Whenever mine acts up I just take the brushes off and the squeegee roller and clean the tangled up hair from around the ends where the yellow things are. I also pull that front caster wheel off and clean the hair off if it. The roomba works fine for a while after that.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

Amazon has a great return policy, usually. I would return it. Or call Honeywell and get a replacement.

I have several suggestions; please check the date on the device. Note that the replacement time is about 10 years. One other problem we had was insects, specifically ants, nesting in the rafters, down in the alarm base. Vacuumed them out, everything worked fine. Reinsert battery, checking for firm settling. Best of luck.

When the red light comes on the machine shuts off, when you are not running it smooth enough across that area. And then when the red light comes on, turn it off and on again.

Will Try. Go to the I Robot website and down load the manual for the Scooba, it will have a trouble shooting section in there to find the problem. and hope that it is not "brain dead" where the computer brain is fried.

Absolutely not! If it's an electronic beep, it's a malfunction. It might be a squeak from the canister turning. Re-position it and see what happens. Keep the canister handle toward the back.

This is my favorite thing about the roomba! If your dog barks at the roomba, all you have to do is scold the roomba. Works like a charm after a couple of scoldings and good clean fun.

Sounds like the motor is defective. You should return the product to Amazon for a replacement.

Double check in the owners manual for hints. Or call the company for their take on this. If nothing else I concur with others, replace the unit.

Dude, dont ever run your roomba without doing an eyeball check of the area real quick. Thats a cleanup nightmare you dont want.

I can hear a slight sound on mine, along with the light going off. It seems to take several seconds to reactivate if there is constant movement.

Ours did that for awhile and we would power it down and up, make sure the bin was completely empty. After a couple of weeks it stopped doing it and hasn't done it since.

If you have two sticks of memory try taking one out and start it. If it beeps again try the other stick. Repeat for each stick if more

There is a red switch in the back I didn't know about it til I was cleaning it. Return if the switch doesn't work.

I am not sure. If its new, maybe you got a bad one. I only charge them until the green light comes on , on the Roomba. Do not leave on the charger too long. I have found this to mess up the charging cycles.If it don't take a charge, either you have a bad battery or it's your Roomba. I have a Roomba that runs but don't charge and another that charges but don't run. My battery has been fine. You can try one thing to reset the Roomba. With the battery out, push the power button 5 times or so. If that don't help, try pushing the clean and power buttons , at the same time, a few times. All the Roombas I have had developed different problems. Hopefully its just the battery. Hope this helps. I am not sure. If its new, maybe you got a bad one.

Dyson has replaced my battery and various electronic parts 3 times now. And right now it still doesn't work. So I don't know what is happening with yours. They thought mine was a charging problem but it really isn't. It works just fine now as long as it has a good suction on the floor. Customer service is great. The product is great when it works. But it is an inherently flawed product.
