Step 1: Check Your Roomba Model
Before you begin, it’s important to check what model of Roomba you have. Different models have different ways of resetting. For example, the Roomba 900 series has a different reset process than the Roomba 600 series.
Step 2: Turn off Your Roomba
To begin the reset process, turn off your Roomba. You can do this by pressing and holding the “Clean” button until the robot turns off.
Step 3: Remove the Battery
Next, you’ll need to remove the battery from your Roomba. To do this, flip the robot over and locate the battery compartment. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws, then carefully lift out the battery.
Step 4: Press the Clean Button
With the battery removed, press and hold the “Clean” button for 10-15 seconds. This will discharge any remaining power in the robot.
Step 5: Reinsert the Battery
After discharging the power, reinsert the battery into your Roomba. Make sure it’s securely in place, then flip the robot back over.
Step 6: Charge Your Roomba
Next, plug in your Roomba to charge. Let it charge fully before using it again.
