If your batteries are running very low, this is the most likely source of your problems. 80% of my scooter repairs involve batteries. The fact that your scooter runs is a good thing. The fact that it runs only a few feet and gives you no error code when it stops indicates the electronics have no battery power to indicate a flash code. The back wheels jamming probably relates to a no power condition causing the brake to lock (it takes power to release the brake and turn the motor)
This scooter uses two U-1 batteries that last between 1 and 2 years. From your description, I would replace the batteries first and make any further determination of any problems, if any,after that. These batteries are available locally at a large discount (between $50 and $160 each) and can be installed with basic tools, saving you money on the labor charge.
Shop around for the best price. Charge the new batteries fully before use. Enjoy.
Hope this helps.

In the middle of juiceing, the machine abruptly stopped.

Some juicers have an automatic shut off in them that prevent the motor form burning out.

When mine shuts off, it invariably means it got backed up and some produce in on the blade or in the shoot..clearing that out and then turning on with mine --the juiceman turns it back on.

On my vitasmix and garbage disposal it has this motor saving feature but there is a little button ypou must hit to rest it. sometimes it comes right back on when the button is hit but sometimes waits as the motor is not sufficiently cooled down and will come back on when a short time passes.

Maybe juicing less stuff at each push will help. Mine tends to do this when I am juicing very rapidly and jamming stuff in or when something extra hard is in there and the motor overheats trying to cut it perhaps smaller pieces might help if the produce is hard or very fibrous.

Brakes jammed on

The causes and remedy for brake jamming:
As a first aid, loosen and then tighten any one of the front wheel bleeding nipple. This will free up the brakes.
- Front calipers pins jammed. (Re-grease the pins with graphite grease)
- Front calipers pistons jammed. (Remove the caliper one by one, do not remove the brake pipe, depress the brake pedal only one time then release, lift the caliper boot at one side with abrupt tool, just as we lift up our eye lid with thumb and index finger, pour few drops of brake oil DOT 3 into the boot, push back the piston to allow the caliper to fit on pads.
- Rear wheel's pistons jammed. (Free up the pistons, inspect the brake washers, replace rear wheel cylinders if brake washers are found swollen).
- Brake master cylinder defective. The brake jamming problem often arises when the brake master cylinder washers swell up due to aging or using wrong grade of brake oil. In such cases the washers expand and block the return line of the brake oil. If so, replace the brake master cylinder with original one.

When I place my Robo-Kleen in the pool, it now only travels about two feet, rocking back and forth. Occasionally, it will go a few additional feet, but then stops. I also don't seem to be getting the...

I would first check for obstructions in the front and back wheel axles. Then, take the top grill off and make sure that the impeller is not jammed. It sounds more likely to me that you are having a problem with the pool cleaners gear box or drive system. If it is still under warranty, send it back to the manufacturer. If its not, you will need to have it repaired by an experienced pool repair person.

My Robo-Kleen, when I first turn on goes forward a couple of feet, then goes in reverse for a couple of feet then stops altogether. Fan is still working while the wheels are turning however when the wheels...

It sounds like your gear box has gone out. If that is the case, the pool cleaners not going to work until you replace the gear box. Unfortunately, this is something that only a professional can do. Just to make sure that this is the problem, you should first check the wheels for any debris or damage. Then make sure that you don't have any clogs or jammed/cracked hoses.

The motor or transaxil lock up and stop the

Hi. Sounds like the circuit breaker ( over load switch ) is tripping out. If you let it sit for a few minutes, does it start to work again? Does it stop when you are driving onthe flat ground, or when you drive up a slope.
I have had cases where this happens to scooters going up a slope, usually because the circuit breaker is rated to low. Sometimes a faulty or burn't out motor will cause this fault.

Also check that the brake solenoid ( free-wheel )is releasing properly. Can you push the scooter when the brake is released?
Good luck. Neil.

Buzzing

If it is a buzzing noise, it is the Ballast for the lamp.
If it is more of a grinding sound, it is the Color Wheel motor.
Does it go away when you turn off the tv? If so, does it stop abruptly or does the sound tend to get softer (winding down noise)
If the noise stops abruptly it is probably the Ballast.
If the noise takes several seconds and seems to get softer until it stops about 30 sec later then it is the color wheel motor.
