Roomba vacuum cleaner 2 BEEPS after the “uh-oh” sound

Cause:

The only reason behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner facing this error is that one or all of its side brushes are not turning. This usually happens due to dirt build-up or if something is stuck in them.

Solution:

There are two ways to resolve this error. Start by applying the first solution and if it doesn’t help, then move on to implementing the second way.

Turn the Roomba vacuum cleaner upside down and thoroughly analyze whether something is stuck in the brushes. If there is any obstruction, remove it.

Roomba vacuum cleaner 4 BEEPS after “uh-oh” sound

Cause:

As soon as you hear 4 beeps after the “uh-oh” sound, you should know that one or some of the wheels of the Roomba vacuum cleaner is unable to move at all. This happens if something is stuck or wrapped around the wheel.

Solution:

There are two ways to tackle this kind of error.

Change the location of the Roomba vacuum cleaner and place it on a level and clear surface without any obstructions.
Remove dirt and debris from vacuum cleaner wheels. Look if something is wrapped around or stuck in the wheels. Push them in and out several times and rotate them in both directions. Do this until the wheels start moving smoothly.

Roomba vacuum cleaner 5 BEEPS after “uh-oh” sound

Cause:

This error is reported by the Roomba vacuum cleaner when the cliff sensors are not working. This happens when a lot of dirt build-up on sensors and they are unable to detect efficiently.

Solution:

The go-to solution to resolve this error is cleaning.

Take a look at the front bumper and remove dust from the cliff sensors. You can use a clean cloth for cleaning or just blow compressed air on the cliff sensors or may use a vacuum as well.

Roomba vacuum cleaner 6 BEEPS after the “uh-oh” sound

Cause:

The 6 beeps error can be caused due to two major reasons.

The wheel of the Roomba vacuum cleaner is facing some obstruction.
The vacuum cleaner is trying to move over a large obstacle while moving forward for cleaning purposes.

Solution:

Just like causes, there are two possible ways to resolve this issue depending upon its causes.

Pick up the Roomba vacuum cleaner and move it upside down. Look for obstruction or something that is causing the wheels to hang out. Remove that obstruction and move wheels in and out to ensure that they are now seated perfectly into the cleaner’s body.
Check the cleaning area to remove all obstacles that Roomba vacuum cleaners can drive over. Removing them will ensure that the robot has an even surface and it will not be stuck or the wheels will not hang out while cleaning.
