iRobot Roomba 600 Series: Roomba goes in circles - one wheel loose

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 11:11:57 -0700

My Roomba 600x series goes in circles and once i disassembled it one of the wheels when i am trying to spin it have some kind of resistance but another one spins super fast free without any resistance.

I do not know is it correct or not that wheel spins without resistance like there is no motor or anything connected. Should i replace this wheel?

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.
