How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Error 2 means the rubber brushes in your Roomba are clogged and need to be cleaned.
Error nine (9) means the bumper is stuck and is not moving freely. Briskly tap the bumper several times to dislodge any debris that may be trapped underneath, and then press CLEAN to restart.
Charging error two (2) means a fault has been detected and your Roomba® or Braava® battery is not charging. The error indicator will vary by model. To clear the error, run the robot or remove and reinstall the battery. Check robot and Home Base for liquid damage.
Charging Error 7 indicates the battery is not charging. Check that you are using an authentic iRobot® Lithium Ion Battery. Charging errors can occur with counterfeit batteries. Ensure that Roomba is being charged at room temperature.
Error five (5) means the left wheel cannot turn. Please check the following: If Roomba® is stuck under an obstacle, move it to a new location and press CLEAN to restart. Use Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barriers to block off problem areas.
Error three (3) means your j series robot is on an obstacle or an uneven surface and the Right Wheel is stuck. If this is the case, lift your Roomba® 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 Right Wheel for obstructions.
Charging Error Four (4) means no charge current is being received by the robot. A Robot reboot will usually resolve this issue. To reboot your Roomba: Press and hold the CLEAN button for 20 seconds.
Error six (6) means that your s Series Roomba is stuck over an edge, or is on a threshold. Move your s Series Roomba to a new location, then press CLEAN to restart. You may need to use a Virtual Wall® to block off problem areas. If this does not resolve the issue, the cliff sensors may be dirty.
Charging error three (3) means your Roomba®/ Braava® charging system on the robot isn`t working properly, and your robot may need to be replaced. If the error persists, please contact iRobot Customer Care for assistance.
Error 50 means your robot tried to detect the pad that is attached when beginning a cleaning job, but the pad detection sensor timed out. Ensure the pad is properly installed and you are using iRobot Authentic Pads when running your robot mop. If the error persists, please contact iRobot Customer Care.
Charging Error 6 indicates the battery is not charging. Check that you are using an authentic battery. Charging errors can occur with counterfeit batteries. Ensure that Roomba is being charged at room temperature.
Error seven (7) means the Side Wheels cannot turn. This can happen if your j series robot was started on an uneven surface or got stuck on an obstacle. If this is the case, lift your Roomba® off the floor and place it in the center of the room and restart the clean cycle.
Error 10 means a side wheel cannot turn. Please check the following: If Roomba gives this error when it is stuck under an obstacle, move Roomba to a new location and press CLEAN to restart.
Charging error five (5) means your Robot`s charging system isn`t working correctly. Please remove and reinstall the battery to clear this error. Note: Confirm that you are using an authentic Robot® Lithium-Ion Battery. Unknown charging errors can occur with aftermarket purchased batteries.
Error five (5) indicates that one or both of the side wheels cannot turn. Check the side wheels for obstructions. Push the wheels up and down several times and shake out any loose debris that may be trapped in the wheel well.

Fixing a TypeError
You typically fix a TypeError by casting your value(s) to the correct type. In general, to fix a TypeError, think carefully about the types of the values in the line that Python highlighted for you. The types are not compatible. So decide which types you really want, then use casts.
To view a Clean Map™ Report of the most recently performed cleaning job, open the iRobot® HOME App and select the card under History from the Home screen. To see other previous cleans, either scroll through the cards to the left or select the > next to History.
iRobot Roomba vacuums can operate even with simple ambient light, but not in total darkness. What may help with either the i7 or s9 robots is to run a training mission and/or clean your floors with the closet light on until your floor plan map is complete.
The E3 error code indicates the unit has detected there is no refrigerant. The unit will require a repair service for refrigerant to be added, please visit Request a Repair page for further assistance.
In both situations, the error is the same: the computer could not find the path to the file. Sometimes referred to as a pathname, a path is the complete location or name where a file is located.
Charging error one (1) means your Roomba® or Braava® cannot sense the battery is installed. Your robot will not charge if it cannot detect the battery. The error indicator will vary by model.
Error 22 means a your Roomba is stuck. Please check the following: If your Roomba gives this error when it is stuck under an obstacle, move Your Roomba to a new location and press CLEAN to restart. Use a Virtual Wall® to block off problem areas.

Roomba Discovery My Roomba turns on and moves but the brushes won’t turn. Someone told me that I had forgotten to put in the yellow and black end bearings, but I did. Help, I miss my Roomba
I have a Roomba 530, I have had it for 2 weeks and really loved it. I have followed all the cleaning instructions etc.. Then the Roomba wanted it’s brushes cleaning “please clean Roombas brushes” So thinking that something was stuck I removed and cleaned the brushes, (yellow tabs on and in place by the way)

ANSWER : I read somewhere that you need to clear the software in case there is a glitch. To do this, take the battery out and then, simultaneously hold down the “spot” and “clean” buttons for 30 seconds. Replace battery. This has worked for my Discovery model.

Roomba keeps saying clean brushes yet are clean!
ANSWER : Make sure you take off the little cap at the end (the one that spins — just grab it and pull it straight off) and clean under it too. The rest of the brush may look perfectly clean but what happens is that hair gets stuck under spinning cap and, like a slowly growing washer, it pushes the whole brush toward the gear box. When it gets pushed over enough, the large yellow ring starts to rub against the side of the brush deck making it harder for the motor to turn the brush and you get that “remove and clean brushes” message.

My Irobot Roomba keeps saying that I need to clean Roombas brushes. I have cleaned the brushes…they are spotless. Still the Roomba will go for 2 minutes and shut itself off stating once again to clean the brushes. What up?
ANSWER : Perform the troubleshooting found at the iRobot website: http://tinyurl.com/nh5c8a (I promise that really does go to the right site.) That troubleshooting will enable you to determine exactly what’s causing this problem. (The Easy Way: Run the Roomba minus the dustbin and look in the back. Is the brush turning? If not, there’s the problem. Give support a call at 1-877-855-8593 and they’ll let you know how to replace the necessary part.)

Roomba keeps saying clean brushes yet are clean!
ANSWER : Remove the Yellow connectors on the end of the brushes and clean around the pin well. If there is too much there, the roomba thinks there is something stuck and goes into clear mode (as if there is a chord stuck).

My roomba keeps telling me “error and to clean the brushes. I have cleaned the brushes and when I turn the roomba back on it keeps clicking underneath the roomba. I’m not sure what else to do.
ANSWER : I had the identical problem. I cleaned the brush but the problem persisted. I then put in a new brush that was provided in the box and the problem vanished. I have since used the cleaning tool on the old brush and will try and reinstall it to see if my cleaning worked. In any case a new brush will do the job.

My Roomba 560 is making a clunking noise when it is on and it keeps stopping saying that I need to clean the brushes. I’ve thoroughly cleaned the brushes and I’ve cleaned lint from other small crevices but I’m still getting the error. Any suggestions?
ANSWER : I’m having the same problem with my 560 after a day of use. For me, it’s caused by the little yellow spacer that’s clipped onto each side of the bristly brush. When the brush assembly is closed, it wedges rather tightly next to that yellow spacer on the left. This causes a lot of friction and heat, and mine’s worn away quite a bit already.
My solution was to just unclip that spacer and leave it off. It’s probably not an ideal long-term solution, because dirt and hair will be more likely to get into the drivetrain. But at least it works now.
Another thing that these roombas apparently suffer from is clogged up gears. If you aren’t having the same problem as me, you could try the instructions here to clean the gears:
