Hope this helps. **Q: My MX6 stays on back wheels and doesn’t move what can cause this?** A: If the hose is weighted try moving it further from the unit. Also the hose is too short and the head is pulling causing it to tilt back. **Q: My mx6 stopped turning what part needs to be replaced?** A: It is probably your direction controls. When mine does that, I just replace both the side A and side B. They are pretty simple to replace. **Q: Will this work on the MX6 also?** A: Hello Heather Jordan, This will also work on the MX6. We hope this response was helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Best Regards,Zodiac Pool SystemsManufacturer of Jandy, Polaris, and Zodiac products ## Frequently Bought Together - Zodiac Genuine Parts Direction Control Device, Side A R0524700, Gearbox for Maintaining Turning and Precise Navigation for Zodiac Suction Cleaners MX6, MX6 Elite, MX8, MX8 Elite - PEUTIER 2 Packs Pool Cleaner Parts for MX8 MX8EL MX6 MX6EL Elite, Pool Cleaner Drive Shaft Tune-up Accessories Assembly Pool Cleaner Replacement Parts for Zodiac, with Pool Engine Wheel Bearing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/50660359-zodiac-genuine-parts-direction-control-device-side-a-r0524700](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50660359-zodiac-genuine-parts-direction-control-device-side-a-r0524700) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
