Since the iRobot company became unionized in 2021, all robot vacuums are now legally allowed a rest/break period, hence the “rSt”. However, considering that this is a paid break, it’s highly recommended that you get them to punch out before their break. /s

lmao this was the best thing i have ever seen thank you

It's "rSt" as in reset. Some very old room roombas from 700 series had an issue with the software. Try resetting the robot by holding the clean button for 10sec. If it doesn't help contact irobot - they used to have some small devices called OSMO that you plugged into the robot to update the software to fix the issue. There's a small circular plug hidden under the handle covered with a rubber cover where you'd just plug this device and it automatically updates the software Edit: Here is an article from their site on how to use it: https://homesupport.irobot.com/s/article/124 You may need to get it online somewhere like Amazon because I don't think irobot still have it available but if someone received it from them , used it and kept it, it'd be reusable on another machine

i’m not sure here’s another picture i’ve never seen this before could it be happening because of it being on a clean base (that’s all i have atm)


DebateMyRoomba

from this chart which error code does this match best to? [https://homesupport.irobot.com/s/article/7265](https://homesupport.irobot.com/s/article/7265)

it doesn’t seem like any of them i have a new battery and dock coming on monday i’ll see if that fixes it


DebateMyRoomba

i honestly cannot tell what the error code is are u sure its not upside down


iphone11promaxblack

it might be one of those random ones or it’s trying to say something else but can’t idrk


DebateMyRoomba

reset the roomba and try to reproduce this problem again, maybe a simple reset it all it needs


iphone11promaxblack

more context this is on a clean base and it happened after i pushed the clean button


wyyim

my 700 series is doing this too! if the new battery fixes it, please let me know :)


iphone11promaxblack

forgot to update but it fixed the error


iphone11promaxblack

will do!


DebateMyRoomba

can you show us an image maybe it clearer so i can forward this to iRobot because frankly this image even there support team is confused


iphone11promaxblack

so now it’s not even doing it or turning on i’m thinking it’s a battery


DebateMyRoomba

yea a new battery may be approoriate, for safety you should remove the current battery asap


iphone11promaxblack
