my roomba i3+ evo keeps getting stuck on my rug and flashing a red light, what's wrong?

— asked by Ben

The most likely cause is a jammed or overloaded front caster wheel. Hair and debris wrap around the axle, preventing it from spinning freely.

  1. Turn the robot over. Pull firmly on the front wheel module to remove it from the robot.
  2. Pull the wheel straight out of its housing.
  3. Remove all hair and debris from the wheel axle and the inside of the wheel cavity.
  4. Push the wheel back into the housing until it clicks into place. Reinstall the module.

If that didn't work, check the Edge-Sweeping Brush. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw, remove the brush, and clear any tangled hair or threads from its shaft. Reinstall and tighten the screw.

Heads up: A clogged front wheel that isn't spinning can damage your floor. If cleaning it doesn't fix the issue, contact iRobot Customer Care.
