Yujin Robot iCLEBO Arte: Arte comes out 6", spins in circles, wants base

Sat, 11 Jan 2020 08:40:16 -0700

Arte comes out from the base about 6", spins in circles, says base on the screen. No error code. It is not able to dock into the base, it just sits there until the battery dies. I have cleaned his eyes, checked his wheels, the dust bin is empty, I took out the brush and cleaned it, the side spinning brushes are clean and rotate. I am out of ideas.

iRobot Roomba 630: Wont run, stops immediately

Sun, 07 Jan 2018 11:21:54 -0700

My Roomba stops immediately and plays the 4 note tune. It doesn't say anything. It goes "da da da do", where the last note is the lowest. No voice error. Does this mean a dead battery? My battery is 3 years old. The best I can tell it flashes one quick flash, then 6 slower ones.

UPDATE: It was the battery. I replaced the battery and off it went.

Thanks,

Brian

iRobot Roomba 560: roomba 560 got wet and now it doesnt go forward

Sun, 11 Dec 2016 13:29:40 -0700

at first i noticed a broken wheel, so i replaced it.

irobot local dealer says that when it gets wet the motherboard dies and isnt worth fixing (he wants me to buy a new one)

if its a motherboard problem, cant i just change the motherboard? or might it also be a sensor problem?

how do i make sure it is a motherboard issue and not senssor?

eufy RoboVac G10HYBRID: How to fix a Eufy RoboVac G10 Hybrid that won’t charge and reports low

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 05:33:24 -0700

How can I fix a Eufy RoboVac G10 Hybrid that stopped charging suddenly?

The vacuum was working normally, but one day it stopped charging completely. When I press the reset button on the bottom, it powers on briefly and says the battery is low and needs to be charged. However, when placed on the charging dock, it does not start charging (no LED change and no charging indication).

What I have already checked:

The charging dock has power
The robot is correctly positioned on the dock
Charging contacts on the dock and the robot are clean
Tried multiple wall outlets

At this point, I would like to know how to repair it, not just identify the cause.

Questions:

What are the recommended repair steps to restore charging?
Is battery replacement usually the correct fix for this issue?
Are there known internal components (fuse, charging board, connector) that commonly fail?
What should be tested first after opening the robot?

Any step-by-step repair guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

S7 MaxV Ultra: The Vibra-mop isn't working after replacement. Did I miss a step.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 20:06:04 -0700

My S7 MaxV Ultra was giving a Error 27, Vibra-Mop Jammed. It was mopping, but I don't think it was raising the mop when it wasn't mopping. I found the replacement part on AliExpress. The part came in and seemed Identical to the old part. I found a youtube video on taking the robot apart. I replaced the part. Now when I run the robot it doesn't ever activate the mop. It washes the mop at the start of the session, but doesn't after finishing. I also don't see it lowering the mop and the floors aren't wet when it is running. I asked Roborock support but they just want me to send it in. Is there a process to get it to reset or calibrate the new module. Thanks for any responses.

Ecovacs DEEBOT DN622.11: How do I factory reset the device.

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 09:54:27 -0700

I need to factory reset the device so I can re connect it to my new WiFi. However I cannot find a reset button and holding the play/pause on the remote does nothing.

If I hold the WiFi button in the remote for 3 seconds I get a beep and the WiFi light flashes, but it won’t connect via the app.(I have been using 2.4g)

The manual mode also doesn’t work as the ssid from the device doesn’t show up.

I want to factory reset to start over.
