    Ben's right. Most likely they will want to repair it as a warranty item. I've had Dolphins and Blue Diamonds repaired (And BD has GREAT service!)

    You can fix this yourself, though if still under warranty - call the maker.
    I know you can fix it because I've done this. My old (must be 6 years now) Aquabot was doing the same thing last year and I figured "as old as it is what do I have to lose?"
    There is an excellent website out there that details the procedure, testing to ensure this is the problem, etc. I won't post the site as that may violate forum rules, but you can literally search your problem and the site comes up.
    Basically, you have to take it apart and cut the cord (the issue you describe is typically due to a break in one of the wires inside the insulated floating cord) then strip some of the insulation and connect the leads to the powersupply inside the aquabot. This does involve quite a bit of work - and you will literally be taking the innards out of the aquabot - so only do this if you're pretty handy! Then again, I don't consider myself to all that handy and I was able to do it.
