Roomba Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

If Roomba continues to indicate the bin is full after you have emptied the bin, it means you have not thoroughly cleaned the bin full sensors and/or the sensor ports. After you have cleaned all six full bin sensors and ports, it may be necessary to clear the error by rebooting the robot.

If your Roomba 980 is still displaying an error 10 (left wheel error) after installing a new module wheel, it could be due to a problem with the new module wheel or with another part of the vacuum. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Make sure that the new module wheel is properly installed and seated in the vacuum.
2. Check the connections between the module wheel and the vacuum's main board to make sure they are secure and not loose.
3. Check the left wheel and the left wheel motor to make sure they are not damaged or malfunctioning.
4. If the problem persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, you may need to take the vacuum to a repair center for further diagnosis and repair.

I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

it means a charging error

Overview. Error one (1) means your robot is on an obstacle or an uneven surface and a side wheel is stuck. If this is the case, lift your robot off the floor, place it in the center of the room, and restart the clean cycle. If this error occurred on a flat surface, check the wheels for obstructions.

Roomba®: Error 1 - iRobot support

Paint them with contact adhesive and let it dry for 24 hours. Give it a second coat and let that dry. You now have a grippy surface. You could even add some elastic bands to the adhesive. I use this and it comes with a brush. https://www.lowes.ca/product/construction-adhesive/lepage-250ml-contact-cement-adhesive-272899 ..

Many Roomba manuals are available here: https://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/843/p/3721/c/255;252 . The direct link to the US version of the manual for the Roomba 600 series vacuums is https://homesupport.irobot.com/euf/assets/images/faqs/roomba/600/legacy/manual/en-US.pdf . The 652 isn't listed separately. However, I suspect the 650 and 652 are very similar. I hope this helps.

Hi Jerry- I found this link. https://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/592/~/roomba-500%2C-600%2C-700-series-will-not-return-to-its-home-base%C2%AE-or-runs-past I also found these youtube videos to fix the Roomba not docking on its own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3fJc6AP3gI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItVt8RM6BBI Hope this helps.

Sounds like it is clogged with hair, etc. Refer to owners manual trouble shooting section.

One of the wheels are jammed or sensor is faulty. I hope you returned or exchanged it by now!

Your carpet may have thickened seams. Therefore, the robot can bounce a little when it passes through these places. I have some vintage rugs from the DorisLeslieBlau gallery. Since they are made by hand, their seams are not always perfectly executed. But this makes them unique. But as for cleaning them, I prefer to leave it to the professionals. Due to the fact that the carpet is painted with natural colors, the usual cleaning products can do harm. So pay attention to it too!

Replace battery, they don’t hold charge as much as new ones, when you leave it charging everyday and use it one or twice a week battery will max out on charges

I'm far from a Roomba expert and only clicked on your question out of curiosity given my background and as there was a similar question earlier Id passed. A little research... Roomba NiMh battery pack is 14.4 v full charge. NiMh charging is a bit complicated, suffice to say it will eventually go well over 16V. I would expect the charging station to have an initial charge voltage in excess of 12.5V. What I don't know is if its always on or waits to see if a load (roomba) attaches and then turns on its output. So if you measured the power, contacts on the charger with a voltmeter and you get better than 12V likely its good, but really need to know what the voltage is when Roomba (with nominal battery pack) is docked. Its likely the battery pack in the Roomba has a bad cell and will need replaced. You could measure the battery voltage but likely its low from not taking a charge. If its 14+ then the charger is working and the Roomba is misreporting.

Selecting the Wi-Fi connected Roomba robot language. Roomba comes with a default language pack for the robot's spoken messages. Each language pack vary by region.

1. Open the iRobot HOME App and select More ? Settings ? Robot Language.
2. Choose either from your robots Installed Languages or select from the Additional Languages.
3. On Roomba 900 Series and i Series you can choose either from your robots Installed Languages or select from the Additional Languages.

The factory default will return the robot's languages to the default pack that came with the robot. Languages can only be changed when on your local Wi-Fi Network. see... https://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/list/

As with all vacuum cleaners, the unit can get dirty inside. There is a sensor under the brush unit that hears dirt hit it and triggers the circular cleaning action. This sensor looks like a dime sized hole with a bronze piece inside. Also the unit can be disassembled by removing 4 screws on the bottom and removing the top.

There are optical sensors by each wheel and they can become dusty and need cleaning.

Usually 2 buttons to press and hold.
