Remove the six screws from the side of the backup valve and remove the gear assembly and replace it with a new one.

Clean the bottom screen first.
Where the hose hooks to the wall you have a finger screen either in the wall or sticking out of the wall. Ether way pull that out and clean it.
Chech all of your hose floats and jet's make sure none leak and check the float inside the head. Good luck.

Here is a copy of the users manual for these pool cleaners:

Make sure that your automatic pool cleaner doesn't have an obstruction in the hose that might not immediately be visible. This could cause it to circulate in one end of the pool. Also, check the water pressure to ensure that it has enough force to travel the entire pool.

Your backup valve has probally gone bad. You just need to pull this out of the line and take it to a pool store and have the internal replaced. They will do this for just the price of the part in most places.

you have a clogged line. disassemble and clean it very good
it should work fine after cleaning all ports out

probably not...usually, this is just a dirty filter...i f that's clean, then try cleaning the propulsion jets w/a paper clip...also, if you've modified/cut away any hose over the years, that can screw up the geometry too and cause circling...also, check for lineleaks and overall pressure (~20psi usually, go higher if needed to avoid circling), and be sure the backup valve turns off when not backing up...if overall pressure is too low due to leaks, etc., it will circle.

If your automatic pool cleaner is going in circles, you might want to check your backup hydro-timer. If it is releasing most of the water out of the discharge hoke, you might need to replace the defective jet gear assembly. Also, make sure that the transporter jet is not plugged. Check your hose to make sure that there are not any obstructions that would prevent proper movement.

These automatic pool cleaners are pretty easy to troubleshoot. Make sure that the finger screen and energy filter are not dirty. If clogged or obstructed, both of these can cause the cleaner to go in circles and stall. Make sure that the backup hydro-timer is not releasing most of the water out of the discharge hole. If it is, you will probably have to replace the defective jet gear assembly. Make sure that the transporter jet is not plugged and that the debris chamber and hose are not obstructed.

What model is it? Is it robotic (indepentdent of your pump and filter)? If it is attached to your pump system, it could be the cord getting tangled and causing the pool cleaner to move in circles. You might want to consider running it when you are available to watch it or getting a robotic cleaner that you can set to operate at certain times. You might just need to check the hose for defects that would cause it tangle.

On these automatic pool cleaners, the finger screen or energy filter being blocked/clogged is often to blame for the cleaner not moving properly. Check them and clean if they look blocked. You will also want to check for a hole in hose that would cause it to lose pressure. Also, check to make sure that the transporter jet is not plugged.

I think they are using what you did as an excuse to cover their oops, They should stand by their installation and fix it for nill. if the concrete is not standing up to the p[ool , then they did not engineer the installation and make it good for the support of the pool
they drive cars on 6 inches of concrete, and if installed correctly it will last forever

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

On Jandy's website, about 3/4 of the way down in the right-hand column, you will see several links to various Ray-Vac documents. Focus on the gunite versions if your pool is cement or plaster.

Que? No habla.

Check your hoses to be sure their are no holes and the line jet's and swivels are in good shape. Then check your back up valve to be sure that it is cycling through it's whole cycle.

The rear jet could be the problem?

You should be able to get your pool shop to rebuild this for you, usually just for the cost of parts. Then you should take it in to them once a year to be checked as prevention is worth more than cure. Good luck.

You have a head float inside the head that has probally cracked and filled with water. You can take this apart yourself or your pool store will probally do this for you for just the price of the part. Then they can look over the whole thing for you. Just remove the head and bring it into the store. Good luck.

I would suspect you have debris in the pump chamber - maybe a coin or stone. Disassemble it - be prepared to replace the seal and the impeller.

ONE OF THE CAPACITOR MAY BE BAD CHANGE THEM BEFORE MOTOR REPLACEMENT .CHECK IMPELLER FOR ANY DEBRIES BLOCKING
