Roomba Error 14 – 5 Causes and Ways to Fix It<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

1) Sensors, Filters, And Bins are Dirty<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don’t neglect your Roomba.<\/span>\u00a0It does all the hard work for you.<\/span>\u00a0Get on the ground.<\/span>\u00a0Get rid of all the dirt, dust, and grime.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can reach the most difficult areas in your home.<\/span>\u00a0It can get filthy as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sensitive parts of the Roomba are delicate.<\/span>\u00a0It is equipped with sensors, filters, as well as a bin.<\/span><\/p>\n

There Are Three Types of Sensors in Your Roomba:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
• Cliff sensors<\/span><\/li>\n
• Full-body bin sensors.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Sensors for floor tracking<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Cliff sensors<\/strong><\/span><\/em> detect any changes in floor level.<\/span>\u00a0Stairways, steps and ledges are all examples.<\/span>\u00a0It allows the Roomba to swerve and stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Full bin sensors<\/strong><\/span><\/em> notify you when your bin is dirty.<\/span>\u00a0Floor tracking sensors collect data about the room.<\/span>\u00a0This includes the location of furniture and walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

  The full bin sensors are important for Error 14.<\/span>\u00a0These sensors can detect an installed bin.<\/span>\u00a0These don’t work well if they get dirty.<\/span>\u00a0The Roomba is unable to detect the contents of the bin.<\/span><\/p>\n

  The filter is another thing to inspect.<\/span>\u00a0The filter separates the dust into smaller particles.<\/span>\u00a0The smaller particles are then put into the bin.<\/span><\/p>\n

  There may be some dust, wool or larger objects that accumulate.<\/span>\u00a0They can then get on other parts of your device.<\/span><\/p>\n

  This bin captures everything that passes through the filter.<\/span>\u00a0This is the most soiled part of your Roomba.<\/span><\/p>\n

  “So How Often Should I Clean My Sensors, Filters and Bin?”<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  Once a month for the floor tracking sensors or cliff sensors.<\/span>\u00a0It is required for full bin sensors every two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Keep the Roomba on a daily basis.<\/span>\u00a0Once a week, clean the filter<\/span>\u00a0You should clean the filter twice per week if you have pets with hairy heads.<\/span>\u00a0You should also change the filter every two months.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Empty the\u00a0bin after cleaning.<\/span>\u00a0It would be a good idea to clean it as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

  “What is the Best Way to Clean these Parts?”<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  You can view the sensor’s appearance before you start:<\/span><\/p>\n

  Step 1:<\/strong> Have a microfiber cloth on your hand. It should be clean.<\/p>\n

  Step 2:<\/strong> Flip over the Roomba. Find the sensors. Each model may differ. You will find some sensors under the device. Check the manual of your Roomba.<\/p>\n

  Step 3:<\/strong> Gently wipe the sensors using the cloth.<\/p>\n

  Step 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Now, you need to take apart the bin unit.\u00a0You will need to remove the bin and filter.\u00a0Clean the fan before you do this.\u00a0This can be done with a Q-tip.\u00a0This is to reach smaller corners.\u00a0This area will also be covered with dust.<\/p>\n

  Step 5:<\/strong> To clean the filter, click on the release button. It is located on the top of your Roomba. Then, slide the bin out. Next, empty the bin. To open the bin, press the yellow lever.<\/p>\n

  Step 6:<\/strong> The filter is often colored blue. The tabs should be pushed to one side. Next, take the filter out.<\/p>\n

  Step 7:<\/strong> Tip the filter into your garbage can. Continue doing this until you are satisfied with the result. Slide it back once you are done.<\/p>\n

  You can also use a paper towel to remove the dust.\u00a0You can also use a vacuum cleaner.\u00a0Never wash your filter with water.\u00a0Once you have done that, slide it back.<\/span><\/p>\n

  The bin can be washed with water.\u00a0Use warm water to rinse it.\u00a0Be sure to clean the sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

  After everything has been rearranged, you can check to see if error 14 still persists.<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n

  The Firmware Has been Corrupted<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  Software bugs are the biggest enemy of any device.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Software is also used by your Roomba.\u00a0Sometimes, the latter can fail.\u00a0It can be especially frustrating if you have used it for so many years.\u00a0However, it’s not always necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

  It may be in need of a break.\u00a0Or a deload.\u00a0Start over with a clean slate.<\/span><\/p>\n

  The software will slow down and cause problems for other components.\u00a0The error will then appear.<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n

  There are Three Ways to Resolve this Problem:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  \n
  • Reset the device.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Restart the device.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Reinstall the battery.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        How Can I Reinstall My Battery?<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        No improvements?\u00a0Let’s make some improvements to the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
        • To replace the battery:<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Use the Home Base.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • You will need only a power source.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Your Roomba will return to its Home Base after cleaning.\u00a0It will also return to the Home Base if its battery is low.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Your Roomba can be charged by plugging into a wall socket.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Be Aware: Don\u2019t wait days to charge your Roomba. This could cause damage to the battery.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          It’s charging when it has an amber-red pulse light.\u00a0It’s full when it flashes a solid green light.<\/span><\/p>\n

          A 16-hour refresh fee is also charged.\u00a0This applies to Roombas who have been away from their Home Base for a prolonged period.<\/span><\/p>\n

          This is done by the Roomba on its own.\u00a0It recharges the battery.\u00a0It also prolongs the battery’s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

          The battery can last up to 2 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Can You Change the Battery in My Roomba?<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The battery of a Roomba can be changed.\u00a0It does not require technical knowledge to get it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Remember that a Roomba can live for 2-6 years.\u00a0However, a battery’s lifespan is dependent on how well it is cared for.<\/span><\/p>\n

          If your battery is old, you should get a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Doesn’t charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Rapidly drains in less that two hours<\/span><\/p>\n

          It is almost at the maximum age of 6 year for the device.<\/span><\/p>\n

          It is best to buy it from a trusted manufacturer.\u00a0Make sure that it is the exact same battery as before.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
