To achieve high-quality prints, the nozzle must make the correct amount of contact with the print surface. If this is not achieved, your printer will display the message "Nozzle cleaning failed."
Once the message appears, you have the option to abort the print, ignore the nozzle cleaning and start the print, or retry the nozzle cleaning.

For redoing the nozzle cleaning, you can choose to purge filament to clean the nozzle of debris. This will purge the filament and retract it so it does not ooze. After that, the printer will redo the nozzle cleaning. If it does not solve the issue, try checking the items below.
Check if the nozzle has residue. Debris on the nozzle or heater block can affect its thermal properties. To clean it, go to the printer menu in Control -> Temperature -> Nozzle, and heat the nozzle for three to five minutes at 250 °C, as the remains of the filament must be melted slightly so they can be removed easily.
Use a small brass brush to remove any old plastic stuck on the nozzle and heaterblock.
Avoid contact of the brush with the hotend cables, as this could cause a short circuit.
Caution: the printer is still at a hot temperature! Wait until the hot parts are cooled down to ambient temperature. It takes approximately 10 minutes. Do not touch it! Always check the values on the display.
The CORE One that is equipped with INDX has a tool that is passively heated. To clean it, first pick up the tool on the printer menu in Control -> Pick/park tool, then heat the nozzle normally.
Be careful not to damage the induction components.
Make sure that the steel sheet is clean of any residue. For the smooth, textured, or satin sheet, clean with 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
Also, make sure that there is nothing between the steel sheet and the heatbed.
If the extruder needs to make too much effort to pull the filament, the nozzle cleaning error can be triggered. If this error is being shown when you are using a spool heavier than 2 kg, try changing to a smaller one for testing. Also, if you have a custom setup for your filament path, make sure that the filament is not getting caught anywhere.
If using a printer with multiple spools loaded, check if the issue is triggered when a specific tool is loaded. If this happens, the spool might be tangled.
The nozzle on the Nextruder must be at the correct height and securely tightened. Before proceeding to the next steps, ensure that the nozzle is cooled down.
On single-tool XL, after removing the x-carriage cover, hold the heater block (make sure that the nozzle is not heated!), and use the Torx TX8 key as shown in the picture to tighten the set screw. Do not use extra force while tightening, as it may damage the hotend tube. The nozzle must be approximately at a 35°-40° angle to avoid damaging the hotend cables.

On the multi-tool XL, identify the tool that has the nozzle to be checked, and park it. Hold the heater block (make sure that the nozzle is not heated!), and use the Torx TX8 key in the part shown in the picture to tighten the set screw. Do not use extra force while tightening, as it may damage the hotend tube. The nozzle must be approximately at a 35°-40° angle to avoid damaging the hotend cables.
Once this is done, with the printer still cold and off, check whether the heater block has any rotational play. If the heater block can rotate:
Then, loosen the thumb screws (do not completely remove the screws, a few turns are enough) on the side of the heatbreak, and push the nozzle up. Tighten the thumb screws just by hand, do not use any tools. After tightening the thumb screws, try moving the hotend to the sides and make sure it does not move.
If you have a Nozzle Adapter, check the installation again to make sure that the nozzle has not been lowered or loosened with the installation of the adapter.

If the issue happens multiple times, go to the printer menu in Control - Calibrations & Tests - 7. Dock Calibration. Make sure to push the toolchanger completely into the tool during the calibration.
The Z-axis bearing housings serve as the end stops for the Z-axis. It is essential to maintain a slight clearance between the Z-axis bearing housings and the heatbed frame when the printer is in its top position.
This way, during the mesh bed leveling and the autohome procedures, there can be an ideal amount of tiny contact between the nozzle and the print surface.
A clearance that is too small can cause the "Nozzle Cleaning Failed" warning message to appear. In this case, to achieve the ideal clearance, slightly loosen the bolts securing the bearing housings.
If the warning message still appears, slightly loosen the mentioned bolts once again, keeping in mind to still have the Z-axis bearing housings reasonably tight and held in place.
Once you find an ideal tightness for the bolts that works and holds the Z-axis bearing housings in place, keep the change permanent.
Some of the Nextruder bolts, if too tight, might generate extra forces that can be sensed by the loadcell, skewing its readings, hence potentially causing the issue. Check if slightly loosening the following bolts, while having the parts still tight and secured in place, can solve the issue.
Check if the hotend fan is not overtightened. You can loosen the screws by 1/2 a turn.

Temporarily remove the hotend fan by removing the previously adjusted bolts. This will expose the heatsink/loadcell. Then, loosen very slightly the three bolts that hold the heatsink/loadcell in place.

The loadcell wires are in the printer's heatsink. The wires and the seal that protects them may get damaged. To access the seal, remove the four screws that hold the front case. Then remove the front case, together with the PG-ring, gearbox, and main plate in one piece. Note that the seal might be white or black.

Having the expansion joints in the wrong orientation can cause multiple errors, including the Nozzle cleaning failed. Make sure that all of them have the full side facing the center of the carriage.
