- Inspect and clean both side driving wheels
- Turn the power switch off for 2 seconds or press RESET
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Free the robot from obstacles and place it on level flooring
- Who:
- you, after switching off the main power switch on the Conga.
- How:
- check whether the robot got trapped on a cord, threshold or rug edge and move it onto a clear, level floor area before inspecting the underside.
- Result that matters:
- making sure no external obstacle is pinning the chassis or wheels.
- If the Conga was snagged on an obstacle and drives normally on open flooring:
- clear cords before cleaning.
- If the steady red light with 1 beep happens on open flooring:
- inspect both driving wheels.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the spot where the Conga stopped and the underside wheel area.

Inspect and clean both side driving wheels
- Who:
- you, turning the switched-off Conga upside down on a soft surface.
- How:
- examine both side driving wheels, pull out any hair, string or foreign object blocking the wheel well and wipe the wheels with a soft dry cloth.
- Result that matters:
- restoring free rotation to both driving wheels without opening the casing.
- If removing trapped debris lets both wheels turn smoothly:
- set the robot back upright on the floor.
- If both driving wheels are clean but the steady red light and single beep persist:
- reset the robot.
- Evidence to keep:
- note indicating which driving wheel felt stiff or contained debris.

Turn the power switch off for 2 seconds or press RESET
- Who:
- you, using the main power switch or RESET button on the robot.
- How:
- following Cecotec's troubleshooting guide, turn the power switch off, wait 2 seconds and turn it back on again, or press the RESET button and confirm the battery is charged.
- Result that matters:
- clearing the latched driving wheel error after freeing the wheels.
- If the steady red light turns off and the Conga resumes cleaning:
- the wheel stall was temporary.
- If the single beep with steady red light returns immediately:
- contact official Cecotec Technical Support.
- Evidence to keep:
- short video of the robot powering on and emitting 1 beep with a steady red indicator.

What it means
In the official Cecotec instruction manuals for the Conga 2290 Ultra, Conga 2299 Ultra Home X-Treme T and Conga 2499 Ultra X-Treme, the troubleshooting table for beeps while the indicator light is steady red assigns 1 beep to a driving wheel error (Driving-wheel fault). Other Cecotec Conga series with laser navigation or app screens may report wheel faults differently. This alert alone never proves that the wheel motor has failed: tangled hair in the wheel well or an obstacle trapping the chassis frequently stops the wheel without permanent hardware damage.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Driving wheel blocked by tangled hair, thread or debrisCommon
Foreign objects wedged inside either side driving wheel cavity stop the wheel from turning smoothly during cleaning.

- Robot trapped or stuck on a floor obstacle or thresholdPossible
The robot vacuum cleaner gets caught on a loose cable, rug edge or threshold and suddenly stops working to protect the drive train.

- Latched controller fault or internal driving wheel motor failureLess common
The control board keeps the wheel fault active until reset, or the internal wheel gearbox requires servicing by Cecotec Technical Support.
