iRobot Roomba 630: Roomba won’t do anything.

Thu, 20 Dec 2018 06:39:42 -0700

My roomba went over a mess my dog had made. Since then it will not start or charge. I have cleaned everything I can. Is this repairable?

iRobot Roomba 880: will not take a charge

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 07:53:04 -0700

My Irobot does not seem to take a charge. I have bought a new battery . No lights are on on my roomba. Sometimes when I place it on the charger the motors turn for just a little while.

The light on the charge blinks when no robot is on it. When I place the robot on it it is a steady green.

All contacts are clean.

iRobot Roomba 650: Does my battery need replacing

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 13:27:07 -0700

About 3 ounces of water spilled over the top of my roomba. I received a suggestion to put it on the charger for an hour and the ibot people would call me back. Did not receive a call.

It did crazy things when I tried it again, like going around and around without picking up anything. I let it just sit for three days, hoping that any water would have evaporated. I took it apart and cleaned everything and put it back on the charger.

Now, every 9 seconds, it emits a few musical notes. Do I need a new battery?

iRobot Roomba 870: Why does it just keep going in a circle?

Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:34:39 -0700

My 870 is 1.5 years old. This is the first time that it has demonstrated this behavior. While it goes in a circle, there is also a blue light on the dashboard. I've never seen this light. We notice that the non-drive wheel seems to be loose.

iRobot Roomba 650: Not charging/functioning after getting base wet

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 11:57:18 -0700

Good afternoon,

Had an unfortunate run in between my iRoomba, the tile floor, and my dog who couldn't hold in her bowels. Post-event, I attempted to clean the bot manually with water and dilute cleaning solution. The unit (650) now does not seem to be able to turn on/charge. Can you please advise on how I can troubleshoot to find the problem? Thank you for your time.

iRobot Roomba 561: Error 2 clean the brushes

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 08:01:27 -0700

My roomba moves for about a minute then says I need to clean the brushes. The brushes are clean. I’ve replaced all brushes and battery several times. I recently took the whole thing apart because of this error. I cleaned the fuzz around the motor and other places. I can’t tell if the brushes are spinning while it’s moving although it does sound different than normal. I thought this was because I cleaned around the motor. I can find parts on Amazon. Should I replace the green housing that the brushes sit in or should I replace the round sensor in the housing?

The battery has gone bad and I am looking for a replacement. I found 2 options on the website: 2600mAh and 6800mAh. I am interested in the latter, however unsure as to whether it fits into my roomba. The battery compartment is 14x4.5x4.5 (HxLxW). Any suggestions? Thank you.

iRobot Roomba i8: Roomba i8 clean light circling only

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:03:24 -0700

I can't get the roomba to connect to the app, it wont do anything but the clean light is constantly circling. I've tried resetting it holding clean down 20 sec also all 3 buttons down for 20 secs. Light will go out like 5 secs and turn back on and do the same thing. I got a new battery for it. I've cleaned all the sensors that I know of, I've tested most of the parts with a variable dc supply the vacuum might need to be replaced I couldn't get it to run it would kind jerk a bit but thats all I could get it to do. The automatic charging tower light turns on when you place the i8 on it, it doesn't activate sucking the bag in there is new. I've looked all over for videos but there isn't a bunch on this model. I'm about to take it apart again and check sensors again. Is there a way to test sensors with multimeter?Do you know what's wrong with it?
