Left/Right Wheel Module
The J7 must climb a plastic ramp to dock; if the rubber tread is worn or hardened, the robot will experience 'slippage' during the transition from floor to dock. This prevents the robot from reaching the charging contacts before the software timeout occurs, leading the robot to abandon the docking attempt.

Roomba j Series Home Base
The j7 series relies on a specific infrared (IR) beam and a visual QR-code decal on the dock for alignment. If the internal IR emitter fails or the visual decal is damaged/faded, the robot will wander or fail to center itself correctly on the charging pins.

Cleaning/Maintenance Kit (Isopropyl Alcohol & Microfiber)
Statistically, the most common docking failure is invisible oxidation on the charging contacts and smudges on the front-facing camera lens. Using 70% isopropyl alcohol removes the non-conductive film that prevents the robot from detecting a successful electrical connection upon touchdown.
