DIRECT ANSWER

Non-stop beeping on DEEBOT 500/600/601/661 means the robot is suspended or its driving wheels are tangled. The official fix: put it back on the ground, gently pat the bumper, and clean the driving wheels.

COMMON CAUSES · RANKED

1

Robot beached or lifted mid-clean MOST COMMON

High thresholds, clutter and curious hands leave a wheel hanging in the air — the alarm stops once the robot sits flat on the floor again.

2

Cords or fringe around a driving wheel

Charging cables and rug fringes wind into the wheels and stall them — the official routine is cleaning the driving wheel per the manual's maintenance section.

3

Bumper held compressed UNCOMMON

The official solution includes gently patting the bumper — debris wedged behind it keeps the robot convinced it is trapped.

HOW TO FIX IT

No battery or electrical work involved in this fix.

Put the robot back on open floor

Lift it off the obstacle and set it down flat, away from thresholds and cables.

Pat the bumper clear

Tap gently along the bumper so trapped debris drops out and it springs back freely on both sides.

Clean both driving wheels

Power off, flip the robot, and remove hair and debris from both wheels — cut tight wraps with scissors — until each spins freely.

Restart and watch the first minutes

Start a clean on flat floor; if the continuous beeping returns with clean wheels, contact ECOVACS support.
