How do I reset my Roomba?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To reset your Roomba, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Clean button on your Roomba. It is usually located on the top of the device, near the center.

2. Press and hold the Clean button for about 20 seconds. You may need to use a pen or a similar object to press and hold the button if it is difficult to reach.

3. After holding the Clean button for 20 seconds, release it. You will notice that the light ring around the bin lid on your Roomba starts to glow white. This indicates that the reset process has started.

4. It is important to note that the reset process is not immediate. You will need to be patient as it may take up to a full minute and a half for the light ring to stop glowing.

5. Once the light ring stops glowing, your Roomba has completed the reboot process and is now reset. You can now use it as usual.

It is worth mentioning that resetting your Roomba can be helpful in resolving minor issues or errors that you may encounter. It essentially restarts the device, clearing any temporary glitches that may have occurred.

In my personal experience, I have had to reset my Roomba a couple of times when it seemed to be stuck or not responding properly. The reset process always resolved the issue, and my Roomba went back to working perfectly.

To summarize, resetting your Roomba involves pressing and holding the Clean button for 20 seconds, releasing it, and waiting for the light ring to stop glowing. This process can help resolve minor issues and get your Roomba back to normal operation.
