For me it was the LID....AHAHAHAHA. Im pretty tech savy and understand what parts need to function in order for units to work. I deep cleaned everything...I even unscrewed the whole unit and took the whole internal suction tube out. put a new bag in, changed the filter everything, i knew for sure it wasnt anything to do with dirt. I decided to seek youtube help and found this video, the first thing I noticed you do is lift the lid up and it stays up....I was like wait my whole lid just comes straight off, realigned it how you had it up and gave it a good push and boom it snapped into place and stands up straight like yours when the lid is lifted. Gave it a go and boooooom were back in buisness. Lol It wasnt intended but thanks for the video!

Great step by step cleaning video. I'm assuming the "deodorizing" crystals are really just scented crystals, right? To me "Deodorizing" would man removing odor, not replacing or covering it it. Not being snarky, just to my nose those fake scents are more disruptive than the odor they're covering. But you've got me wondering about creating some kind of permeable "Baking Soda straw to stick in there. Someone needs to run with that idea. I'd pay a couple bucks a piece for them.
@CoastalBluffRoomba17 күн бұрын
@@leocatz the deodorizing crystals are optional (user preference) and makes the smell less horrible. But some people are sensitive to perfume so not recommended for them. Otherwise it would require more frequent replacement of the hepa bags to keep the orders to a minimum. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Happy cleaning!

EASIEST FIX FOR EMPTY BIN PROMT NOT WORKING!!! We suffered the empty bin mode not working. It would disappear from the app dashboard when you pressed it and not reappear until later.we spoke to customer service and I did everything suggested for the j6. Rebooting, blowing out the dust behind the bumper, removing the vac tube under the tower, making sure there were no blockages, blah blah blah blah . . . Nothing worked until i did a factory reset from the app and saved the map option. The empty bin worked perfectly. It will also force update the software. They never suggested it. Dumb asses.
@CoastalBluffRoomba2 ай бұрын
Glad to see you got this figured out. Yes worse case scenario as with any electronics is to completely reset it and this may require completely removing the roomba from your account and even removing the app from your phone and then reinstall. If it doesn’t work first time, try again as sometimes first time doesn’t work. Thanks for your comment.

I recently bought a used Braava Jet m6, and the robot does not respond. When I put the robot on the home base charging dock, for a few seconds, it lights up white and spins, and then it stops. When I press the "Clean" button, the robot doesn't respond. The same for all the other buttons. The wheels are not jammed and I already tried holding Clean for 30 seconds. It came with 2 batteries but they don't seem to work. The robot gets a little warm on the place where the cleaning pads are mounted when charging. What do you think is the problem? Do you repair m6's? And if so, what would you estimate the repair cost for this to be?
@CoastalBluffRoomba2 ай бұрын
@@JTrapp2127 hello thanks for reaching out. We would first suggest seeing if the braava is set for pet or child lock. To do this, you can change the settings in the app under settings to turn this off. Otherwise, you can try tilting the braava on one side so one wheel is pushed down and the other is free, and while holding braava tilted like this press the clean button 3 times. See if this works for you.

I've got the same unit, went through the same steps but no success. The roomba did a cleaning round after I'd mopped the floors, I thought it was done but it was just recharging before continuing. When I got back the Clean Base was standing in a puddle of water and more was seeping through the side vent exhaust. I took everything apart and removed the water with a shopvac as best I could. When the Roomba completes a cleaning round, and unloads at the Cleanbase, it'll still attempt to empty the bin, three times before switching to a red signal on both units. The error in the app says there's a clog but there really isn't one. The motor sounds a bit different too, I'm worried it's FUBAR.

I even needed to know how to remove the green rubber guard from the port on the removable bin. I see now that a little bit of gentle forcing is required. Thank you too for the tip about moisture (a little too late for me though). When setting up my Roomba I did not set a no go zone area for where my cat water bowls are. After i noticed that my Roomba was not performing properly, I removed the two green rollers only to discover a whole lot of dirt caked onto the sides of the Roomba behind the rollers.
