(In a hurry? Watch video at 3:00-3:40)
Just saved me 35 bucks, thank you! I had NO IDEA that those grey bits on the end were supposed to spin, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation that they should. I just kept looking at the cleanest friggin vacuum I've ever seen every six minutes when it would tell me to clean the main brushes and was seriously losing it and was ready to just buy new brushes to see if that solved the problem. They have to know about this problem but it's making less stubborn people buy unnecessary replacement parts.
Thank you for this video!!! Error 2 kept going off on my mom’s e5 every 90 seconds. Tons of hair cleaned from the rollers, but then another 90 seconds later error happened again. What I didn’t know was about those grey parts! That was the KEY in getting the rollers to spin properly and the eliminating the error. Then while I was at it, cleaned the other parts you showed. Learned a lot and saved my mom’s roomba. Thank you so much
Thank you very much for this video. It really helped to clean my roomba i3 rollers. Mine is only a couple of months old and slightly different, but this video put me on the right track and eliminated a load of frustration.
This is so helpful! Saved me from having to buy new brushes, and now I know to add cleaning this end of the brushes to my weekly maintenance of the robot. Thank you SO much! 👏🏻
Be careful when buying new brushes. There are off brands (i.e., Chinese) rollers that are too large and will give constant "clean extractors" error messages.
One month with the Roomba and one long haired Border Collie I found four times the amount of hair-washers and six times the dreadlocks. I was pretty sure the vacuum would not last a year. This video is exactly what I needed to know. It’s definitely a chore, but not as much as the daily four hour cleaning the J3+ does on it’s own. Thanks for saving my robot!
Ours was already an year old and I thought it might be the rollers although they seemed to be in good shape. I just couldn’t figure out as to what more do I clean to get them running. I finally decided to replace perfectly appearing rubber brushes till I came across this video.
Now they are working just fine for the last month.
I’ll Hold off buying new brushes.
Our two Great Pyrenees do a job on our 690 so we're going to move that upstairs and get a more pet-friendly model for the main floor. This information is great-thanks!
Our 4 dogs including Great Pyrenees thank you so much for making my $700 roomba work again.
One additional tip for everyone. I cleaned everything as suggested in the video and one of my brush rolls still would not spin (the light green one). If you take off the grey cap, there's a circle nut that can be removed (I used a needle-nosed pliers). Once removed, I found dirt in the spindle. I cleaned it with a rag and then ran a thin paper towel through the hole. I lubed it again with some Fellows Performance Oil. Once cleaned, I tested again and the brush roll FINALLY spun. iRobot now working swimmingly!
Thank you!!! My lovely Bernese clogged mine after a week. I was going nuts trying to find where the hair was. Thank you again.
Thank you! It was the other end of the brushes like you stated. Relatively new roomba so I was disappointed if I needed to buy parts already. We have two labs! Fixed it.
You saved me a lot of $$$, was thinking we had to change our reliable 860 after 5 years
... thanks!
2:31 do not use a screw driver. Squeeze the piece out like you are popping a pimple like you did in 3:10. Only the grey piece it’s meant to come out, not the entire assembly.
Yep, I learned that right after making this video.
I like the "like a pimple" - LOL
Oh my thank you. The rollers were not working. I cleaned them but didn’t know the ends came off. I had “rolls” of Aussie fur laying all over the house and couldn’t figure out why, I thought roomba was clean. Thanks!!!!
thank you thank you!!! I was getting so frustrated when it kept turning off after 30 seconds telling me to clean the brushes! I didn't know to take the grey pieces off the rollers! With a dog and 3 people with long hair.... oh my lol. THANK YOU!
Bless you! I’m sitting here with my Roomba upside down and in my lap. I’m so glad that I searched for videos and found yours. I had no idea I could remove the cap and get dog hair from down in there as well. My problem is getting the damn cap off. LOL. Do you have an Australian Shepherd like I do? They are shedding machines. And learning how to clean the front wheel was a bonus!
Oh wow thank you so much I just bought my Roomba a few weeks ago and never clean it and it stopped working properly ,now works like a clock!
So thank you thank you so much
Mine has been giving me problems saying type 2 error for a week after I just cleaned them but never took the grey bits off I had no idea thank you so much for this helpful video!!!!
Exactly what I needed. I cleaned the rollers the other day, but missed many of the hidden areas you covered. Working perfectly again. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad I came across this video..fixed my issue right away, thank you!
OMG, This is so helpful and such critical information that iRobot should be linking to in their app. You saved my vacuum!
Almost bought an S9+ before seeing this video thinking that this will not happen, i guess i will remain with the old model it still working and it’s the same issue. Thanks for the video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I didn't know you could remove the caps, or that the rollers were supposed to, well, roll even by hand. There was SO MUCH hair inside, I actually had to use cisors and then unlock the thing by hand
You are a life saver, thank you so much again
Irobot should take a lesson from Ross. His video on this topic is much more comprehensive and helpful than the company's. 😊
With 3 cats I was convinced that this was the problem...nope. However, for some unclear reason the yellow thingies would not rotate properly. Due to this video I knew that must be the problem and it was. Fixed it an now the error is gone. So thanks for explaining how the roomba works :)
Thanks a lot. Good to know info. My case was actually a penny stuck between roller and plastic frame, but i checked everything else and was not too bad but glad i found your video.
You just saved me thank you! Could get one brush to fit back in and this was why!
Awesome. Thank you Mitch. Great simple directions. My Roomba has never run so well!
I had this problem but the hair removal didnt work. What i didnt notice was that on one of the brushes the metal part of the cap was stuck to the brush. I needed to remove that and clean it.
Both bushes should spinn when you slide your hands over them.
Awesome. Worked perfect, got a ton of hair out
Video was very helpful. Thanks much Mr. Mitch Ross.
thank you sir never knew that was wondering why my e5 was stopping every 2 minutes
This what i looking for the way how to fix my irobot , thank you!!!!
Great demonstration. Thanks
Wow thank you very much that did the trick couldn’t figure it out until I saw your video working perfectly~ lots of hair wrapped under gray end where you cannot see it!!!
Thanks mate, really made my day. Roomba cleaning again
Thank you for this video
Just cleaned my roomba 👍🏻
Correct solution! Thanks.
Thanks. Finally cleaned the hair out after 2 years since I brought my i7. 🤣
was it not working that whole time? :o
Did the trick! Thank you for taking time to make this video. Much appreciated!
You are a life saver. I was so incredibly frustrated with this. Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing the video. Very helpful.
Thank you so much this thing has been driving me crazy with the content clean bushes and I could not seem to clean it right. So thank you so much.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You saved my robot a horrible fire pit death.
Thank you this is exactly what I needed to do to fix this error.
You are a true hero!!!
I have followed this video & other cleaning videos to a T & my Roomba rollers (when clipped back in) still won't spin freely without me really pressing on them. When they're not popped back in, they will spin freely. How can further clean them?
I was gifted a Roomba 533 and it works great. After I cleaned the brushes, only one of the yellow tabs snapped shut. Is that normal or do I need to do more cleaning? Thanks!
Fixed mine right up!! Thank you!!
Sir, thanks for this video!! Solved my problem!!!
Thx a lot. It’s not in the manual or anywhere!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this.. it fixed the issue I was having for two days I was about to go return it 🙏🏽
thanks so much. Followed your directions and it works like a champ now. Again, Thanks You!
Thank you! Problem solved!
Very helpful. Thank you!
thank you so much for this video, really teach us.
Thank you very much! This was really helpful
Hi, I need an advice.
I have a Bernese Mountain dog (same as yours, seems to me). I am looking to buy a roomba i3 but I am afraid it will not be effective for collecting dogs hair. My question is, how often should a roomba be cleaned of dogs hair (process you explained in this video)? And are you happy with your roomba (since you have a dog with a lot of hair...)? This would help me a lot. Thank you. :)
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you so much, I'm going to check mine. I have a similar problems with the cat hair, hope it's help it out)
Omg! Thank you so much for uploading this video!!! Life saver!!!
I was getting crazy thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for the video.
thanks! this is the first realistic view of what happens to dog hair that I have seen. Do you get any hair into the actual bin? The new self emptying tower seems useless for dog hair. Correct?
OMG! That was great. Thank you thank you thank you, I was struggling for days and you had the solution.
Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed.
It really helped. Thank you!
Wow.. this really worked… You made my day 😍
