Thumping sound in the 5xx Roomba
Published (2009-11-10 16:22:00)
I believe the thumping is caused by the motor stopping and starting due to the increased mechanical load.

Question re Series 5XX battery
Published (2009-11-10 18:58:00)
You really need a smart charger. I'm not sure what battery chemistry your Roomba has. Possibly NiCD instead of NiMH.

Scooba Hanging up
Published (2009-11-05 17:09:00)
Michael, Welcome.JPG (7.41 KiB) Viewed 20 times Running your Scooba on tile will wear the treads a little faster on the Scooba vs. running it on linoleum. I'm sure once you get some new treads on your Scooba, it will run like it used to be!!

Gear won't turn on 560
Published (2009-11-01 18:00:00)
I think I have found a very simple reason why the brushes on the 500 series start to behave badly after about 90 days of activity and start to wear out the motor. On the "main" brush there is a yellow plastic dust seal that is used on both ends of the brush to help reduce the dust that can get into the gear box on one side and into the rest of the unit on the other. When brand new, the seal on the gearbox side is smooth and...

New 550 Model At Costco

Hi & Welcome to the forums. Is the Scheduler you are comparing too an older 4xxx Scheduler model? I am assuming so. Interesting comparison. Please see this other topic as well. We are all wondering how, on a 5xx model, the old squeege bin compares to new Aero Vac bin: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12149 FYI you can find squueege bins on ebay etc. from people like casiono187 & others, you don't have to get direct from iRobot...

New clever cousine of VC-RE70/72V, SR9630 and Furot II ? Yes, but improved It is better than all other Samsung bots because it has: - improved navigating system, - improved gyroscop for straight line moving, - 13 sensors, - improved camera, - better brush, - better anti-colission sensor, Price between $425 and $600 depending on additional function. It will be available in Korea and probably in Italy. Source:...

How to find the right 550 or 551...
Published (2009-11-06 12:34:00)
just by looking at it, I don't see how/why it would pick up less dirt. Seems like it would have more sucking power with the larger filter and more air flow.

Thumping sound in the 5xx Roomba
Published (2009-11-09 20:55:00)
The shielded bearings are easily replaced with sealed bearings. Small brush bearing (12x18x4) http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit7303 Large brush bearing (17x23x4) http://www.bocabearings.com/main1.aspx?%20...%20MR6703-2RS You have to disassemble the CHM and gearbox, push the gears out of the case, remove the damaged bearings from the gears and reinstall the sealed bearings. It's a straight forward process.

Carefully look between the brush deck and the middle of the chassis. You should see a string that connects the motor's transmission and to the chassis. This string allows the motor to wind up when it encounters resistance. If the string is broken the roomba will act as you describe.

There are quite a few chargers available in hobby stores that would work. You would have to make your own contacts though. Here is what I use for RC racing, I have also charged 400 series batteries with it. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wt ... XMAH9&P=ML

Two are for the thermistor which is part of the circuitry to monitor the temperature. The other two are the charge contacts. The two that look like a C-battery are actually a subc battery. The flat is negative, the one with a button is positive.

Most likely your main brushes no longer turn.

The circle dance is usually caused by dirty wheel sensors. Check the read me first topic for information on how to diagnose and fix the issue.

You can look for a cliff sensor assembly here: www.ProTechRobotics.com or possibly find one on ebay and replace yours.

*Most* of the 3xx Scooba's are identical. I unfortunately have my old trusty 5800 running strong, thus not needing a 3xx Scooba. The 3xx's were designed to cover more square footage by covering more floor faster, period! There is a slight color change on the body and design of the buttons, but pretty much they are the...

That's because the two shielded ball bearings in your Black CHM have filled up with dust. Once that happens then the balls in the bearing race can no longer spin. This causes the brush motor to consume too much power which causes the Roomba to quit with the error message to clean the brushes.

Try placing the Roomba into the Demo mode and see if it will run straight.

That's a nice combo of brushes, glad that they are working for you. Has anyone tried the DD Large brush and the same Black CHM small brush ? Or the 562 Large brush with the Black CHM small brush ?
