Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

What can be wrong?

Check if the main brushes are spinning. What model?

Robo Cop! thanks for the answer. model 620. How to check if the brushes are spinning? Turns on only on the floor.

Check if the main brushes are spinning.

do not spin !!! ((put it on the glass and ... really, they don't spin! What to do?

I somehow succeeded that the brushes were not spinning either. I began to suspect this when I saw wavy debris on the fluffy brush, which was adhered to the tips of the villi, which are closer to the floor. I lift the vacuum cleaner. and at the bottom of the brush there is a strip of debris. You can mark several villi, for example, with nail polish, run and see if their position has changed. True, I tried that, but I didn't really define anything. The brush, apparently, sometimes turned. When the brush spins normally, the villi are combed out by the teeth on the container and the brush remains more or less clean. I put the brushes in the grooves anyway, took off all the caps from them, cleaned them thoroughly. And then it worked fine. It can be seen when assembling some kind of cap was worn incorrectly.

Thank you for your response, we will try!)

SvetlanaYak, usually you turn on the robot and quickly put your hand in behind, the robot does not rise much and you can feel how the brushes rotate, but in principle it is worth passing the test and see how the brushes of the inverted robot do not rotate, point 16.

Manual testing of the iRobot Roomba robot vacuum cleaner

In order to enter the iRobot Roomba robot vacuum cleaner into the service test mode, you need the following:

Turn off the robot vacuum cleaner by holding the "Clean" button
While holding down the "Clean" and "Dock" buttons, press the "Spot" button 6 times.

Now iRobot Roomba has entered the service test mode and is at zero test - checking the light indication. Use the "Dock" and "Spot" buttons ("Dock" - next, "Spot" - previous) to select the required test.

You can view the descriptions of the tests and find out the required number using this table:
Test No. Testing Actions of the inspector Actions of the robot “Spot” indicator is on “Dock” indicator is on “!” Indicator is on
0 indicator lights
check if the indicators are working properly. Click "Dock" to go to the next test.
1 buttons (skipped if there are no buttons) press in turn "Day", "Hour", "Minute", "Schedule", "Clock
buttons "Day", "Minute", "Clock" pressed buttons "Hour", "Schedule"
2 bumper press and release left side and then right side of bumper left side of bumper pressed right side of bumper pressed
3 lateral height sensors lift the robot vacuum cleaner on the left side, then on the right side (simulation of breaks) break is detected on the left break is detected on the right
4 front height sensors lift the robot cleaner on the left side, then on the right side (simulate breaks) break detected in front left break detected in front right
5 side touch sensors cover the left-side sensor with your hand, then the right-side sensor (simulation of obstacles) left-side obstacle detected right-side obstacle detected
6 front touch sensors cover the left-front sensor with your hand, then the right-front sensor (obstacle simulation) left-front obstacle detected right-front obstacle detected
7 center touch sensors cover the left-center sensor with your hand, then the right-center sensor (simulation of obstacles) left-center obstacle detected right-center obstacle detected
8 slack in the wheels lift the robot vacuum cleaner until the wheel is completely lowered on the left side, then slack in the left wheel is detected on the right side slack in the right wheel is detected
9 infrared receiver, bring a working virtual wall (or base) close to the infrared receiver. Then carry to a distance or turn off.
infrared signal is recognized

10*
For front infrared receivers, bring a working virtual wall (or base) to the left-front IR receiver, then to the right-front one. left-front IR receiver recognizes infrared signal right-front IR receiver recognizes infrared signal
11 battery sensor no action battery voltage within 12-18V
12 left wheel make sure the wheels are in the air and not blocked by anything. Wait for the "Dock" indicator to light up and briefly stop the left wheel until the "Spot" indicator lights up. the left wheel rotates as in the forward direction the left wheel is blocked voltage and the left motor speed detector is normal
13 right wheel make sure the wheels are in the air and are not blocked by anything. Wait for the Dock indicator to light up and briefly stop the right wheel until the Spot indicator comes on. the right wheel rotates as in the forward direction the right wheel is blocked voltage and the speed detector of the right motor is normal
14 wheel speed detector make sure the wheels are in the air and are not blocked by anything. the wheels rotate as if directed backwards
left qualifier signal right qualifier signal
motor and speed detector are working normally
15 jam turn front wheel jam signal (front wheel rotation switch)
16 main brush make sure the brush is not blocked. Wait until the Dock light is on and the brush rotates, then briefly stop the main brush until the Dock and Spot lights are on. the main brush rotates in one direction, then the other main brush is blocked main brush is normal
17 heavy dirt place the robot vacuum cleaner with the left side to a heavily soiled area, then the right side of the main brush and the wheels rotate heavily soiled detected severe soiling detected
18 pump inactive the pump is switched on the pump is operating normally
19 side brush make sure the side brush is not blocked. Wait for the Dock indicator to light and the brush to rotate counterclockwise, then briefly stop the side brush until the Dock and Spot lights are on. the side brush rotates clockwise, then counterclockwise the side brush is blocked the side brush is normal
Sometimes it is enough to remove the bottom cover, thoroughly vacuum everything, remove the brush module by unscrewing 4 screws, it is also good to vacuum it and put it back, it is also worth removing the bumper by unscrewing many screws from the bottom and vacuuming the bumper itself from the inside and what is under it, the robot will immediately become more gallant with obstacles.
After assembly, check with a test or launch, if the brushes do not rotate, it is worth putting a guaranteed working brush module and finding out what is defective, a robot or a brush module, but more often the brush module is faulty, which just needs to be replaced with a new one, it is not very expensive until within 1600r.

[Medtech]

Medtech, thanks for such a detailed answer.To be honest, I thought the side brush was to blame, the hairs were worn out. and here such things ...

If I remember well, then on the 620th you can remove the dust collector and start it to clean. Looking into the resulting void, you can determine with 100% certainty whether they are spinning or not. But you have already established that the main brushes do not work. There can be many reasons for this: from the banal lack of contact to jammed brush tips, the price of which, by the way, is a penny.

Sometimes it is enough to remove the bottom cover, vacuum everything thoroughly, remove the brush module by unscrewing 4 screws, vacuum it well and put it back

I have Rumba 531 (the kids named her Betty) and the brushes suddenly stopped turning. I was upset, I thought something serious. But the brave husband said that since something had started, it wouldn't hurt to disassemble. It turned out that the gears that rotate the brushes have just become very dirty in 5 years, uh-uh, and one flew out of its place. We washed, cleaned, and again our Betty runs and makes clean

[Tasik]

Tasik, You should upgrade your robot, buy a universal brush module from model 7 and a dust collector Aerovac1 from model 6, and the brushes will become very easy to clean and debris can be thrown away in one motion, if you feel sorry for money, then at least buy only Aerovac with a blue filter, you will feel right away.

Why should I upgrade? And it cleans so well, six months ago we bought all the new brushes, including the side one, the garbage container is normal, there are additional filters. Garbage is thrown away normally. Firstly, I think that in 5 years it can be disassembled once, and secondly, I'm not sure that lotions from the 6th and 7th will fit the 5th series. Let it work, especially since the battery is still very much alive and well. Priret - I will buy, and so, in reserve, to roll around - no.

buy a universal brush module from model 7 and a dust collector Aerovak1 from model 6,

but will it fit 521 Rumba?

[Medtech]

Medtech, after what time do you need to change the brushes? Will rotary brushes fit from model 8 to 630?

I also had the same, the brushes did not spin after half a year from the purchase of the 630 model, I was upset, although it was under warranty, but the problem is far from service centers. Saved this forum, read and read, and found a link to the site, it seems like Robo-cop gave me where it was necessary to get with a screwdriver to the gears that turn the brush block, I also cleaned them, smeared them with my own grease and lo and behold, everything has been working for two years. It was a couple of times more, but only when Rumba gets stuck somewhere under the chair and it seemed to be clamped there, apparently the brushes would move a little from the effort, but I can tell by the sound, if the brushes are not spinning, he is completely different or his hand quickly slipped in working order under the brushes directly on the floor, slightly lifting. The link was cool, everything is detailed with a photo, any girl can handle it, not to mention a man. True, I did not save it, maybe the Robo-cop will throw it off or search around the summer of 2013 in this thread. Something like that...

5xx, 6xx, 7xx, series of robots - the brush modules are interchangeable (the module is the whole box with a motor and two brushes), the brushes installed in the modules are the same only in the 6xx and 7xx series, when replacing only the brushes, carefully look at what was standing, you can buy not suitable.
Waste bins are only interchangeable between the 5xx and 6xx series.
the same wheels, side brush modules, front wheels.
The 8xx series stands apart, it has everything except the wheels.

Sergei, thanks for the information. And how about batteries ???

Batteries are interchangeable for all Rumba except the 400 series. As well as power supplies, bases, virtual walls, beacons. The new xLife battery can be installed in any 500 model without problems and consequences.

By the way, the brushes themselves from the 600/700 series are suitable for models of the 500th. But not vice versa. The side brush is generally universal: either 800 or 500. Only the screw on the new models was changed so that it could be unscrewed with a coin.

Batteries are interchangeable for all Rumba except the 400 series. As well as power supplies, bases, virtual walls, beacons. The new xLife battery can be installed in any 500 model without problems and consequences.

Where else can I get them ...

[Song*]

Song*, It is better to buy a lithium-ion battery right now, at a cost it will be cheaper than taking a blue Hlife from the officials, now they reach Russia in 20 days, REKLAMA: Casino187 🔗 There are at least 2 manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries on ebe now 🔗 and 🔗 the capacity is larger, the batteries have decent technological elements, the built-in controller completely pretends to be a native battery, and the price is lower than that of the officials.

[Medtech]

Medtech, thanks for such detailed, detailed answers.

[Medtech]

Medtech, is this battery also suitable for my 521 Rumba? And then it goes min. 10 and that's it, just sit down. Almost 3 years plowed on my own battery. And can you pay with a Kukuruza card there? I don't know how to buy there. If I place an order using your link, then there are no additional ones. will there be no fees upon receipt? Is the delivery included in this amount?
And I also need helicopter side brushes, I want a new trash can, the old one has all the rubber bands out. Every time you have to push them, and they come out again. Well, a new filter will probably not hurt. Here's how to figure out now how to order it all.

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1The trash can and the brush module should be bought from the officials, they are the cheapest there, in Moscow they are here:

Cleaning module with brushes for 500, 600, 700 series
Article: 21917 Price: 1600 rub.
AeroVac Dust Box for Roomba 500 & 600 Series
Article: 21632 Price: 950 rub.
this is a regular online store, read only the terms of delivery. All components can be sold from the nearest seller and Robots,
The lithium-ion battery is suitable for all Roomba and Scooba 450 models, purchase abroad, if you have no experience, ask someone from your knowledgeable friends, neighbors, relatives for help.

[Medtech]

Medtech, Robo-CopThank you very much for the consultation. Our Rabotnichka had a faulty main brush module. Changed and earned! What a grace !!!

Please advise a vacuum cleaner for odnushki 41 sq. m. I just can't decide. Linoleum and palace.

[plod7]

plod7, it is worth voicing what you choose, priorities, why do you need a robot, the composition of coatings, who will serve the robot, how do you imagine the work of the robot, the presence of animals and which ones, the presence of long-haired ones with hair length more than 25 cm.

So far there is nothing to choose from, not very expensive, synthetic carpet, linoleum under the laminate, no animals, hair of medium length to the shoulders. A robot for a woman, needed as an assistant. I don't count on wet cleaning, at least I did dry cleaning decently. So that there were fewer problems with him.

[plod7]

plod7, what you want is not clear, inexpensive is a relative concept, you need a specific maximum amount.

Within 15 t. R. For example, these are: iRobot Roomba 560, NEOROBOT - R5, Panda A320.

then you can only look among used or Chinese, if you had smooth floors, then any Chinese will help you, but now even the Panda 500 is already above your budget, so it's hard for me to help you, the Chinese don't name their robots , whoever sells them under different names, look at the Lilin group there are many robots, for a carpet you need at least a turbo brush, since a robot with only side brushes on the rugs is ineffective. There are only new Roomba 631 in stores now, but its price is from 20t. r., if you are interested in used, I advise you to look at Avito.

Thank you.
Tell me, what about this NEOROBOT - R5?

[plod7]

plod7, in my opinion it is no different from Clover and Wedge and similar models, you go here 🔗 look at your choice from below, there is a turbo brush, so it will suit you, but what is it called the seller's business, if you buy a batch of 5000 pieces, they can stick any name, even a "royal robot". You have a small area, clean the brushes, cut off the curled hair from thin axes with nail scissors, there will be few of them there, but it's cheap, for a woman even a rocker is already an assistant.
The neorobot is almost no longer on sale, you see what is in your area, it is important that there is a guarantee.

[Medtech]

Medtech
Sorry, I'm not good at these vacuum cleaners, and my husband is generally against buying it, but for me this is not a toy, but a necessity. I found a Panda X500 Pet Series Red on TECHNOSIL, just don't understand if there is a turbo brush there? And at this address 🔗 delivery is very long and there are so many of them that I cannot figure it out. Can you tell me more specifically which one to buy, at your discretion. Thank you in advance.

[plod7]

plod7, so that for a long, happy and almost forever Roomba 631 new is now in stores, or bu, you can 5xx series, but you can buy a new universal brush module and a trash can AeroVac with a blue filter for it, any Chinese with a turbo brush, but the result is unknown to me. There are plenty of shops, choose for yourself.

Good day! I am choosing a robot vacuum cleaner and something is completely confused, I ask the experts for help. I need a vacuum cleaner. Apartment 60 m2, floor - laminate + tiles, in the presence of pets in the range and allergic owners (also in the range). Due to the unsuccessful layout (lack of a hallway), street dirt and sand are carried throughout the apartment, in addition, a lot of dust is formed. In addition, as in any small apartment in which a lot of people live, there is quite a lot of furniture.
How realistic is it for a robot to cope with such a task and, if it is possible in principle, which model to choose the optimal required functionality?
Thanks for the help.

My Rumbik puzzled me yesterday - during work the green indicator was on and suddenly Rumba stopped, the indicator turned red and the robot asked to charge it ... Usually, the indicator color changed gradually ...

[Song*]

Song*, I have the same thing: girl_in_dreams: And it only works for 40 minutes. Probably everything ... worked for three years

Probably everything ...

You think? Mine, too, will soon be three ... it's a pity ...

it is not a vacuum cleaner. the battery is old. there is no capacity at all.
buy a new battery!
read above, they advised where and what to buy.

[Sens]

Sens, thanks, read. But who will replace this battery

Yes, I only read the prices for them now ... But, apparently, I still have to solve this problem. There is no way without Rumbik.

[Natalishka]

Natalishka, everything just changes there. even a librarian can unscrew three screws)))
Song*, at ebee prices? I bought on kompuniveres, if that.

[Song*]

Song*, buy a lithium ion - they last longer

lithium ion

And what is mine?

And you have a metal hybrid. Although now I looked at the ebee, lithium is naaaaaam much more expensive. So I wonder if the game is worth the candle.

[glis]

glis
You can answer 10 questions to make it easier to understand your problem, some of the answers have already been written, answer them again, when all the answers are in one place it is easier to think.

1. The area of ​​the apartment?
2. Number of rooms?
3. Size of the largest room or combined space?
4. The composition of the coatings?
5. The presence of animals and which ones?
6. The presence of long-haired with a hair length of more than 25cm?
7. Who will service the robot (clean, empty the bin, watch)?
8. How do you imagine the work of a robot?
9. Are you ready to adjust the apartment for robotic cleaning?
10. Budget?

Unfortunately, not all ebee sellers are responsible for the good quality of the batteries, sometimes they serve much less, because they are assembled from cheap elements, then I opened one battery from the purchased robot, and it turned out to be not a metal hybrid, but nickel-cadmium and the capacity is less and life shorter. Casino187 has a good quality battery, many people buy from it, then they don't seem to complain, but its prices are not very low.

Please tell me on 🔗 sell iRobot Roomba 631 for 16700r, how it differs from 🔗Roomba 631 for 20700 rubles?

[plod7]

plod7 and you go there, well, order from them, listen to what all the robots are bad and only one model is the best, for one you will find out which one is the best for them now, you will tell us later. You take a closer look at their list, there are almost all the robots that were produced and Trillobit and Kobold for almost nothing.
When I search for something in the search, I usually immediately go to 2-3 pages, because the first ones are paid, but they pay for advertising, and in the end the consumer pays for advertising, I hope you understand .. this is cheese that .....
My ad is also on the first page, and since there is always a robot in requests, then the auto worker you found too, where can you go, this is a business ...

Sergey, thank you. Saving money.
