If your Tapo Robot Vacuum isn't releasing water while mopping, here are some steps to get it back on track:

Step 1: Make sure the mop mount is installed properly.

When the mop mount is installed properly, the robot vacuum will give a voice prompt indicating that it has entered Mopping Mode, and you can adjust the water level in the Tapo App.

Step 2: Make sure the water tank does not add any cleaning agent.

The cleaning agent may damage the water tank. Therefore, it is suggested that water is used only.

Step 3: Wipe the metal contacts.

The metal contacts on the water tank and the main unit may be dirty. Please use a cloth dampened with water or alcohol to wipe them, then dry them with a tissue, ensuring the contacts are clean and shiny.
