Roomba 681: Il robot emette un rumore acuto durante il funzionamento

Il Roomba 681 è già piuttosto rumoroso, ma di recente ha cominciato ad emettere un rumore acuto durante il regolare funzionamento, come se qualcosa sfrigolasse all'interno.

Ho controllato le spazzole, smontandole e pulendole, ma non ho trovato nulla di insolito, e il problema non si è risolto.

Inoltre, la spazzola laterale puliscibordi ad elica ha, da poco prima di questo problema, smesso di girare regolarmente, e si muove molto lentamente solo se accompagnata dal movimento del robot, altrimenti resta ferma.

The Roomba 681 is already quite loud, but it has recently started making a high-pitched noise during regular operation, as if something is sizzling inside.

I've checked the brushes, taking them apart and cleaning them, but I haven't found anything unusual, and the problem hasn't gone away.

In addition, the helical edge-cleaning side brush has, since shortly before this problem, stopped turning regularly, and moves very slowly only if accompanied by the movement of the robot, otherwise it remains stationary.

Debris isn’t making it into Romba’s bin because the gasket that connects/feeds the debris from the robots vacuum to the bin is torn and falling off. Is this a replaceable part or should I try to super glue it back in place?

When I tell my i7 to vacuum, it comes off of the dock about 3 feet, and proceeds to just spin in circles. The wheels are clean, and the trash bin is empty. I'm not sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated, we've only had this robot for 2 months.

iRobot Roomba 561: Error 2 clean the brushes

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 08:01:27 -0700

My roomba moves for about a minute then says I need to clean the brushes. The brushes are clean. I’ve replaced all brushes and battery several times. I recently took the whole thing apart because of this error. I cleaned the fuzz around the motor and other places. I can’t tell if the brushes are spinning while it’s moving although it does sound different than normal. I thought this was because I cleaned around the motor. I can find parts on Amazon. Should I replace the green housing that the brushes sit in or should I replace the round sensor in the housing?
