@@brunodainjection.8342 thank you :-)

@@XiD0 I wash my hands afterwards cause the chemicals are too magic I have your same thoughts. So I wash my hands if I don’t wear gloves just in case. My wife thinks I’m a loser. I mean she’s probably right 🤣

Glad to hear it helped. If you haven’t ran your roomba in a long time it may only run for a minute or so after charging. If this happens out it back on charger, and when it’s done charging, run it again. Keep doing this until til the roomba runs for a decent amount of time. Ironically the battery not being used makes it die quickly, but the more you use it, the longer it runs for. My experience at least.

Happy to help 😎

Hi there, I’m riding passenger in a vehicle at the moment. But it’s actually pretty simple. There is a little button on the outside of the roller (not on the bottom by roller but the side). Move the button to the unlocked position and then it should let you pull out the roller to remove hair and other debris.

Hey Markus, glad my video was helpful for you! I use my Roomba all the time now with the same battery I once believed was dead. The more I use it and recharge my Roomba, the better it does and the longer it can go for in a vacuuming session. I hope more people can utilize this video so they aren’t disposing of batteries that are very salvageable. Saves people money and better for the environment.

Same thing here, but the green goes off after thirty seconds same with the orange indicator is it charging?

To remove the filter container you turn the container to the side and pull that metal looking piece down. Then you can pull out the filter and clean it (and wash/air dry it). It comes with a replacement filter.

It likely isn’t a short if I was guessing. It is more likely that the connection between the vacuum and the charger is poor (even if the leads are touching). For mine I set the two metal charging leads on the vaccine on top of the charging meta leads and fidget the vacuum back and forth so the metal rubs together with a little friction. Then I make sure the charger light is lit green and listen for the charging sound. Usually if it is charging the battery icon on the vacuum will become visible, though that could very by model.

​@@scharajrHello, I have the same situation and i did what you suggested but it still doesn't stay green

Does it seem like it’s a battery issue or a mechanical issue? If it’s the later, you might be able to disassemble it similarly to how I disassembled mine without a screwdriver or anything and just clearing an obstruction that might be caught up in there.

Glad to hear it! I did the steps I explained and now I use mine all the time. Same original battery from when I first bought it. The biggest thing is to keep charging contacts clean, get enough charge on the unit to do the reset, then run the unit, charge, run, charge. Once it gets back into being used it goes back to running like new.

I haven’t had that happen with mine but I think that puts it in a 16-hour refresh charge. Maybe once it does that, let it charge for a day. This is a guess, but it might work if it needs those 16 hours to charge (if that’s what it is signaling).

Did you follow my instructions to reset the charge cycle, and other instructions? Also what may help is putting the Roomba on the charging leads and holding and rubbing the vacuum so that the metal leads rub on each other. Rub them together for a few seconds and then make sure the vacuum charge ports are centered on top of the charge leads. If they are, after a few seconds there should be a little green light on the charger that comes on. For my model eventually on the Roomba itself the little red or green battery icon will slowly pulse that it is charging. Another charging trick if charging on carpet is to prop the rear end up with a pencil or maybe weight the rear down (depending on the carpet and how your vacuum is tilting from the charger leads).

was your issue fixed? i had same issue as you, and no idea what to do now with Roomba 980
