my roomba 694 just beeps once and won't start cleaning, the clean button is lit up but it just sits there.

— asked by Jordan

DIAGNOSIS The robot is stuck in a 'start' loop because it can't confirm its bin is properly seated or the filter is clogged.

FIX Remove the bin, empty it, and re-seat it with a firm click. Check that the yellow bin release tab is fully engaged. Then hold the CLEAN button for 10 seconds to reboot it. That usually clears the beep-and-freeze.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK Take the filter out and tap it against a trash can. A heavily clogged filter restricts airflow enough for the robot to refuse a cleaning cycle. If it's really dirty, give it a light vacuum.

HEADS UP Don't run the robot without a filter or bin installed—the sensors will detect it's missing and keep throwing the same error.
