Thank you, thank you! This 80-year-old granny got my Roomba working again! I rely heavily on it as it's much easier for me than vacuuming, and with a long-haired pup who sheds A-LOT, there is a ton of hair to pick up. Roomba does an awesome job of this, but as you can imagine, there were copious amounts of dog hair tangled in the wheels and brushes, causing it to stop working. Following your instructions I cleaned it out, and it's now working again!
Awesome vid. For anyone else wondering the free spinning wheel in the front comes off by getting a flat blade screw driver under the whole plastic shell that spins. It pulls straight up with the wheel still in place. Then you can simply pop the wheel out by pushing it from behind with your thumb. Then you can take a pliers and pull the axle out of the wheel. You can even take it one step further and remove the grey plastic piece that holds the main swivel on the roomba. It’s just 2 more Phillips screws.
Thank you for this video! I got my Roomba from a neighbor who had basically forgotten his irobot roomba pet series in a damp garage for a few years, and also lost the charging station. After cleaning the thing, buying a new charging station, and then also a new battery, I still had that pesky frustrating "charging error 3" blinking at me. So the next and last step was to dismantle the whole stupid thing to see what was wrong with it. Which was, that on the motherboard the area around the charging nodes (?) was entirely corroded and needed a good cleaning. I think I nearly shed a tear when it finally started peacefully charging once I put it all back together. Now to strap a knife on to it! Thanks again for the video, it was nice to have instructions to follow (I think I have a slightly different model than yours, but the basics were the same) just to be sure I wouldn't end up breaking the damn thing. Cheers
Man, my little Roomba got flooded up to the gills during Hurricane Sally. I wrote it off as dead and never threw it away. After coming across your video, I think I can restore it to working order! The inside is much easier to navigate than I expected, and I'm so happy Roomba sells the modular replacement parts. THANK YOU!
This video was amazingly helpful and saved us having to send the Roomba away for repair at significant cost. In fact the best DIY video I've ever watched - very helpful commentary and super pictures.
Thank you for this video! I had the horrible experience of needing to clean dog poop out of my Roomba and didn't know where to start. (I can't blame my dog; she's 17 and rarely has accidents!). Aside from this being a disgusting job, the Roomba is working better than ever. I appreciate your detailed descriptions!
Thank you so much for this video! Was able to tear down the roomba, remove a TON of dust and dog dander stuff and discover that a few teeth in one of the plastic gears in the whisker motor had worn down to the point we needed to replace that motor. Easy peasy!
Just bought my first roomba used for £20. Seller said "it only works for 5 minutes and needs a new battery" I stripped it all down cleaned it and charged it and its still whirling around cleaning my house an hour and a half later. Best 20 quid I ever spent. Thanks for the video!
Your video gave me the confidence that I could restore my Lego chomper back to his former glory. The brush motor had burned out one day when it was running on schedule and sucked up a dog toy with nobody home to dislodge it. So thankful to have it back in proper working order.
First, I'd like to thank you for this informative video. You clearly are very experienced, and this was both educational and fun to watch. I tried your trick of vacuuming the filter in my dust bin with another vacuum, and it worked really well! Roomba says to just bang the filter against the trashcan, but it does nothing, and then they say to replace them every 2 months. I feel like they are just trying to get another quick penny off their customers because my filter looks as good as new after vacuuming it out. What I was wondering: since this trick works so well, how would I know when it is time to replace my filter? Thank you!
The video helped me a lot to figure out how to remove the covers on the top and disassemble the whole thing. I had to tear my Roomba E apart because it sucked in water. I didn't realize that and flipped it over to clean the brushes and remove the dust bux. So some of the water ran into the Roomba over the motherboard. That lead to no function because it thought the cliff sensor was on (error 6). After cleaning the motherboard with circuit board cleaner from both sides everything was ok again.
I just fixed my 675 thanks to your video. However my problem was in the gearbox for the brushes. I didn’t see a use to replace it it seemed to be the gears were probably caked up with junk and they were. I removed the gearbox cover, pulled the gears out and cleaned up everything, relubed it all with a lube that doesn’t eat plastic as many will and it’s all going again. I was going to send you pictures but there doesn’t seem to be that feature here. Thanks for the basics
Kickass video! You certainly went MUCH deeper than where I usually go during regular maintenance! Good to know how to tear these things apart, should anything goes wrong. Thanks!
Good video. I have an e6 model but the general construction is similar. We have a dog and a cat and I can't believe how much hair it sucks up and wraps around all the various parts. The dust bin gets emptied daily or at the most, every other day. About once a week I go through and pull out the rollers, the castor, vacuum off the filter. It's been a while since I removed the wheels to check them out but it's likely time.
How can I tell if my 2012 roomba is still under warranty? It's 2023 at the time of this comment. Also, this is satirical and only meant to help the channel by commenting.
15:54 Can those sensors be cleaned inside? I'm seeing dust and hair there inside some of mine and sometimes makes my roomba to turn to one side when it's trying to go straight forward...
I guess I have a really old school one lol … the one I found runs great.. replaced the battery. Rollers , filter. And spin thing.. runs like a Rolls Royce lol
Awsome tutorial - my problem is that i need to replace the drive whee rotor. I go the the wrong one - i all looking for the part number of the UNIT had to see
You don't need to change the plate. Open the appliance and clean the plate with isopropyl alcohol. This error is caused by minor corrosion and dirt that is removed by isopropyl alcohol.
Very informative and well made, but I watched the whole video to see how to get the front wheel off and cleaned... At least now I know I can by new side-wheel assemblies if needed.
Just give that black and white wheel a firm tug. After the whole little assembly comes out, turn it upside down. Then give the same black and white wheel a firm push. After that, I use a small screw driver to push the pin out of the wheel. That is where you will find the dust and lint that keeps the wheel from spinning freely
Those side brush motors go out all the time. It's the only part I have had to replace several times now. The good part is they're only $15 on Amazon. Other than that, these 600 series units are pretty stout as long as you maintain them.
Thanks I enjoyed your video even though it's not what I was looking for. Yeah I've been toying around withThese little contraptions for a few years picking them up here and there for $20 or five dollars depending. And it's fantastic how modular they are for the basic components like the wheels and stuff. I probably fixed about 15 or 20 of them and I'm not going to try to repair another one with Cliff center issues because that took me about 2 1/2 hours to replace. I've torn down every single piece of these units and there are a lot of fun if you like tinkering with mechanicals and robotics. Have you toyed around with the PS2 ports on some of the older ones, I would love to hack into them and change some of the voice commands and other things 🙂Anyway I enjoyed your tutorial and its unpracticed adventure into your Roomba it's like I was actually there helping you and discovering stuff also. Anyway thanks a lot for the video I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm subscribing to your UA-cam channel.
I just pulled out a C-shaped ring from the brush roll compartment and it wasn’t attached to anything. Watching this video to try see where it could’ve come from!
Hey VW team! Thank you for this fantastic video! Extremely detailed and easy to follow. With your help, I broke down my 690 to help troubleshoot an issue with the home button not responding when pressed. Unfortunately, there was no obvious fix. All of the buttons except home still work. Could this be a problem with the component board? Any suggestions you.might have would be greatly appreciated!
Is there a way to troubleshoot or test the brush motor, without taking it all apart first? Our unit has been cleaned well and runs OK but doesn't pick up much. Cannot see of rollers are turning when it is running.
Hi. Thanks for this awesome guide. I'd also like to know how to disassemble the dust bin and clean the motors. Anyone know how to disassemble it? Already removed the screws and motor case clip (top cover) but the motor housing won't release from the dust bin case.
I'll throw my two cents in here... be cautioned buying cheap online battery replacements in particular those that come with replacement brushes as well. I made the mistake of putting on the edge cleaner brush that came with my cheap battery and clearly it isn't designed for my particular unit which is a 650. it now rattles a whole lot making the Roomba much noisier doing it's thing. But otherwise it seems to clean just fine.
Hi - Great breakdown of the 600 series; Thank you! I have a broken spring-clip on one side of my Trash Bin sensor... Any ideas about replacing/fixing it?
Help. I just had my dust bin connectors rust and fall off. The rest of the roomba 675 is good, so I need to replace the dust bin connectors. This video will help me get to the connectors, but where can I buy the double connectors? iRobor says they don't sell them.
I broke the circular plastic/metal magnet on a drive wheel motor shaft. Gluing it back together with JB Weld. Hope it works. What is it for anyway? Can I still use the Roomba if the repair isn't successful?
Hey mate! ggreat video - fellow tinkerer here. I'm genuinely dying to know whether the 675 or 679 or really any of those later 600 models have a place to plug in a DC or some other barrel charger directly into it? Have you seen that? I myself have before I could have sworn then only a few months ago found the official customer service forum by an employee post an image of a 600 model that resembled mine perfectly having a plug that could go directly into the wall outlet. I have a very hard believing the customer support made a mistake while double confirming it was a 600 late model and did have the port thus bypassing the home charging station via the 2 nodes. I don't see anywhere in this video on the board where the plug could be as a female or port connection but for the slightly older ones maybe? Have you evr come across this? I have been emailing support for weeks now and they are going out of their way to NOT say definitively for some reason. I think I get why but I'm asking them a direct question and they won't say no. which makes me think there might actually be a port on these older 600's from more than 5 years ago.
This video is great but I have one thing to say, DONT GRAB YOUR MOTHERBOARD LIKE THAT, please, you can really damage it if you apply pressure to certain components. Grab your motherboard from the sides like a cd disk, try not to apply much pressure, and wiggle the plugs out, the motherboard is very delicate and please treat it as such.
My Roomba took on too heavy of a job and now it chirps while charging. I watched your video and took it apart down to removing wheels and brush housing. I didn’t want to go any further since it is still under warranty. Is the chirping a wheel issue? Love your video!
What a great video! Thanks. I had two little metal tubes with slits fall out when I went to remove/clean the rollers. They are matching and about 2 inches long. Any idea what they are or how to put them back? Again, fantastic content!
hello. After leaving the docking station, the robot turns off due to not detecting the dirt container, even though it is clean. I measured the motor in the container for continuity with a meter and sometimes it is ok and sometimes it does not show continuity. Can the motor be separated from the turbine? Robot 670. Thank you
I am watching your video clean,repair etc. My irobot model 692 said error 2.I replaced with new brushes,open gear box it was clean but put a little just a little, grease closed up irobot.guess what error 2.did the same thing three times .error 2, Am I missing something?
My kitchen flooded and my roomba got just a bit wet for a very short time but it wont charge now. I’ve given it days to dry out. Should i open it up? Thank you
At 20:39, What is that sensor beside your hand that you didn't remove, the one with the two metal arms clipped in to it (actually below it). I watched this whole video to find out what it was, and you skipped it. I'm working on my Mother's 880 that, both bumpers work BUT, if it hits a wall head on, it doesn't detect it, doesn't turn left or right but stays there spinning the wheels and wears the drive wheel treads down. I've had to replace the drive wheels twice. I'm trying to figure out just why this is happening.) The 500, 600, 700, and 800 series has this item. I have a .pdf of the 500 series manual, but this sensor/bumper/tensioner? isn't mentioned, or I don't know what it is called to know if it is or not. You can see it at 19:09 in the video, also. Directly above the caster wheel. I know that it may possibly be the caster wheel IR sensor causing the problem. )I haven't tested with a known good sensor yet). I'd just like to know what this particular sensor is. (There are wires going to the top module.)
Love the tutorial but I'm still not sure how to fix my Roomba. I have cleaned the bin and replaced the brushes and filter but my Roomba still isn't picking up dirt. Seems like there's no suction happening...any ideas what else could be causing this?
My 690 stopped sucking. I replaced all the parts and generally keep it clean. Do you have any idea why it's not picking up? The wheels are spinning and it runs, but doesn't pick up. The bin is empty.
I replaced the old Ni-HM battery with a Li-Ion battery with BMS, and now the iRobot 780 vacuum cleaner doesn't recognize it when charging. Error 1, what to do with it?
Hey! Love this video, but I have question. I've got so much Dust intge drop sensor. Is it posible to clean it somehow without taking it from the mother board? Im really scared to be manipulating with the motherboard
Hi my roomba, model 555 keeps saying error 2 open brush cage an clean brushes, I have done this and all is clean,, I have also cleaned the front roller, any ideas as to how to correct this error, as the roomba operates for a few minutes then stops, thanks,
Should read the reviews. If you're thinking you're going to get cheap replacement parts and skip irobot, you're wrong. They are knock offs that are cheaply built.
roomba 614 here. at 7:58, 8:00, 8:13 you have the cleaning head upside down and there is a red circle sticker on one end. Under the sticker there is plastic "needle" with an metal ball-anchor. The ball fits a socket in the black base, the needles goes to the motor. On the far end of the motor there is a pulley with a channel. The motor freely turns left-right about 90 or 180 degree. The plastic "needle" lays in the channel of the pulley and enters a hole at the end of this channel. Any idea, what this needle, pulley are doing? I am not sure how to put this "needle" back into place, and or maybe mine is too short. This part is not sold separately, and I hate to pay 100 for a box that only needs this "needle". I may use fishing line or weed eater string. any help will be appreciated.
Thank you, thank you! This 80-year-old granny got my Roomba working again! I rely heavily on it as it's much easier for me than vacuuming, and with a long-haired pup who sheds A-LOT, there is a ton of hair to pick up.

This video is a life saver! It helped me replace the motherboard on my Roomba e6. Slightly different parts, but similar assembly. Thanks for this!
I love that🌼 it's programmable so it works even when I’m not home. Very easy to program in the app and easy to empty dust cup.
I am a person who loves taking apart my stuff to clean it. You did a great job thank you! Been wanting to know if I could take that plate off.
Most things cannot be taken apart.
The video helped me a lot to figure out how to remove the covers on the top and disassemble the whole thing. I had to tear my Roomba E apart because it sucked in water. I didn't realize that and flipped it over to clean the brushes and remove the dust bux. So some of the water ran into the Roomba over the motherboard. That lead to no function because it thought the cliff sensor was on (error 6). After cleaning the motherboard with circuit board cleaner from both sides everything was ok again.
Thanks a lot. It helped me to disassemble my Roomba 896 and change the bumper sensor. Almost the same inside as in this series.
I just fixed my 675 thanks to your video. However my problem was in the gearbox for the brushes.

You give me ideas about my 985 model. Thanks a ton.
Thank you! I was able to install my own ir top sensor because of this.
Great!
Excellent video, gives me the confidence to start repairing mine. Well done
You can do it!
Would be cool if Vacuum Wars actually read and responded to some of the comments. Lots of good questions unanswered.
Thanks to your tutorial and fixed my Roomba
Awesome!

I guess I have a really old school one lol … the one I found runs great.. replaced the battery. Rollers , filter. And spin thing.. runs like a Rolls Royce lol
Awesome!
Thanks for this video and links. Have ordered parts you mentioned.
Excellent you were great guidance , I was able to replace the measuring sensor , with ur help , great video , merry 🎄 xmas
Glad it helped! Merry Christmas to you too!
1:47 why is that so satisfying
lol
Awsome tutorial - my problem is that i need to replace the drive whee rotor. I go the the wrong one - i all looking for the part number of the UNIT had to see
MAN you safe my life, thank you!!!
What is that little vacuum you use on the filter?
You don't need to change the plate. Open the appliance and clean the plate with isopropyl alcohol. This error is caused by minor corrosion and dirt that is removed by isopropyl alcohol.

very well made video! extremely helpful🌟
Hay man, i liked the stick vacume that you used to clean the filter...where do we get that? Which product is that? Cheers
Up! Yeah I'm kind of interested as well.
And I
I think it is shark precision duster
I have one made for vacuuming out my sewing machine and computer keyboards.

Thanks for the help 😊
No problem 😊
What kind of vacuum do you use to clean your vacuum?
Is there any tutorial for aerovac bin disassembly for this model pls.?
Help. I just had my dust bin connectors rust and fall off. The rest of the roomba 675 is good, so I need to replace the dust bin connectors. This video will help me get to the connectors, but where can I buy the double connectors? iRobor says they don't sell them.
captive screws
I broke the circular plastic/metal magnet on a drive wheel motor shaft. Gluing it back together with JB Weld. Hope it works. What is it for anyway? Can I still use the Roomba if the repair isn't successful?
Great quality

You didn’t do the one thing I needed. The roller next to the battery. You said you weren’t going to do it then - assumed you word go back. Darn!
Amazing 😄
Thank you!
Roomba 614 is not charging. Cleaned the contact, same. Green light lit for a min then goes off. Believe the battery is gone. Battery shows 0 V..

Can the container that holds the filter be washed? I have searched all over and can't find an answer. Thank you in advance for your reply
You have a video on how to put it back together?

I've had to replace the drive wheels twice. I'm trying to figure out just why this is happening.) The 500, 600, 700, and 800 series has this item. I have a .pdf of the 500 series manual, but this sensor/bumper/tensioner? isn't mentioned, or I don't know what it is called to know if it is or not. You can see it at 19:09 in the video, also. Directly above the caster wheel. I know that it may possibly be the caster wheel IR sensor causing the problem. )I haven't tested with a known good sensor yet). I'd just like to know what this particular sensor is. (There are wires going to the top module.)
Never mind. It is a bumper.
Love the tutorial but I'm still not sure how to fix my Roomba. I have cleaned the bin and replaced the brushes and filter but my Roomba still isn't picking up dirt. Seems like there's no suction happening...any ideas what else could be causing this?
¡Excelente tutorial! 👍👍👍
Thank you for the amazing, helpful video!! What is the vacuum that you used to clean the filter?
Woah! What vacuum did you use to clean the filter?
Maybe I just missed it somehow, but where in the video is the fan and fan motor part of the vacuum (that generates all the suction)?
In 6 series roombas, it's in the dust bin, under the filter.
Isn’t that kind of cannibalistic to clean your vacuum cleaner with a vacuum cleaner? I don’t know it just seems wrong or counterintuitive somehow
My 690 stopped sucking. I replaced all the parts and generally keep it clean. Do you have any idea why it's not picking up? The wheels are spinning and it runs, but doesn't pick up. The bin is empty.
I replaced the old Ni-HM battery with a Li-Ion battery with BMS, and now the iRobot 780 vacuum cleaner doesn't recognize it when charging. Error 1, what to do with it?
I'd love to see a similar video for the e series.
After the robotic series, can you do canister vacuum reviews please?
You can also clean that filter with just water. Those screws are called captive screws.😊
Excellent video. What tool kit and vaccum did you use? I would like to order similiar items. Thanks
Hey! Love this video, but I have question. I've got so much Dust intge drop sensor. Is it posible to clean it somehow without taking it from the mother board? Im really scared to be manipulating with the motherboard
I dropped my roomba. It starts and will move in circles but will not move forward. Does the video address this problem?
How do you take apart the suction fan?? It’s the only part you didn’t take apart.
I love robot vacuums but my dog when she was little she turned the robot on and she hates it now
Hi my roomba, model 555
keeps saying error 2 open brush cage an clean brushes, I have done this and all is clean,, I have also cleaned the front roller, any ideas as to how to correct this error, as the roomba operates for a few minutes then stops, thanks,
Should read the reviews. If you're thinking you're going to get cheap replacement parts and skip irobot, you're wrong. They are knock offs that are cheaply built.
Outstanding!
You didn’t show how to repair or replace the charging port outlet on the side of your roomba
Can you also do an i7+? We just got ours based on your reviews and we love it
An e6
roomba 614 here. at 7:58, 8:00, 8:13 you have the cleaning head upside down and there is a red circle sticker on one end. Under the sticker there is plastic "needle" with an metal ball-anchor. The ball fits a socket in the black base, the needles goes to the motor. On the far end of the motor there is a pulley with a channel. The motor freely turns left-right about 90 or 180 degree. The plastic "needle" lays in the channel of the pulley and enters a hole at the end of this channel. Any idea, what this needle, pulley are doing? I am not sure how to put this "needle" back into place, and or maybe mine is too short. This part is not sold separately, and I hate to pay 100 for a box that only needs this "needle". I may use fishing line or weed eater string. any help will be appreciated.
Nice video. Good job!
Irobot root rt0+root brick top+Lego set=Lego roomba
Great video!
This was a great video and a big help and I don't even own a Roomba.
Thank you!!!
