    Thanks man. This is exactly what I needed. Some lady tried to scam me by charging me $90 for a $400 Roomba because it wasn’t charging and she didn’t know how to fix it but she advertised that it was working perfect and never told me it wasn’t working properly. So I watched the video, Cleaned the contact points and BAM! Charging perfectly. If only she would of did a small amount of research. Her “scam” ended up giving me a homerun of deal.

I took some rubbing alcohol and wiped them off. Indeed, those specs of "dirt" actually made it glitch and not charge properly. GREAT!!!

    Upon removing the battery of our new unit, I noticed that one of the battery contact springs was bent off to the side, thus no contact. I bent the spring up straight and life is good now. Seems necessary to clean charging contacts about once a year based on the older one we have. Thanks for the video. Roomba on.

    Wish I would have found this months ago lol. We’ve been using dog toys or wash cloths to heighten the back to get it to charge! Now I can use the scheduling feature again because it won’t be stuck in place by a dog toy lol! Thanks 100x!

    I had an error 3 as well. I cleaned the contacts inside and out. Still had the same issue. I accidentally dropped the Roomba from a few inches and the error 3 went away. So I thought all was good. After one cleaning and testing...the error 3 came back. I felt that the circuit board may be good, but the manner of which it charges may be the culprit. I took everything apart once again and notices some dark gray foam pads that secured the battery upright. Besides flipping the spring contacts that touches the battery to the circuit board and cleaning them the first time, this time, I removed the foam pads...added some additional padding with a foam tape, placed the dark gray foam pads on top of the foam tape and the units error 3 went away. Charging was back to normal and battery charging all okay. Thought I would mention it here since I was about to change the board but was hesitant since I didn't want to shell out the extra $ for a new board. Thx for the repair video regardless!

    @janhunt6214 3 года назад +1

    Thanks so much! That fixed the issue. I suspected that it wasn’t making contact and I cleaned them with a dry cloth. I used the magic eraser as you suggested & that was the ticket . Works perfectly.

    Another reason your roomba fails to charge is the charging cord became Lose. After cleaning the sensors as mention (i used alcohol as on viewer mentioned they do) it still would not charge then i began to trouble shoot. It was the cord.

    Thank you! This worked for me. One question, my roomba seems to last about 30 min now before it dies. Is battery replacement do-able? Or should I just buy a new model?

    • @tuffy11000
      @tuffy11000 3 года назад +1

      The battery is easy to change. Just take the one Phillips screw out for the side sweeper and then the other four Phillips head screws in the base. Lift the cover off and the battery pulls right up and out.
