Why does my Liberty power on but not move?
Short answer: Check the charge and water placement, clean the filters, inspect the tracks and brushes, and check Eco Mode on Liberty 300/400.
Charge your Liberty until the power unit shows 3 steady LEDs. Then start it and place it fully underwater within 30 seconds.
