and won’t run anymore. If I take it out and turn it off and on it works again, but only for a few minutes. What’s happening?
Submit Your Own IssueMine is doing the same thing….. what’s the answer
Submit Your Own IssueSame thing with mine, and I’ve only used it twice.
