Indicators
- Roomba says “Error five (5). Spin Roomba's side wheels to clean.”
- Select models will play a two-tone “Uh-Oh” sound followed by five (5) beeps.
Overview
Error five (5) indicates that one or both of the side wheels cannot turn. Check the side wheels for obstructions.
-
Push the wheels up and down several times and shake out any loose debris that may be trapped in the wheel well.
-
Briskly turn both wheels by hand, ensuring they turn freely and that each wheel exhibits the same amount of resistance.
If the wheel cannot be turned by hand or if the error persists on flat surfaces when there is no obstacle present, you may need a replacement wheel module. Please visit the iRobot Store - Parts and Accessories or use an authorized retailer to order a part. If you believe you're in warranty, please contact iRobot Customer Care.
For expedited service, please have the following ready:
