The Hayward Ladybug Cleaner sticks at ladder or wall

Cause Solution
  • Improper vacuum
  • It may be necessary to purchase an AXV096P, “In-Line” vacuum gauge  from your hayward  dealer to verify performance of our system
  • Worn shoes
  • Replace shoes
  • Hose too short
  • Add additional hose per installation instructions
  • Stuck on ladder
  • Remove ladder or install a Hayward AXW100 Ladder Bumper
  • Steering failure
  • Check and clean rear screen
  • Check to see if cone gear rotates smoothly in both directions
If the cleaner appears to be stuck or “hung up” at the wall, ladder, or other obstruction, or anywhere else in the pool, and does return to normal  operation within a minute or so, turn the filter system OFF, Remove the cleaner from your pool. Check for blockages or any other obvious problems. Check the Bumper Ring for free rotation. Check filter system for water flow and re-install the cleaner. If the cleaner is getting stuck, contact your Hayward dealer of Hayward at 1-800-227-1477. Under no conditions should the cleaner remain in the pool connected to the filter system if the problem of getting stuck or “hung-up” is not corrected

Hayward Ladybug Pool Cleaner Not Working?

If you're experiencing issues with your Hayward Ladybug pool equipment, you're not alone. Many users have faced similar challenges and have shared their experiences to help others troubleshoot and resolve these problems.

  1. My ladybug is not cleaning the whole pool, she only doing certain parts, will not travel to the rest of the pool. The part she is traveling is spotless. Any ideas on the problem as to why she will no longer clean the whole pool?
