If the red
Full Bin Indicator is illuminated or is blinking, it means Roomba senses that the Bin is full. Please clean the Full Bin Sensors. If Roomba continues to indicate the Bin is full after you have emptied the Bin, it means you have not thoroughly cleaned the Full Bin Sensors.

Roomba 700 series reboot procedure:
After you have cleaned the Bin Sensors, it may be necessary to clear the error by rebooting the robot.
-
Press and hold the CLEAN button for about 10 seconds until the display reads “rSt”. Roomba will play a tone indicating that the reset is complete.
-
Remove the Bin from the Roomba and set it aside.
-
Look inside the robot where the Dust Bin was, and locate 2 black rectangular sensors on either side of the robot. Wipe the inner wall of these sensors with a clean, dry microfiber or soft cotton cloth.
