Wanda the whale problems

[Ledvedder]

Hi everyone,
I've been using a Wanda the whale pool cleaner for 4 seasons now and never had any issues. Recently, it's been moving to the side wall of the pool and just stays there. Never turns back toward the center of the pool. I've checked the water flow and it's good. Took it apart to confirm it wasn't clogged. All other parts are operating good, as far as I can tell (shoes, flaps, etc.)

Any thoughts?

are your jets pointed differently than they generally are that may be leading her to one area?
Here’s the manual that has some troubleshooting stuff in it

Alternatively,
From what I understand those units do wear out after a few years & need to be replaced as there are some parts in there that just aren’t replaceable.
