It is quite easy to fix the common issues that are related to the charging of Roomba vacuum. Let’s find out how to fix these common issues.
- When a new Roomba vacuum is bought and if it does not show the signs of charging initially then you need to take out the battery. And insert it again. Usually, it starts charging after this act and if it does not still work then you can get the professional assistance.
- Usually dirt and debris create a big layer inside the contacts of Roomba vacuum and this layer does not allow the charging of your cleaner. In this case, you need to clean this layer for proper working.
- When there is some unusual cleaning, you need to shut your Roomba cleaner for some time. This is important to give rest to your cleaner. A heat up cleaner may not show the sign of charging instantly. So give it a rest of at least one hour and after that time, it will start charging.
- When a cleaner has been used for number of years, its battery may deteriorate so when the battery is dead, it will definitely not charge. In this case, you need to replace an old battery with the new one. But you should try some reliable battery.
- Try your charger at some different power outlet. It may happen that your current power outlet is having some issues. So changing the power place or checking the home base line cord issue may solve the issue of charging.
- One important tip is that your Roomba cleaner often creates charging problems due to its corrupted memory of processors. In this situation, you need to clear all the bugs by rebooting your device. Press down “Clean” button for almost 10 seconds. When all the indicator lights get on then you can release it. Your device will restart and you will see that the charging problems have gone.
- In some cases, your Roomba is getting charged but there is an issue with illuminating light. And it feels that Roomba is not getting charged. So you need to get the lights checked too.
- If your battery is not getting charged, then you may need to drain it first. Sometimes draining the full battery may work for you. Use your cleaner fully and when it stops working after the battery is fully low then you can keep it on charge. In many cases, it starts charging.
So these are the common practices that can truly help you to resolve the charging issues. There is a booklet too inside the packaging that can really help you.
