Irobot Roomba 980: How do I replace the gasket between the bin and the robot’s vac?

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 12:44:56 -0700

Debris isn’t making it into Romba’s bin because the gasket that connects/feeds the debris from the robots vacuum to the bin is torn and falling off. Is this a replaceable part or should I try to super glue it back in place?

iRobot Roomba 4100: What is the least distructive way to open battery box?

Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:56:29 -0700

I purchased a set of replacement batteries online but the Roomba battery box seems to be glued shut. I could open it with a Dremel cutting disc but I was wondering if anyone had tips for opening these boxes without damaging them (I consider cutting through them to be damage).

The side brush on my Roomba 650 no longer spins, but drags along the floor with the Roomba. I think the motor could be broken, but am not sure how to fix it.

iRobot Roomba 530: Battery Charging Error "7" on Roomba 530

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 09:48:16 -0700

Had an old roomba 530 in storage. Ordered an off brand replacement battery to get it working again. Old battery and new battery give charging error 7 from dock and direct plugged. Even tried charging roomba on a Eufy robot charger threw same error on it after a few hours. It acts like it's charging on all chargers all different ways but then about 4 hours into it it throws the error code. I'm pretty confident it's not the charger. Roomba worked fine with the new battery 1st run. Tried to charge in several rooms so it's not an outlet or climate issue.

iRobot Roomba 620: IRobot Roomba 620 wheel replacement

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 04:18:11 -0700

I have a iRobot Roomba 620. I turned it on one day and it wheeled around in a big circle. After about 30 sec. it says, “error 10, spin wheels etc”. I did that, nothing. I order brand new wheels components, put them in, reset by holding down the “spot & dock” buttons.

I took the new wheels out again and I noticed both spun the same until I put them in. The left on is a bit stiffer. You can hear it too when the motor turns. The free-er one has a higher motor sound.

This is where I am stumped. Circuit board?

When charging my Roomba 530 it initially flashes amber but after 20 minutes or so then says ‘charging error 5’ & flashes red. The wheels run freely and there are no issues with the docking station. This occurs whether charging via the docking station or independently, how do I resolve the problem?
