To maximize its health, ensure frequent use and always <a href=\"https:\/\/scantechy.com\/why-is-shark-robot-vacuum-not-charging-solved\/\">dock<\/a> your Roomba when not in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This practice guarantees your Roomba is perpetually ready for its next cleaning session, contributing to sustained battery performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Frequent Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine running a marathon with clogged nostrils \u2013 not pleasant, right? Your Roomba feels the same about dirt, dust, and debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular cleaning, including filters, brushes, and bins, is the key to ensuring your Roomba glides smoothly and lasts longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Replace Components Timely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a car needs new tires, your Roomba needs fresh components. Keep an eye on crucial parts like batteries, brushes, sensors, air channels, and filters. Replacing them at recommended intervals ensures optimal performance and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Avoid Liquids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roombas, like cats, aren&#8217;t fans of water. Exposure to moisture or wet debris can lead to significant damage, from short circuits to complete malfunction. Keep your Roomba dry, and it will thank you with a prolonged and efficient service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_Your_Roomba_Might_Need_Retirement\"><\/span><strong>Signs Your Roomba Might Need Retirement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Error Messages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Roombas are excellent communicators. Pay attention to error messages like 8, 11 (motor issues), 15, and 25 (circuit problems). These messages signal potential problems that might indicate it&#8217;s time for a new Roomba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Roomba Won&#8217;t Start<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Roomba refuses to start even when charged and connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/scantechy.com\/how-to-connect-shark-to-new-wi-fi-get-to-know\/\">Wi-Fi<\/a>, it might be harboring serious battery issues. This could be a sign that your loyal Roomba companion is ready for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unavailability Of Parts Or Costly Repairs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While Roomba is designed for easy maintenance, there comes a time when finding replacement parts becomes a challenge.
