I've had the Zodiac Baracuda G3 ever since I moved into this house about 2 years ago and it's been pretty effective at its job for what it is. For some reason a month or two ago, it suddenly always seems to get stuck on the stairs. This never happened before and I'm not sure how to prevent it. The deflector wheel happens to be at exactly the same height that it takes to get stuck on the stair... See attached for a picture. Has anyone dealt with this before? I can't get my mind around how to fix it or what would even suddenly cause this.

Solved! Ironically enough I removed the stair deflector wheel thing, now it doesn't get stuck. Weird.
I am going to edit your title to let everyone that finds this thread you fixed it! Well done!
I just started to have the same problem! I've had the cleaner now for about 2 months. It worked great, nevre got stuck. NOW, it seems everytime I look ou the back yard window it's stuck on yhe love seat/steps...the SAME location evrytime. I free it and it looks like it has a mind of it's own, it circles the pool, then heads right back to the same spot to get hung up....what';s up with that???!!! After a coupl,e of months of no hassles?? Pressure is correctly set, I sed the tool (gage) when I installed it. The filter is clean. Nothing is different other than now it gets stuck regularly....UGH....
