Hello,
I am having an issue with my Polaris 9550 where it is deciding it wants to go backwards and then flip over. Over and over again.
I believe the issue that is triggering it is the beach area safeguard where it will reverse itself to attempt to remain in the pool. I do not have a beach area, so all it does is reverse and flip over way too much.
I tried using the remote to guide it manually and it still decides to go in reverse despite the remote input telling it otherwise, which makes me believe that this beach area fail-safe is being triggered. What I don't understand is what triggers the reversing.
I saw an old post here where someone had changed the circuit board and control unit, but neither had an effect on the problem.

That must mean that the beach area failsafe must be triggered elsewhere? The main propeller motor was not replaced in that thread, so perhaps the beach failsafe works by checking the propeller motor resistance (different resistance in and out of water) ?
The filter basket is clean.
Over the years I have had the robot open and fixed so many things but now it feels like this is the final boss of Polaris robot problems. Normally I enjoy a challenge but this is ridiculous.
Has anyone seen this before and have a fix? I wish there was some way to disable the failsafe, but that is probably impossible to know.

Polaris 9550 Sport Troubleshooting Help
My Polaris 9550 sport has not worked properly for about 9 months now. It starts a cleaning cycle ok, but after one or two times of climbing the wall, reversing down, and turning to start another forward swath, it stalls out for about 5 seconds, then starts driving backwards until it goes up the...
