It’s annoying to see your Bissell SpinWave robot stop and beep continuously. So why does your Bissell SpinWave robot keep stopping and beeping?

The most common reason why your Bissell SpinWave robot is stopping and beeping is because of tangled hair, dust, and debris in either the driving wheels, or the main brush roller. Once you clean the wheels and brushes thoroughly, your Bissell SpinWave robot should work normally.

However, there are a total of ten possibilities why a Bissell SpinWave stops and beeps. In this post, we will show you how to troubleshoot a Bissell SpinWave robot that keeps stopping and beeping.

Why Does My Bissell SpinWave Robot Keep Stopping and Beeping

If a Bissell CrossWave robot detects a problem, it will stop, produce a beeping sound, and the button light will flash or produce a solid light. Here is how to troubleshoot the beeping sound:

  1. One beep with flashing red light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps one time and the button light is flashing red, then the robot is trapped, lifted, or the cliff sensors are dirty. Place the robot on the floor away from objects and resume cleaning. If error persists, turn the robot OFF and use a dry cloth to clean the three cliff sensors on the bottom of the robot.
  2. One beep with solid red light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps one time and the button light is flashing a solid red light, then the robot’s left or right wheel is stuck. Turn the robot OFF and remove hair and debris from the wheels.
  3. One beep with flashing white light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps on time and the button light is flashing white, then the robot’s water pump has failed. For this issue, you need to contact Bissell’s consumer care.
  4. Two beeps with solid red light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps two times and the button light is flashing a solid red light, then the robot’s edge cleaning brushes are stuck. Turn OFF the robot and remove hair and debris from edge cleaning brushes.
  5. Two beeps with flashing white light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps two times and the button light is flashing white, then the robot’s bumper is stuck or the robot is trapped. Turn OFF the robot and tap the bumper several times to release any debris that may have accumulated.
  6. Two beeps with flashing red and white light alternately - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps two times and the button light is flashing red and white alternately, then the robot is trapped on carpet during mop mode. Move the robot from a carpeted area to a hard floor and resume cleaning.
  7. Three beeps with flashing red light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps three times and the button light is flashing red, then the robot’s front caster wheel sensor is blocked. Turn the robot OFF and remove the front caster wheel assembly. Clear any debris from the assembly housing then reinstall the wheel.
  8. Three beeps with solid red light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps three times and the button light is flashing solid red light, then the robot’s brush roll is stuck. Turn the robot OFF and remove any hair and debris from the brush roll.
  9. Three beeps with flashing red and white light alternately - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps three times and the button light is flashing red and white alternately, then the robot has low water. Remove the mop tank and refill within 3 minutes to resume cleaning.
  10. Three beeps with flashing white light - If a Bissell SpinWave robot beeps three times and the button light is flashing white, then the robot’s water tank motor has failed. Clean contacts on the side of the mop tank and ensure nothing is wrapped around either pad driver. If the issue persists, replace the tank.

In most cases, you should be able to troubleshoot any Bissell SpinWave robot that stops and beeps by using the simple guide above. If the robot is still beeping, contact customer service.

If all else fails, you should try resetting your Bissell SpinWave.
