thank you!

Customer Replay

your welcome

Thank you!
When your robot cleaner’s batteries are faulty/ drained, it won’t work correctly. The first step is to ensure the LED indicators light up when the clean button is pressed. If the light doesn’t turn on, you should try replacing the battery.

Turn off the Roomba by removing the power source. Wait for a few seconds, say 30, and then turn it on again. This seems to have worked for many users, so who knows, this might as well work out for you.

Customer Replay

will try it. in the event it is the battery, where is it located and how would I purchase one? be right back

Customer Replay

did as you suggested but not my luck that should work. the light on the tower is rectangular it goes up and down this comes on white for awhile

Yes, sure try to wait couple minutes

Customer Replay

no good. if it is the battery where would I purchase one

I see

  • First, make sure the Roomba is on by making sure the LED indicators are lit up. Then hold the Spot and Dock buttons together simultaneously for about 10 seconds. The lights will turn off automatically, and you can hear a beep sound indicating the reset is done.
  • To hard reset, the device put the Roomba on charge. You can do this by placing the robot on its home base or connecting the charger directly to the robot. Next, press and hold the Clean button until the blue text ‘r 5Y’ is displayed. After that, release the Clean button, and you will hear a beep sound. Thus the reset is complete.

be right back again
