Front bumper stick error
We're having an issue where the hoover stops and states the bumper is stuck when it isn't.
No foreign object in-between the bumper and sensors are clean (it's only 7 days old)
Has been working flawlessly up until today.
Tried pressing around the bumper and it feels fine and rebounds back the same all round.
I have tried all the tips on the troubleshooting page and I still get the error. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Manually press the front bumper to see if it rebounds normally. If it doesn't rebound smoothly, apply some lubricant to the green area shown in the image below (if available).
Note: Do not apply lubricant to the cliff sensor, which is indicated in red.

Hi Wayne thanks for the guide but like I stated I've been through it and tried it. I've now sent the product back and ordered another. Thank you.
