How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
The automatic cleaning happens always due to the scheduled settings. If RoboVac starts cleaning without a schedule, please check if the schedule cleaning button has been pressed accidentally and whether there is a schedule icon on the display.
If your Roomba® i Series Robot Vacuum is not turning on or is not able to charge, rebooting your robot tends to solve most related issues. To reboot your Roomba: Press and hold the CLEAN button for 20 seconds. After you release the button, the light ring will show a white clockwise swirl while it reboots.
Re: Roomba turns on and starts cleaning by itself
It is possible a part of roomba`s memory became corrupt and indicates there is a valid schedule. Pulling the battery will erase the memory.
They may be dirty or corroded and need cleaning. You can water them while they`re still wet and then wipe them dry with a paper towel or cloth. If this doesn`t help, try replacing the battery yourself! If your Roomba is making noise while charging, it could be because of the battery.
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.
If you get a more affordable model, like Roomba 675 you can expect a lifespan of up to two years. Go to the higher-end, like the iRobot j7+, and our research and testing suggest you can get five years plus of cleaning with proper maintenance.
Keep your robot plugged in and charging on the Home Base® or Clean Base™ when not in use. If your robot will not be used for more than a few weeks, we recommend placing the robot in ship mode. and storing it in a cool, dry place.
On average, a well-maintained robotic vacuum cleaner can last up to 4-6 years, but some models may last even longer.

The robot vacuum will beep to let you know if it notices that the wheels are not moving properly. Check the wheels for any debris or tangled hair and remove it to resolve the problem.
If there is a clicking sound when you rotate the side brushes manually (with the side brushes on). It indicates that the noise is from the side brush motor. Replacing the side brush motor could fix the issue.
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.
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.
Most owners believe that running their robot vacuums four times per week is sufficient to keep the floors dust-free. However, if you have children or pets, you should use your robot vacuum more frequently. Daily vacuuming is recommended if you suffer from seasonal allergies.
Roomba® robot vacuums are highly efficient, only drawing power when they`re charging in docks and to ensure uninterrupted connectivity with home WiFi systems. In fact, even if left plugged in all day, Roomba® consumes less energy than the typical upright vacuum cleaner.
On average, a well-maintained robotic vacuum cleaner can last up to 4-6 years, but some models may last even longer.

My Singer Izek sewing machine starts and stops and wont sew continuously. When I push down the pedal it sews about 2 inches then stops and light starts flashing, I have to let off of the pedal and push it again, over and over. It did this once before for awhile and then just started sewing right for awhile and now its started it again. I’ve checked everything.
ANSWER : If it’s not the thread and not the pedal then it’s definitely a power problem. You need to replace the power cable and then check again the functionality.

Problem starting Sometimes will not start at all. Sometimes will do a quick start and stop. Other times it starts and runs fine????
ANSWER : This can happen if you have an intermittent short in your cord. Try plugging it in and then wiggling the cord around where it goes into the body of the vacuum with the switch set to “on.” (If you’re not sure whether it’s on or off, just click it back and forth occasionally.)
.If the motor kicks on there’s a short, which usually requires a cord replacement. If that’s the case, it’s a relatively simple fix for most dyson models.
.If not, you could have a short in your switch or somewhere else in the electrical system of the machine.

ANSWER : Its sounds to me like the computer board inside the machine has gone bad. Keep in mind that the filters in these machine do need to be replaced regularly to keep the vacuum working correctly. Any good vacuum shop should be able to fix your problem. Reguardless of what they might tell you there these really are one of the best machines on the market and definatly worth having repaired.

Irobot discovery Hi, My irobot discovery charges fine, shows green (fully charged), starts running and flashes amber, then finally after about ten minutes stops and shows sold red.
ANSWER : It sounds like the battery is shot. These batteries only work for a couple of years and then they won’t accept a charge any more. A common mistake people make is recharging them before they need it. This will make the battery “lazy”

IRobot 530 charges intermittently
ANSWER : Reset the Roomba: hold down “spot” and “dock/demo” for fifteen seconds, then release and listen for the tune. Then charge the Roomba overnight. The next time you run it, the unit should run longer. If not, call support and let them know you may have a battery problem. 1-877-855-8593 (I strongly encourage you to have the Roomba with you if you call.)

While using my Dyson a rug got caught and that ratcheting sound started. I removed all signs of strings, etc until the brushes rotated fine but when I started the Dyson the ratcheting started again. I have the DC 14 Animal.
ANSWER : The rattly sound means the drive belt has snapped or the protective clutch has slipped. This needs repair by someone who knows how to repair Dysons officially. Sadly its the kind of model that can’t be done by the owner.
