Hayward Pro climbs but doesnt circle back down

[nabril15]

Hello
As of recently, my Hayward navigator pro is acting strangely. I have taken it apart, replaced a set of worn out bearings, and all components look to be in fine working order. The cleaner
1) Climbs walls, and then gets stuck at the top of a step or the deep end bench (see pic)
2) As it reaches the far away corners, it gets stuck because the hose is stuck on a loop (see pic).

I know it's supposed to spin to one side after X minutes (i cant remember), but it appears to not be doing that. The inside gears look fine.
What else can I look at?

Thank you

reposting to get help.

Based on what I stated below, what is "better" one long hose of 25 feet or so? Or is it better to have individual hose segments?

I dont have any experience with suction cleaners sry. Perhaps someone else might

thank you Familyguy for replying.

anyone else? Please? I see my filter pressure at 5, which seems low, right? In the past i've seen it hover around 15-20, so maybe may low pressure = low suction and thus the behavior of my navigator???

I just joined and saw this post. It may be too late to help, but here goes.
Change your pressure to the Hayward. Too much and it does not "drop", or turn correctly.

ok, that's a new one. I always thought that the more pressure, the faster the gearbox spins, and thus climbing, etc. I will try this.

thank you

I think i can help here. There is a small blue thing that you can turn with a screwdriver (Otherwise known as the rear flap adjuster) Towards the back right of the unit. See what this is set at. If you turn it to I then the pool cleaner will not climb and get stuck like that. At II it will climb a little bit but most likely fall off once it gets up about halfway. You should also check the gearbox and the gears that turn the spindle on top of the cleaner that the hose connects to. Some of those may be bad. Also check that you are getting the correct amount of suction to the cleaner. The pressure shouldn't matter, in fact the lower the pressure the more water should be flowing unless there is a problem with the pump or your gauge is broken.
