irobot roomba combo: Nieuwe tandwielen aandrijving borstel

Tue, 02 May 2023 10:32:05 -0700

Ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe tandwielen voor mijn Irobot Roomba Combo, type RVF-Y1. De borstel draait nog wel, echter met enorm veel herrie. Heel het apparaat uit elkaar geknutseld om erachter te komen dat de tanden bot zijn. Deze grijpen soms in elkaar, soms rammelen ze langs elkaar. Het zijn kunststof tandwielen, heeft iemand een leuk adres waar ik nieuwe kan bestellen? Alvast bedankt! Foto's en specifieke gegevens heb ik indien nodig

Irobot Roomba 980: Impossibilité de connecter l’appli Irobot à mon wifi

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:11:41 -0700

Bonjour,

j’ai acheté un roomba 980 la semaine dernière et je n’arrive pas paramétrer l’application Irobot.

j’utilise un iPhone X.

L’application est bien installée, je commence mes différentes étapes, choisi le robot (type aspirateur simple), autorise l’accès au Bluetooth, active la localisation , autorise l’accès au réseau local puis le renommé. Et après c’est le bug. L’appli demande de se connecter à notre wifi puis de revenir sur l’appli, ce que je fais, et lorsque je reviens j’ai un message d’erreur : « votre téléphone e n’est pas connecté à un réseau wifi. Accédez aux paramètres du téléphone et connectez vous à un réseau Wifi ».

j’ai essayé de me mettre en mode avion et de n’avoir accès que au wifi, j’ai essayé de désactiver l’accès aux données cellulaires pour forcer l’appli à trouver le wifi mais rien ne fonctionne et je tombe à chaque fois sur ce message d’erreur…

si quelqu’un a une idée je suis preneuse. J’ai tel le SAV roomba qui ne savait pas.

Je précise que je n’ai aucun pb avec mon réseau wifi.

merci par avance !! ???

iRobot Roomba 650: Resistance in right wheel/"error 5"

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 10:19:39 -0700

I've been getting the "Error 5 right" message on my Roomba 650. The right wheel seems to have twice the resistance of the left wheel. I took out the wheel module, opened it up and cleaned everything out. The problem persisted so I ordered a new wheel module. Still no luck. Then I noticed something very odd: the wheel has normal resistance when it's out of the Roomba but as soon as I lower it into place the resistance immediately doubles. Even with the battery removed this happens. I've very meticulously cleaned out the wheel well and it makes no difference. I've also cleaned the optical sensors and tried doing the Spot/Dock reset. Nothing. Any ideas??

iRobot Roomba i7: How to stop my i7 from spinning in circles in one place?

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:26:20 -0700

When I tell my i7 to vacuum, it comes off of the dock about 3 feet, and proceeds to just spin in circles. The wheels are clean, and the trash bin is empty. I'm not sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated, we've only had this robot for 2 months.

iRobot Roomba 880: Roomba not picking up

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 08:02:24 -0700

I have had my roomba for about 1 1/2 years. It is significantly quieter than it used to be, and there is no air exhausting from the back vents. It’s still picking up larger debris but does not have much suction. I have cleared out debris from the rollers, filter, bin, and wheels and it didn’t help. Local vacuum repair won’t fix roombas. Any suggestions?

iRobot Roomba 650: Roomba won't leave the dock

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 07:33:07 -0700

Hi, my Roomba 650 won't leave the dock anymore. It won't do it on schedule nor when I press the clean button. If I take it off the dock it will work perfectly and dock itself as well. I suspected a battery issue and changed the battery but this didn't help. I've also reset the Roomba a few times and moved the dock to different places.

I haven't seen anyone having this problem even after some serious searching. Any ideas?

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?

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).
