The mower has decided it can't find its way out of where it is — it's boxed in, stuck, or has ended up somewhere it shouldn't be.
Common causes
A narrow passage or gate the mower can enter but struggles to leave.
Boundary wire routed too tightly around obstacles or flower beds.
An obstacle, furniture or seasonal clutter penning it in.
A weak or missing guide/boundary signal in that part of the garden.
How to fix it
Free the mower and note exactly where it got stuck.
Widen narrow passages (follow the minimum corridor width in your manual) and pull the boundary wire slightly further from tight corners.
Clear obstacles and clutter from the mowing area.
If it keeps ending up in one dead end, adjust the boundary or add a guide wire to lead it home.
