The Polaris pool cleaners have three wheels with one driven wheel per side. This idler wheel rides between the two wheels on one side transferring power. It has raised edges that press against the tires and wear down over time. The symptom is only the driven wheel turns, the idler wheel slips, and the Polaris tends to run in circles.
To replace you carefully remove the screw holding it in, transfer the bearing to the new wheel and tighten the screw. The screws and bearings break easily, but inexpensive replacements are available from Amazon (and expensive replacements from your friendly neighborhood pool store :) )
I purchased a replacement wheel and then decided to try and make my own. The single wheel pictured is the new replacement. The wheel pictured on the Polaris is my design and is 2 years old! (I forgot to post the model.) Works perfectly.
