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.

iRobot Roomba i8: Roomba i8 clean light circling only

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:03:24 -0700

I can't get the roomba to connect to the app, it wont do anything but the clean light is constantly circling. I've tried resetting it holding clean down 20 sec also all 3 buttons down for 20 secs. Light will go out like 5 secs and turn back on and do the same thing. I got a new battery for it. I've cleaned all the sensors that I know of, I've tested most of the parts with a variable dc supply the vacuum might need to be replaced I couldn't get it to run it would kind jerk a bit but thats all I could get it to do. The automatic charging tower light turns on when you place the i8 on it, it doesn't activate sucking the bag in there is new. I've looked all over for videos but there isn't a bunch on this model. I'm about to take it apart again and check sensors again. Is there a way to test sensors with multimeter?Do you know what's wrong with it?

iRobot Roomba S9 Plus: Roomba S9 Plus Making Error 2 With Clean Roller Brushes

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 12:19:02 -0700

Recently, I have been noticing that my Roomba S9 Plus makes an intermittent whining noise. The Roomba frequently stops and mentions Error 2 for stuck roller brushes, even though the brushes appear clean and spin freely by hand. If anyone has ideas to help fix the issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Just an update,

I found the issue. Seems like the gearbox of the cleaning head that spins the rollers is most likely starting to fail. It is not easy to find a good cleaning head for the S9 Plus. But I did find the roller brush motor assembly itself on some platforms like eBay. However, I cannot find any repair guides for installing this. So what now?

iRobot Scooba 450: Scooba 450 idling in place

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 08:04:43 -0700

My Scooba 450 just idles as in the video here. It's been doing this for 4 or 5 times already but a factory reset (pressing room + info buttons) solved the issue. Not today: what could be the problem? Everything is cleaned, the bumper moves freely. I've been using it very seldom until one year ago, then I started using it daily to clean a small room.

Thank you for your help!

iRobot Roomba 960: Error 10 left wheel after clean with water

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 10:19:00 -0700

I’ve had roomba going over my dog poo 🤦‍♂️ I’ve cleaned the roomba with water and I suspect some water went into the body and got to the main board. After cleaning it my roomba 960 now complain about error 10 left wheel. I have replaced the wheel module but the error remain, which makes me thing it is not the wheel module that has the problem.

Any idea how to diagnose this issue?

If I’ll disassemble it do you think I’ll be able to see or fix the problem?
